A Burnaby dancer has taken her place on the podium for Canada.
Caroline Kiddie, 15, has been competing with Team Canada at the International Dance Organization World Championships in Poland.
The Douglas Ballet Academy and Moscrop Secondary student earned a silver medal among the world's best performers in the junior female ballet solo category.
An email from her mother, Susan Kiddie, notes that to earn the medal, she had to dance her Raymonda Variation three times in a period of four-and-a-half hours, to pass from the quarterfinals to the semifinals to the finals in a field of 24 dancers.
She was also part of a silver-medal-winning performance by Team Canada West in the junior large ballet category, while their junior small ballet group captured sixth place.
