Competitors from Narrandera, Young and Griffith joined those from the Border and North East to vie for success in a variety of styles.
In the biggest section, 14 young dancers were entered in the 9 and 10 years novice classical solo that opened Sunday’s program.
Other styles on show in the morning session included demi character, neo classical, national solo, song and dance and tap.
The eisteddfod returned in 1982 with a four-day festival and has grown into two weeks of music, dance, debating, speech and drama.
This year debating has been introduced for primary school students and organisers report increased entries for speech and drama.
The dance schedule continues this week with the various age groups going through the art’s different forms.
One of the most popular categories, the 15 to 21 years open contemporary solo on Thursday, has attracted 34 entries while the next section lists only a single competitor.
