These results reflect two years of dedicated training, much of it over Zoom, from our team and our staff. Every success is special, but this year's competition and achievements felt like a particularly proud triumph. We are looking forward to returning to international competitions in the new year. Our team will be traveling to Killarney, Ireland in February for the All Ireland Championships and later to Belfast, Northern Ireland in April for the World Irish Dance Championships!
