Our Academy’s dancers were delighted to be back competing at the first national competition of the season – The All Ireland Championships 2022 held in Kildare over the weekend of September 17 & 18.

A big thank you to all of them for spending the day dancing in student-teacher events – we appreciate you!

Last but not the least, a big thank you to all our dancers, parents, supporters and well-wishers for your presence, it made all the difference and truly made the weekend a wonderful one to remember!
