To add something different to our 10th Anniversary Championships, we are putting on a “Championship Challenge”. All dancers that place in the top 5 in all Open Championships are invited to take part in this. They will be asked to do a Step-about in both light and heavy Shoes down the line (Two light Dances for Age 8). All Dancers have to wear all Black for this Challenge. There will be a Championship Challenge Winner awarded for Age 8, Age 12, Age 16 and Over 16. (There is no charge for taking part in this challenge)


As we are an organization of goodwill we will be holding our yearly charity rally reel competition. The cost of this competition is €10 per dancer. Dancers are asked to pay for this when the competition is on. All proceeds will go directly to this years charity which is Muscular Dystrophy Ireland (MDI). We would encourage as many dancers as possible to participate in this worthy cause. Please see www.mdi.ie for more information on this charity.
