Eastern Canada Oireachtas 2009

Congratulations to all Short School dancers who took part in Oireachtas 2009. Each one of you gave a performance to be proud of and you were all superb ambassadors for our school. Many thanks to Bernadette and Marie for preparing everyone so well.

This year Michael Keane retained his Senior Men's Championship. We had eleven dancers in total who qualified for the World Championships to be held in Glasgow at Easter 2010. This a phenomenal achievement and deserving of our utmost congratulations. Hopefully their success will provide inspiration to all the dancers in our school.

The following is the full list of our qualifiers and recallers from the event - congratulations to each of them. Full results for all competitions are available by clicking here.


Our teams also did well in Sunday's Ceili Dance competitions. Once again congratulations to all who danced in teams. Many thanks to Marie for all her hard work and dedication in preparing the teams. Full results for all competitions are available by clicking here.
