Teachers, dancers, parents and supporters,

We are overwhelmed with the support for our Midlands Regional Championships yesterday. The standard of dancing across all the grades was incredible but what was brilliant to see was the support and camaraderie between dancers. A credit to all the schools who attended.

Thanks to the MAC for being such an incredible venue, our musician Daniel Bolger and fantastic adjudicators Caroline Temple Shaun Temple and Eva Brosnan.

The biggest thanks to the parents and dancers at KC for their unwavering support and dedication. We came together to pull off a fantastic event that was truly all about the dancers.

Thanks to everyone who dropped by to see us, friends new and old, the beauty of Irish dancing.

A few tweaks for next year, as always, as we learn and grow but we hope you will all join us again.
