I started dance when I was 10, after becoming obsessed several years earlier and figuring that I just couldn't get by with making up my own dances any longer. My school went through an ownership change, and now we're partners with Trinity Irish Dance! I'm 15 now in U16, and in Open Championships (I haven't competed yet, I was only in preliminary for 6 weeks and am NOT READY for Opens!!). Irish Dance is my favorite thing in the world and I would go to class every day if I could! I'm set to go to the Oireachtas this year for the first time, in Ceilis and solos, and I drill classes every week.
