Congratulations to our dancers who participated in the 2024 New England Region Oireachtas in Hartford, CT!
For the second year in a row, we had five New England Regional champions and four runners-up—a total of 15 soloists stood on the podium! Additionally, 22 of our soloists earned the right to compete at the World Championships in Dublin this spring!
Our Traditional Set dancers included 3 dancers on the podium, and 12 in the top 10 of their competitions. On the final day, we saw two of our teams take the top of the podium as champions with four runners-up and a total of 13 teams on the podium!
This was a very exciting year with another strong set of results for our school. We are so very proud of each of our dancers who competed at this year’s New England Oireachtas. It is always a joy seeing their hard work come to life on stage!
