Congratulations to our dancers who participated in the 2023 New England Region Oireactas in Hartford, CT!
We had five New England Regional champions and four runners-up—a total of 15 soloists stood on the podium! And 21 of our soloists earned the right to compete at the World Championships in Glasgow this spring.
Our Traditional Set dancers included two champions, and two runners-up with a total of 6 dancers on the podium. On the final day, we saw two of our teams take the top of the podium as champions with three runners-up and a total of 14 teams on the podium!
