The Cashel-based Burgess School of Irish Dance achieved excellent results at the recent Munster Irish Dancing Championships in Ennis, Co. Clare.
The school’s youngest competitor, Bébhinn Hickey, was crowned U6 Champion of Munster. Senior dancers Laura Kennedy (U16) and Grace O'Dwyer (U17) also enjoyed significant success, both securing qualification for the World Irish Dancing Championships in Chicago next Easter.
Many other dancers from the school also achieved strong results across their categories, reflecting their commitment and progress throughout the year.
