Irish boys successful on day four of World Irish Dancing Championships

YESTERDAY proved a successful day for Ireland at the World Irish Dancing Championships in London, after two of the nation’s male dancers stole victory in their categories.

Jack Quinn was named winner of the Under 16 Boys whilst Conor Walsh was named champion of the Under 17 Boys.

US entries Melanie Valdes and Shannon Bradley were crowned champions of the Under 16 and Under 17 Girls categories, respectively, on what was also a celebratory day for dance school Doherty Petri.

The fifth day of the championships is currently underway – for full details, reports and photographs see our Irish Dancing section on our website.

The World Irish Dancing Championships run until Sunday.
