The 2010 All Ireland Irish Dancing Championships came to an end today at the INEC venue in Killarney, County Kerry, after an exciting and busy week for all involved.

“It has been a fabulous week and the level of dancing has been first class,” the organizers wrote in a message on their website. And the pictures testify to this – the dozens of images posted online show the dancers enjoying themselves, and the organizers look like they're having a good time too.

The US was excellently represented in this year’s Championships. US girls made the top 10 in many groups, and several American boys also took home first prizes. John Mullane-Godley from the Mullane-Healy-O’Brien Academy in Illinois fared spectacularly in the 18-19 competition; Michael Putnam from the Dennehy school topped the 17-18 category; and Drew Lovejoy from the McGing school in Ohio came first in the boys’ 14-15 group.

Think people should know there is more than 1 All-Ireland for Irish-dancers (step dancers) ... more than 1 Irish-dance organisation! So as far as I'm concerned the All-Ireland hasn't taken place yet - roll on Easter week when the An Comhdháil All-Ireland & International Championships take place in Dublin ... will be genuine smiling faces at that one!! And why is the All-Ireland not just that ... confined to All-Ireland dancers only?
