Irish-American dancers have taken Kerry by storm in the All-Ireland Dance championships, which are taking place this week.

The youngest girls seem especially twinkle-toed. In the Girls 12-13 competition, five of the top 10 dancers are from the US. Schools whose dancers are swiping the prizes include Rince Na Tiarna, the Hagen School of Irish Dance, the Pender-Keady Academy, and the Gray Gillan Owens School.

The Broesler School and the Petri School are faring well too.

If Douglas Hyde could come back and see what a monster he unwittingly created he would die of shame. These kids look like clowns - what is with the wigs and the garish costumes? Tradition?? You must be joking...it's a long way from the aspirations of the Gaelic League. Sad.
