wow! is the only word that can describe the experience we all had in Disney Paris.The standard was extremely high and the tension even higher but the girls were all up for the task and boy did they do us proud,first competition was junior Tap and our routine “Hit The Road Jack” took the packed Theatre by storm and when we were announced 1st place the Morgan Dance entourage went crazy!!
The same group of girls went on to win the Modern competition the next day and you can imagine the atmosphere in the camp at that stage.
Naoimh Morgan was back this year defending her two World Titles in Contemporary and Tap,the excitement was electric and to our delight she won both Titles again !!!

2nd places and a third and fourth place,this was an amazing achievement.
