Congratulations to all of the Murray Academy dancers, their parents and the teachers on our results at this year’s World Championships!! And a special congratulations to our two podium placers — Brigid O’Connor, 2nd in U11 and Kate Babcock, 5th in U18! This year 18 of our 20 qualifiers attended. Our students earned four World medals (three more than any other New England Irish dance school in girls’ competitions) and four additional recall medals, giving us a total of 8 individual medals, the highest total in New England for girls! We are proud of having 45% in the top 25-35% (recall) and 67% in the top half of their competitions. With competitions that were between 140-190 competitors, all at 3 at a time for the first two rounds, these are amazing results!! We are so proud of our girls!
