Dancing queens bag state title

Sunshine Coast Irish dancers have taken away the 2017 Queensland Irish Dancing Championships awards this month, and will travel to Adelaide in September to compete in the Australian championships.
Three Noosa Irish dancers and a fourth girl from Maroochydore represented the state in the competition in Brisbane on 6 August.
Eire Dance Australia teacher Brent Pace said the girls had trained hard all year for the competition which required four dancers to dance in unison to a highly choreographed and challenging routine.
“Competing against nine other teams from the State of Queensland they danced the routine of their life to come away with first place,” he said.
The girls were awarded the Vicki Lynagh Perpetual Trophy and crowned 2017 State Champions in the four hand girls Ceili under-12 section.
