Culkin School News Blog

Belated congratulations to all the Culkin School dancers who represented us at the 2009 Southern Region Oireachtas in Dallas, Texas in December.

Among our solo and team dancers, we're honored to have a number of World Qualifiers and another regional championship title.   Moira R, Samantha D, Margot W, Matthew L and Patrick A all qualified for the 2010 World Championships.  And the Ladies 4-Hand, made up this year of Tammy L, Kate P, Lynne H and Angela H, won their 6th straight championship title.  A number of other dancers qualified for the 2010 North American Championships in Orlando this coming July.

Great job by everyone!

• Moira R received her second 1st place in Preliminary Championships at the Delaware Feis, which qualifies her for Open Championships.  Way to go, Moira!
• Lynne H has been announced as the winner of the 2009 Peggy O'Neill Cup, which goes to the adult dancer receiving the highest number of points at the Nation's Capital Feis. Congratulations, Lynne!

Congratulations to Megan Howard, TCRG, on passing the Irish dance certification exam.  Megan has been with the school since we started our adult classes in 1995. She is currently an assistant teacher for our adult classes in Bethesda on Monday nights.

The TCRG is a very difficult exam, and we are all very proud of Megan’s accomplishment. Hard work pays off again. Congrats also to Megan’s husband Ben and her two children Riley and Molly.
