| Twenty-seven of the Culkin School’s dancers will compete July 4-9 at the North American Irish Dance Championships (sometimes called “Nationals” or “NANs”) at the Gaylord in National Harbor. Dancers who compete in Solo competitions qualified for the NANs at our Southern Region Oireachtas back in December, and have been prepping ever since. We also have 13 dancers competing in Traditional Set dances, and many on teams including several Culkin college-aged dancers. We are SO PROUD of the hard work have put in to get to this far, and can’t wait to watch them shine on the big stage! See the link above for all event information, and watch for live updates on NAN’s Instagram page. |
| If you would like to take your dancer to see our dancers shine, and the rest of the best Irish Dancers in North America, that’s a great idea! Here is what you need to know: – Parking at the Gaylord is $20 per day – Review the Event Logistics page on the NANs website. You will see a reference to a $100 wristband fee – but keep scrolling, and you will see this: – Facility Fee Exemption: Residents of DC, Maryland, Virginia, and military personnel are exempt from the facility fee and can obtain their free daily wristbands and can be picked up at the Info Desk located by the Woodrow Wilson Ballroom. Photo identification is required for all wristbands |
