2025 WORLD CHAMPIONSHIPS
We are excited to announce that we will be taking a team to the 2025 World Championships in Dublin! It has long been a dream to not only represent Queensland and Australia on the World stage in solos, but to also field teams at the prestigious event.
In 2020, our dream was taken away by COVID only weeks before we were due to leave and after two years of committed training.
Training is underway in earnest as our 2025 World Championship Squad prepares to take on the best Irish dancers in the world!
We could not undertake such a goal without the support of our fabulous and generous sponsors -
