Kilcullen helps make Riverdance Guinness record

A very special RiverdanceYoung Siofra Kelly from Nicholastown was one of 1,693 dancers from 44 countries who helped to make a new Guinness record today, writes Brian Byrne.

There were also a number of other Kilcullen people in the longest Riverdance line event, notably Orla O'Neill and family, which was held on both sides of the Liffey and across a bridge between the north and south docklands.

A video of Siofra sent in for a competition associated with the effort won for her family a weekend in Dublin and a special lesson in Riverdance dancing from some of the cast of the current show. She's pictured above with them after the lesson.
