Roxanne brings home dance silverware

Young Kilcullen dancer Roxanne O'Neill won a slate of trophies at the Dance Sport Ireland All Ireland Championships hosted in the Dolmen Hotel in Carlow last Sunday. She came away as Junior Champion in the 5-Dance Latin and 5-Dance Ballroom categories, as well as taking the silverware for Under 14 5-Dance Latin and Ballroom and the Junior 3-Dance Latin and Ballroom events.

The five dances in the Latin segment are Cha-Cha, Samba, International Rumba, Paso Doble, and Jive. The standard dances in Ballroom are the White Waltz, Tango, Viennese Waltz, Foxtrot, and Quickstep.

Roxanne is a member of the Aaron and Niamh School of Dance, who hold Saturday morning classes at Kilcullen Community Centre. She is pictured here with her professional Latin and Ballroom teachers, Niamh Curtin and Arron Flynn.

It's Roxanne's first year competing at this level.
