It is not a surprise that two of the 2012 World and All Ireland Irish Dancing champions topped the podiums in their competitions at the British National Irish Dancing Championships today. Jack Quinn, who dances with Ui She in the Leicester region of Ireland, is a three-time World Irish Dancing Champion and has held the All Ireland Irish Dancing Champion title since 2010. He also won the 2011 Great Britain Irish Dancing Championship. He is now also the 2012 British National Irish Dancing Champion for Boys under 14.
Ruari McCabe, who won the Boys under 11 event today, is from Morgan in the North West region of England. Like Quinn, McCabe is also the 2012 World and the defending All Ireland Irish Dancing Champion since 2011, the first year he was eligible to compete in that major competition.
