This is testimony to the feature article written by Patricia McNamara in the July/August issue of Feis America magazine, Sorority of Seniority. Read about some of the influential teachers/adjudicators – Kevin Broesler, Sally Houston, Patsy McLoughlin, Deirdre Penk-O’Donnell – and their success at keeping young ladies interested and motivated to keep dancing through the teen years when so many other challenges and opportunities present themselves. As evidenced by the top five in each group, this is not just a North American trend: three of the ten are from outside North America.
