Southern Region Irish Dancing Championship Friday - Results and Photos

at the Southern Region  Irish Dancing Championships.

The Irish Dance Teachers Association of North America Southern Region is hosting the last of seven North American regional Irish dancing championships this weekend in Orlando, Florida. Teachers and Irish dancing families from Texas to Florida and Maryland to Mexico converged upon the J.W. Marriot Grand Lakes starting Thursday evening to celebrate the 15th anniversary of the Southern Region's Irish dancing championships.

Follow @FeisAmerica on Twitter and visit our fanpage on wwwFeisAmeria.com for up to the minute results all weekend long!

Friday, solo competitions for children had emotions running high, with boys and girls as young as 6 and up to age 13, dancing reels, slip jigs, treble jigs and hornpipes, with the top 50% in each group going on to perform a contemporary set piece.  A total of nine adjudicators - three for each round - scored and ranked the dancers, and after all results were tabulated, a packed ballroom cheered and clapped and whooped it up.

World Irish Dancing Championship and North American Irish Dancing Championship qualifiers were announced, and placements were called in reverse order, leading to the new Southern Region Irish Dancing Champion for each age group climbing the podium. In the end, seven regional Irish dancing championship titles were defended, with five competitions seeing a shift on the podium with a new regional Irish dancing champion on top.

Congratulations to all the dancers, teachers and families from your friends at Feis America, North America's favorite Irish dancing magazine!  We also send our warmest regards to those who qualified to compete, but were not able to dance because of an injury or other issue - you were sorely missed.

Mid-Atlantic Regional Irish Dancing Championship Team Results!

The team competitions at ANY regional Irish dancing championship are always the most hectic and most fun part of the whole event.  Dancers who may or may not have competed in solo competitions join up with their dance classmates, dress as alike as humanly possible and move as one unit throughout the venue.  One can read the lips of the littlest leaders as they count off during practice and siblings who have been paired together in a mixed ceili may well start a short-lived battle.  Like the fictional Madeline and her two straight lines of little girls in Paris, dancers are seen holding hands as they make their way around the ballrooms and are kept busy with parents and young teachers while waiting their turn on stage.  The older dancers are truly as delightful - so many have been dancing ceili together since a young age that they are like mature couples at a family wedding!  The adult competitions at the Mid-Atlantic Regional Irish Dancing Championships are well-subscribed and from young to old, there are hundreds of teams and close to a thousand team members on site on team day.

Mid-Atlantic Irish Dancing Championships Top 10 Results Part Three

The third and final day of the Mid-Atlantic Regional Irish Dancing Championships is as exciting as the first, with important solo and team titles up for grabs!  Check here Monday on Go Feis! The Irish Dance Blog for Mid America solo and team results!

This year, the 2010 Girls under 11 World Champion Julia O'Rourke claimed her fifth consecutive Mid-Atlantic Regional Irish Dancing Championship in Girls under 12.  O'Rourke is perhaps best known for her role in the much-lauded documentary Jig!, a film by Sue Bourne about the 2010 World Irish Dancing Championships.  Sean Crosby, Mid-Atlantic Regional Irish Dancing Champion for Boys under 12, and Owen Luebbers, Mid-Atlantic Regional Irish Dancing Champion for Boys under 13, both claimed their fifth consecutive title this year.

Declan Meagher, whose first regional championship was in 2008, claimed his fourth consecutive title as Boys under 11 Mid-Atlantic Regional Champion .Three Mid-Atlantic Regional Irish Dancing boy champions, Sean Reagan, Lockie Nidds and Gannon Connors successfully defended their titles for the third consecutive year.  Jonathan DiTullio defended his 2010 title to become the 2011 Boys under 14 Mid-Atlantic Regional Champion.

Kerri Betz, from Ryan Kilcoyne, started 2011 as a Preliminary Champion, moved up to Open Champion, placed 5th at the North American Irish Dancing Championships and then clinched this year's regional title for Girls under 11!  Girls under 10 Mid-Atlantic Champion Emily Marino, from Rince na Tiarna, also won the North American Irish Dancing Championship for her age group this year.
