The Australians arrive in Dublin to dance against the best in the world at the 2011 World Irish Dancing Championships. Who is the best in the world? The Irish of course. There’s Shaunagh who will be competing against Ceili. There’s Roisin who at 11 years old came third last year and wants to win this year. There’s Richard who is a natural champion but after slipping down the podium in the last few years is determined to come back this year and Emma who thinks this may be her last Worlds so she is determined to be up on the winner’s podium. Each has the hometown advantage and has been training for and competing at the Worlds since they could qualify. But the competition is intense with dancers coming from 27 countries around the world including the Australians who on ‘Day One’ of the competition are not taking it lying down.
