A breathtaking foot-tapping musical extravaganza. The talented girls come from across the city to train at The Hunslet Club in South Leeds.

Over the last year their performances have featured on television and have headlined at local festivals. Their greatest achievement has been the qualification of two of their members to compete at the World Irish Dance Championships in America. Competing against over 300 dancers, Shannon Adamson and Megan Kelly-Wright danced two rounds coming very close to places in the final 50.

Says Mary Wright their tutor "Both girls danced to the best of their ability and I was extremely proud of both of them. The standard of dancing was incredibly high and the venue and atmosphere was fabulous." Adds Jason Slack from The Hunslet Club "They have done incredibly well for themselves, competing alongside the worlds' very best and we were so pleased, they along with everyone who learn dancing at the Club demonstrate that there is some amazing talent to be found in young people of South Leeds."

Now you too can see their incredible talent in action on Light Night, this is not to be missed!
