Blakey O'Brien Irish Dance

🏆👑NAIDC CHAMP u15C, Taylor Connolly! You’ve been working so hard and have been a kind and patient friend, always celebrating the success of others and lifting everyone up. Your dancing was stellar and you deserved this big moment for all the reasons. Congratulations Tay. And congrats to the fab4 u16 4-hand on their 3rd place!

More teams moments - because we love our swarm of bees so much! Buzz buzz!! 🐝 So proud of your ability to dance as one heartbeat.

Teams are at the heart of our school since relaunching our program in 2023. Every medal represents hours of trust, partnership, encouragement, and moving as one. And sometimes, lots of patience and grace. Congratulations to our North American 4-hand and 8-hand teams on many top three placements and some teams debuts for our FSJ dancers, the lads, and Harlee! We couldn’t be prouder! 💚☘️🏆 BIG loud shoutout to for being our fearless team boss and snapping everyone into line.

ANYA🏅Top 20 and WQ! A personal best dance day for our cheeky forest fairy who is also a great teammate and friend. Well done little one! .hayter

REESE🏅Sassy gold spin queen! You’ve had a great first year as a Blakey Bee and we can’t wait to celebrate as you reach all your big goals.

Let’s go kill it at the studio
