Local Dancer and Marie Moore team win Irish Dance National Championship

Margaret Lesinski, entering third grade at Stuart Country Day School, was part of an under-9-year old Irish dance team that captured first place at the North American Irish Dance Championships held this summer in Anaheim, CA.  Margaret and her teammates, who form an 8-girl traditional "Ceili" team, dance with the Marie Moore School of Irish Dance in Scotch Plains and competed with girls throughout the continent.  Margaret and her team also recently danced at the Irish Dance World Championships in Boston and took 10th place in the world!  Margaret and her teammates will compete at the U.S. Regional Championships in Philadelphia this November and hope to repeat their top 10 placement from last year’s event.
