AMAZED at this girl who only started Irish Dance about 2 1/2 years ago, flew through grades, then was barely in prelim for one year and today…TODAY!…she has her third overall win and is officially an OPEN CHAMP!👑🏆🤌🤩

What an incredible weekend for our u12 superstar! She competed this morning and placed 2nd in a large competition, then WON her supplemental competition out of even MORE dancers! As if this wasn’t enough, we are also very proud to say she is the winner of the Maureen McTeggart Hall Perpetual Cup for a Trad Set Special. What a gal!😍. Thank you so much to McTeggart Oklahoma for hosting this feis weekend! We are so grateful.🥹❤️

♥️🇺🇸🏅44th IN NORTH AMERICA 🏅🇺🇸♥️

This girl never ceases to amaze, and she’s done it again in Orlando, Florida today at the North American Irish Dancing Championships placing 44th out of a staggering 132 dancers in her age category!

Clare gives every aspect of her life 110% and Irish Dance is no exception. Her consistent dedication to this sport has not only caught the attention of those around her, but has helped her earn this incredible placement in a tough competition! Not only that, but Clare continues to mine each of these experiences for wisdom, knowledge of herself, maturity, discipline, and always, always continued growth.

Well done, Clare Padilla ! We can’t wait to see where all your Irish Dance journey will continue to take you in the future!
