Mariana C. Horton - New England Oireachtas 2018 

This is a video of my final performance at the 2018 New England Regional Oireachtas, the qualifying competition for the World Irish Dance Championships. The dance I am performing was specifically choreographed for me by world champion Irish dance teachers Byron Tuttle and Brendan Brady to the tune of the Drunken Gauger (speed 70).
The choreography was created to highlight my strengths as a dancer as well as reflect traditional aspects of Irish dancing. An international panel of three judges scored this dance, which placed me third overall in the ladies under 19 competition and qualified me for the World Championships in Greensboro, NC this spring.
