Irish Dance Sisters Rock the Regionals

The New England Regional Irish Dance Championships are held every November.  This past November, ten-year old Allison Rozear won first place out of over 50 dancers in the U10 Traditional Set Dance competition.  Allison's great achievement is particularly significant because her older sister, Amelia, won the same title and perpetual trophy two years earlier.  That two sisters would win the same competition at the same age is extremely rare and a noteworthy success.  The Rozear girls are students at the Lenihan School of Irish Dance, which holds classes in East Haven and Branford.  At the end of March, the girls will compete for the Lenihan School in team dances at the Irish Dance World Championship in Boston.
