IRISH WELCOME CELTIC DANCE CHAMPIONS The Exiles are delighted to welcome the Dunlop Academy of Irish Dance to their final home match of the season at the Madejski Stadium on Saturday, 10 May. The Irish Dance troop will be performing pitchside at half time during the crucial clash with Bristol Shoguns. The Aldershot based Dance Academy currently holds seven Great Britain titles (two of which are for the third year running) and three All England titles. They compete regularly in national and international competitions and are one of the most successful Irish dance troops in the UK, with nearly one hundred members aged between 3 and 22 years old.
Lynn Dunlop, Principal of the Dunlop Academy, is keen to bring the award winning troop to Reading again: "We've had a great reception from the crowd at the Madejski when we've danced there before and we're really looking forward to performing on Saturday. The dancers will have a busy day as they are also collecting for our tour to Germany in June." Irish is expecting a huge crowd for the decisive final match of the season against Bristol Shoguns, and the Irish dancers will add to the great atmosphere at the Madejski.
