Champions of Europe

16 April 2025

A LOCAL dance school has come out on top at the European Dance Masters Championships 2025.

Pupils from the Jenna Finnegan Dance Company based in Ballyhornan joined hundreds of dancers from around Europe at the annual competition held in the Europa Hotel in Belfast recently.

There were many top places and podium positions achieved between the club, and three pupils – Rossa Rooney, Darcy Holland and Aoife Reid – became European champions.

Dance teacher Jenna Finnegan said she was “so proud” of everyone who competed.

“The standard was so high, everyone danced the best they have ever done,” she remarked.

“Huge congratulation to our European champions and good luck to all the children who will be competing in the World Dance Masters Championships in Blackpool in July.”
