Local dancer set to represent P.A. dance school for first time ever at World Irish Dancing Championships
A dancer from Prince Albert will be stepping into the international spotlight this weekend as she readies for the World Irish Dancing Championships.
The competition is being held across the pond in Glasgow, Scotland where Delaney Schmalz is set to represent not only her country, but Saskatchewan and Prince Albert too.
All participants in the event had to qualify to attend and Schmalz said this achievement not only means a lot to her, but to her school, the Ashden School of Irish Dance, as well.
“It was an extra special feeling because my dance teacher qualified for the first time in 2011 and I am the first person from our school to ever qualify. It’s a very big honour and I’m very excited.”
