1. How do you achieve 1st place in the Oireachtas?
2. How did it feel to win?
3. Who celebrated your win with you?
4. Where would you like to go with your dance goals from here?
5. Everyone at NPIDA is very proud of you (instructors, staff and dancers alike). How does that make you feel?

Today we are featuring CAITLIN B-T, who won the U-12 age category at the 2014 Oireachtas. Caitlin also placed 2nd at the 2014 North American Championships, and 27th at the 2014 World Championships.


1. How do you achieve 1st place in the Oireachtas?
I try my best to work my hardest in class and at home, I try to drill my steps as much as I can and also you just have to be confident with your dancing.

2. How did it feel to win?
It always feels great to win; I was very excited because it’s great to know that hard work pays off.

3. Who celebrated your win with you?
My family, my friends and my teachers were able to spend some time together.

4. Where would you like to go with your dance goals from here?
I would like to go to Worlds and do my best, to be happy and proud of my dancing. 

5. Everyone at NPIDA is very proud of you (instructors, staff and dancers alike). How does that make you feel?
It makes me feel really good and confident; to know people are proud of me helps me try harder.

CONGRATULATIONS CAITLIN!
