THANK YOU all for your support and for helping us to raise an incredible \u20ac67,000 resulting in \u20ac60,000 towards our youth programmes in the centre.<\/p>\n
Massive congratulations to Holy and Tiarnan dancing \u2018The Argentine Tango\u2019 \u2013 our Ozanam Come Dancing Winners 2020!<\/p>\n
Ozanam Come Dancing was held in Liberty Hall on Friday 6th\u00a0March last. A sell out crowd of 420 people filled the venue and were entertained by our 11 amazing couples who danced Salsa, the Charleston, Swing, the Jive, Disco, Foxtrot, Argentine Tango and the Paso Doble.<\/p>\n
The amazing Brendan Courtney returned for his\u00a0sixth year as our host and once again guided us through the evening with smiles and laughs. With his wit and style, his kindness and care of our dancers, Brendan remains a very special part of our event.<\/p>\n
Brendan was joined this year by our wonderful celebrity Judges,\u00a0comedienne, singer and actress Katherine Lynch; actor and playwright, Thommas Kane Byrne and professional dancer and dance adjudicator, Brian Keogh.\u00a0All shared their wisdom, insight and humour throughout the evening. The incredibly talented children and young adults from \u2018C & N Dance Academy\u2019 in Ballymun provided the entertainment on the night.<\/p>\n
Our volunteer dancers came on board from within the Society of Saint Vincent de Paul, the local community and many of our corporate and community partners including CDETB, Danceworld and\u00a0AIB. A huge thank you goes to all of our 11 Couples for their incredible commitment, hard work, fundraising efforts and support. They put on a truly incredible show on the night and amazed everyone with what can be achieved after only 9 weeks of lessons. They really were the stars of the show! Thanks also to our teacher and choreographer June Carr whose guidance and support contributes so much to the success of the event.<\/p>\n
Our congratulations go to Holy and Tiarnan who danced the \u2018Argentine Tango\u2019 and are our Ozanam Come Dancing Winners 2020!<\/p>\n
