Over 40s Jig Winners

About

Over the past 10 years there has been an influx of younger dancers which is excellent. Hattie Vale was 14 when she won the Solo Competition in 2000. We were in danger of losing the older, experienced, but still very good, dancers. We decided to start the Over 40 section to redress this balance and then discovered that most of the dancers we were aiming at were actually over 50! All the dancers enter the main competition and they can choose to enter this section as well if they are eligible. The musician does not have to be over 40.
