THREE youngsters are to compete in the World Irish Dancing Championships.
Richard Feather, 12, Frances Finn, 11, and Rachael Baty, 12, will travel to Ennis, Ireland, in March, for the competition.
They are all members of the Clann Na nGael Dance Club, based in Catterick Garrison, North Yorkshire.
Dance teacher Alison Watson said: "I am very proud of the children.
"They have worked hard and deserve to qualify for the championships.
"Irish dancing is enjoyable, but when the children reach the level that Frances, Rachael and Richard have, it involves a great deal of commitment, not only from the children but the parents also."
To prepare for the championships, the children are travelling to Newcastle each week for extra lessons.
