THE DAME JUDI DENCH TEACHERS PERPETUAL AWARD

AIDA (Qld) Inc. wishes to extend its sincere gratitude to internationally-acclaimed actress Dame Judi Dench for her generous donation to Irish Dancing in our State. Dame Judi Dench has donated three perpetual trophies which are to be presented to the winning teachers, this year in the following 2015 Championship Sections:

Minor Girls 9 Years
Intermediate Boys 13 years
Under 15 Girls Four Hand Ceili


This wonderful donation has been made following Dame Judi’s personal association with Ann Hoey – one of Queensland’s staunchest Irish dancing supporters. AIDA (Qld) Inc. is very proud that its Irish Dancing community has been acknowledged world-wide in such a way. Our thanks go out to Ann or “Aunty Ann” as she is known to most of us, for her continued support of Irish Dancers in Queensland.
