From their web site:
- Deirdre Penk-O'Donnell. This resident of British Columbia teaches Irish Dancing in both Vancouver, B.C., and Fort McMurray, Alberta. Deirdre began dancing at age four, and she developed to the point where she finished an impressive seven times in the top ten at the World Irish Dance Championships. She is a North American National Champion, placed second in the Great Britain and British National Championships, and won the overseas trophy three times at the World Irish Dance Championships, where she wrapped up her competitive career with a fifth-place finish in 1989.
- Patrick O'Donnell. Patrick started Irish dancing at the age of 11 under the watchful eye of expert Christine Angliss from Coventry, England. From the age of 17 to 22 Patrick won the All England five times, the All Ireland three times and came second in the World Championships twice. Patrick emigrated to Canada in 1982, but returned to England in 1987 to dance again, again coming second in the world championships. In his 29th year (now well passed it, by many accounts) he returned again for one last kick at the cat, so to speak. In 1988 Patrick O'Donnell, won the senior mens World championships in Galway Ireland.
