STAGES ARE A REEL DANGER FOR DANCERS

PARENTS of the country’s best Irish dancers have lashed the recent world championships amid claims around 100 children fell on stage. 

Families, who blamed platforms at the Oireachtas Rince na Cruinne, circulated a video that claims to show 146 plunges.

In response to queries from the Irish Mirror, the number was described as “small” by CLRG.

Founded in 1927, it is the world’s oldest competitive Irish dance organisation.

A spokesperson said: “A small number of competitors, stumbling or slipping during their performance, is a matter of course during competition.”
