Action Shots

If you ask any Irish Dancer they will all have the same response. Action shots are one of the best things from Major Competitions. No matter how you did, it's exciting to check online to see if you got a good photo to post or not.


At competitions the photographers will take pictures of girls during their first two rounds. Usually the higher level of major- the better quality and quantity of photos one has to choose from. But, each dancer will be guaranteed a starting shot of them pointing there foot and then hopefully the odds are in your favor for a decent action shot.




At awards the photographers also take pictures. Obviously, they are there to take photos of girls and their awards but they also take action shots of peoples reactions to their results. At awards the announcer will first call out the numbers for world qualifiers or the top ten dancers. Dancers will run on stage in tears and excitement. Then they wait on the back of the stage while the announcer annonces the awards starting from the lowest place to the highest place. As one can imagine, the suspense builds especially when you get to the top 5 and are counting down to the winner.



Action shots are the craze of Irish Dance at the moment and we are anxiously awaiting the worlds 2016 photos to be posted. Fingers crossed the odds are ever in our favor for a decent photo!
