IMDA's Decade of Dance Award recognizes the significant commitment that some students make to Irish Dance. The dancers who receive this award have studied Irish dance for at least 10 years; for most it represents the major portion of their young lives.
They have shared a very special element of Irish culture with audiences in all kinds of settings from community festivals and concert halls to nursing homes and schools. Along the way, they delight audiences, make friends, and serve as delightful and engaging ambassadors for Irish culture to the greater community.
The awards are presented at IMDA’s Day of Irish Dance at Landmark Center.
The dancers receive a certificate and a special Decade of Dance medal.
