Six minutes. It’s enough time for one dance, and it’s all the time one Dormont troupe will have to impress judges at the 2013 World Irish Dance Championship this weekend. The team from Shovlin Academy of Irish Dance is one of 14 groups competing in their category Friday, and instructor Liz Shovlin Grinko said her dancers—ranging in age from 10 to 18—are ready. “The kids are excited about the experience,” she said. “They’ve had a lot of fun, and like in anything, they support each other as a team.” The experience is one many dancers never get to take part in, and the world stage will be quite different from their home studio on the lower level of Dormont Municipal Center.
