For the second year in a row, Molly Kate-Brooks Smock is the youngest Irish dancer from Rochester to represent the USA at the 2015 World Championship in Montreal, Canada.
Molly had a successful competition at the Mid-Atlantic Regional Irish Dance Championship over Thanksgiving break and qualified for the Irish Dance World Championship to be held in Montreal March 28 to April 5. To qualify she took 8th place out of 120 dancers in her age group.
Molly is a high honor roll student at the Oliver Middle School in Brockport, and an active member of the Safe School Ambassadors who help address bullying and a member of the school’s book club. She has also been named the first student of the month in her sixth grade class.
Molly will be joined this year by her older sister Hayley Smock. Hayley, a dean’s list student at The College at Brockport, is returning to the World Championships for the third time. Molly and Hayley dance for the Boland School of Irish Dance in Greece under the direction of Barbara Boland-Lussier and her daughter, Courtney Lussier.
