When Camille Slaght was in elementary school, she sat in the audience while one of her classmates performed an Irish dance routine at a talent show. Seeing the power and grace of this tiny body kicking and jumping in her colourful and shiny outfit was enough to draw Camille into a sport she would one day come to dominate.

"Once I started, I knew there was a lot more to it than the costumes and the bling."

Camille performs in numerous competitions nationally and internationally, currently holding the titles of Eastern Canadian Champion and All Scotland Champion in Irish dance. While most people know some version of Irish dancing from popular theatrical productions such as Riverdance or Lord of the Dance, Camille describes it as an artform that incorporates more than just legwork and jumps.
