St Johns Notes

February 17, 2013
St Johns club hosted the final of Strictly Come Dance 2013 on Saturday night with over 600 people enjoying 6 couples battle it out to become the champions. 15 weeks of hard work paid off with 3 amazing shows in recent weeks.

The couples performing on finals night were Ronan Kelly & Dearbhla Arkins, Jimmy Laverty & Mary Fitzpatrick, Alan Henderson & Siobhan McCann, Aiden Kelly & Roisin McMullan, Ray Addis & Michelle Morgan and Anthony Doran & Oonagh Doyle.

Each couple performed 2 routines and Ray Addis & Michelle Morgan had the highest combined scores after the judges had finished giving their votes and it was then over to the public to have their say. This confirmed Ray Addis and Michelle Morgan as worthy champions.

The nights dancing was rounded off with all 11 couples performing a final routine of I've Had The Time of My Life, something I am sure all the dancers will remember for many years to come.

Over the past number of months, a huge amount of time and effort has went into the planning and staging of these shows and they would not have been possible without the contribution and commitment of all the dancers, organisers Pep Keenan, Cormac McMullan and Vince Arkins, production team of Paul McArdle and Simon Walsh, judges, sponsors, volunteers, hosts Micky Flynn and Mary Boyle, choreographer Shane Berger and everybody else who helped in any way.
