Jessica Rogers celebrates her win. Jessica’s dream comes true as she scoops world title! “When I was younger I had to get a new Irish dancing costume made almost every year as I was still growing,” she points out. The young Athlone woman’s achievement in being crowned World Irish Dance Champion is made all the more remarkable by the fact that she gave up Irish dancing in 2017 to concentrate on becoming a fully-qualified chartered accountant. Since she first started dancing at four years of age, Jessica Rogers always harboured a dream of winning the World Championships.
