IRISH dancers have walked away with three trophies in an international competition.
Forty-two members of the Linda Fryday Academy competed in the Barcelona International Dance Awards from March 20 to March 23.
The dancers, aged six to 24, who meet at Hubert House, Mallard Close, Temple Hill, and Freemantle Hall in Bexley High Street, won the categories for best folk dance, best costume and best overall dance.
Academy principal Linda Fryday said: "There's been a lot of hard work put in by all the dancers.
"It's all about them. They surpassed our expectations and the global recognition which they have received has really delighted us.
"They performed on a world stage and won. We are so proud of them all."
