Proceeds from the concert will help to defray the cost of participating in  
and training for world and other championship competitions.  Among the  dancers 
participating in the April 6 concert are ten Burke dancers who are  just 
returning from competing in the World Championship competition held in  Belfast, 
Northern Ireland, from March 23-30. The dancers qualified as top  competitors 
in their respective age groups, either at the 2007 Midwest Regional  
Oireachtas, a competition held in Chicago that drew dancers from 13 states, or  the 2007 
North American National Championships, which was held this past July in  
Ottawa, Canada, and involved competitors from all over the United States and  
Canada. 
 
The Burke School, which was founded by Theresa Burke in 1958, has a long  
tradition of excellence, with many champions at the regional, national and world  
levels.  In addition, the Burke School has always had a strong commitment  to 
the community of Cleveland and the surrounding suburbs. Burke dancers  
frequently perform at charitable events, schools, nursing homes and  international 
festivals.  The Burke School operates in Cleveland,  Youngstown, and 
Pittsburgh.  In 1965, Theresa Burke became the first North  American woman, and the 
second North American overall, to receive her  certification for teaching and 
adjudicating traditional Irish step  dancing.  A 2005 inductee into the North 
American Irish Dance Teacher Hall  of Fame, she has taught numerous regional, 
national, and world qualifiers and  champions.
