With her hands by her side and her posture straight, freshman Sophia Stricker gets into position for her Irish tap dance routine. Stricker has been Irish dancing since she was a child, following her family’s Irish heritage. “Irish dancing originated from Irish folk dancing and over the years has become very competitive. Now it’s seen not just at parades during St. Patrick's Day but there's a whole competitive side to it, where dancers compete at qualifiers to get to the World Championship,” Stricker said.
