Sandra and Noel beat off all the competition with their excellent Jive rendition of “Runaway Baby” by Bruno Mars to take the top spot.

The team at Ozanam House would like to thank all those who helped make Ozanam Come Dancing 2022 a success: our sponsors; services, goods and prizes supporters; staff; volunteers; venue; support act; audience and donors; judges and host.

Most of all we thank our brilliant dancers who generously and courageously gave their, time and energy to make the show a success. It is only with their dedication that the show goes on!

More to follow.

Maeve
My name is Maeve Gaffney. I am involved with the Ozanam House through volunteering with the Trinity College Saint Vincent de Paul Society. I am a Biomedical Sciences student. I also work part-time for Triton Property Ventures. I have always enjoyed dancing. In the past, I did Ballet, Tap, and a little Salsa. I am excited that my friends from college encouraged me to participate in the Ozanam Coming Dancing competition. I hope my partner Lauren and I can dance our way through the Charleston and raise funds for the Ozanam House without getting stage fright.

Lauren
My name is Lauren and I’m ‘Legally Blonde’: a bubbly, energetic law student studying in Trinity College Dublin, desperate to escape the library and eager to return to the world of showbiz. Prior to the pandemic, I danced Music Theatre, Ballet and even Hip Hop/Breakdancing! It’s time to put back on my dance shoes, embrace a new adventure and put down my law textbooks, momentarily.

My involvement with SVP has been lifelong but it has deepened through my involvement in Trinity SVP. In particular, I love to volunteer my time with the Street Outreach Initiative. I look forward to further increasing my involvement this year.

Maeve and I are the blonde best friends you need to keep an eye out for! Double trouble! But blondes really do have more fun!

Joanna
I am an Office Administrator with a great passion for community development projects.

I was involved with youth work around Sherriff Street, worked for Dublin City Council Summer Camps and volunteered for Irish Cancer Society. I witnessed a great deal of grass root community projects led and completed by the St Vincent de Paul and I feel proud and privileged to be a part of the Ozanam Come Dancing event.

I’ve always had a passion for dancing and since January 2022 I have, along with my partner Nigel, been taking Ballroom Dance classes. I can’t wait to put on my red dancing shoes and raise as much funds as possible.

Nigel
I am a Database Administrator currently with AXA Insurance Ireland, previously with the likes of the HSE, AIB and other large organisations. My involvement with community projects has been in supporting Joanna in her many endeavours in this field.

Prior to January this year, my dancing expertise had been solely (and reluctantly) moving from left to right (and back again) on the dance floor, normally from half way into a song once I’ve been persuaded to get up and ‘dance’.

I’ve been extremely impressed by what I’ve seen and heard about Ozanam House and am proud to make my small, but hopefully sizeable, contribution.
