    Davydd McDonald is an 18 year old on a mission. After starting up dancing less than 3 years ago; Davydd has already notched up a State Championship title under his belt (1998 State Championships - Junior Mens division) and is now the headline male dancer in the Brisbane created show, "Dance of the Celts". Now working full-time as a Library Assistant at a Brisbane primary school; he fits in dancing and assisting at the Crocker School of Irish Dance around his busy work schedule.

    Happy to oblige in filling out his info sheet, Davydd came up with some pretty amusing responses; some of which I won't repeat on this page!! May I just point out that for once the lengthy time it has taken for this profile to be presented is not my fault. (These Brissie dancers seem to have a patent on loosing things!!).
