SEAVILLE – Eleven-year-old Maggie Halbruner of this community is practicing her Irish jig, but not for the obvious reason of St. Patrick’s Day.
Halbruner is a championship-level Irish dance competitor and has qualified to compete in the World Irish Dance Association (WIDA) World Championships.

Hundreds from all over the globe, including Cape May County’s own, will be competing March 31 through April 3 at the Brighton Centre hoping to be named a world champion.
