Day Two of the 42nd World Irish Dancing Championships held in Belfast and hosted by An Coimisiun le Rinci Gaelacha began with the youngest male Irish dance competitors.  Boys from around the globe aged 10-13 were delighted to meet up with old friends and make new ones, and families happily reunited for photo opportunities.  Meet 'n' Greets had been planned in advance with moms and sons working out details on message boards and Facebook's Moms to Reel Boys forum.
