Rose escorts a good mix

THEY’RE smart, good-looking, charming, well-educated and if they could only waltz, they’d be perfection itself.

Sadly, while the Rose of Tralee escorts score highly on just about every other admirable quality, they tend to veer more towards the flat-footed than the Flatley-footed when it comes to their dance-floor moves.

“I always have to get them together for a few lessons before the festival,” said escort co-ordinator Colm Croffy.
