Deacon Gibson, who began dancing at age 12 with the Cashel Dennehy School of Irish Dance in Milwaukee, was number one in the Midwest after winning the regional championship one year. During his eight-or nine-year dance career which ended when he was in college, he also placed in the top 10 in nationals and in the top 15 in world championships.
