Hello all
Sorry I haven't been posting since the feis. As most of you know I was able to spend a large part of the summer with my family in Connecticut and Rhode Island. It was a month filled with sun, surf, fishing, and baseball games. Dad and I also visited the Norman Rockwell museum and Daniel Chester French (Lincoln Memorial) sculpture studio and gardens. We caught a bunch of fish and ate many of them, some trout from small Connecticut streams and some black bass from a charter fishing trip. (no stripers or bluefish this time)
I've also been to Ireland for another commission trip and Tuscon for a regional meeting!! Lots of travel and fun (I'm now 1K with United!!)
We had a wonderful workshop with Ryan McCaffrey. He taught many new steps that will challenge the dancers and give them an extra boost going into the Oireachtas!! Carin Gayle and I also had a fun time showing Ryan Seattle's nightlife! I am 99% sure that he will be back for a refresher just before the Oireachtas!!
We are back to classes and getting ready for the two Portland feiseanna and the Oireachtas in AZ. I am pleased to see so many dancers back to class this year, and many new faces too! I hope you are all doing your drills with the line on the floor, it will really help. We have 5 teams working hard to get ready to go to the Oireachtas! I am very impressed with the teams this year. They are a bunch of hard working dancers and very focused on doing well at the Oireachtas. We will be meeting six more times at least and will be kicking some bum in November.
That's all for now. I will be off to Ireland again the first weekend of October, and then no travelling until the first of the year.
I look forward to a year of dance filled with fun, excitement and success!!
