Julie Murray Academy of Irish Dance

Well done Alesha at St Ninians Feis last weekend 👏. I know how nervous you were about stepping onto stage and out of your comfort zone but I am proud of you! Keep it up 💜

Well done Erica, Georgia, Mirren, Eva and Madison at the weekend flying the flag in Under 10 and 11 age groups! Sorry didn’t get a picture of Madison but well done on your prelim result 👏. Special mention to Mirren moving into open for her reel - second feis in a row pushing into open! Well done girls, keep it up 💜

Our Under 6 and 7 superstars at St Ninians Feis today 🤩 Well done Holly, Orlagh Grace, Sophia and Cadhla! Special shout out to Sophia and Cadhla dancing their first feis with no help on stage! Cadhla dancing in U6 at only three years old and loving every second 🥰 💜

The very first recipient of the Jean Scott Memorial Trophy 🏆

A trophy in memory of my gran — the one who helped spark my love for Irish dancing.

This award is not for the “best” dancer as such, but for someone who dances with heart, joy, determination, and love for what they do.

This year, that dancer was Mirren Hogg ✨ I am so proud of you.

It’s funny to think that one decision to take a little girl to dancing classes all those years ago created a ripple effect that led to moments like this ❤️ 💜

Special dedicated shout out and celebration of these incredible nine women who continue to push themselves out their comfort zone and trust me along the way! Also delighted we finally got out the group chat and had the night out we had planned since Christmas 2024 😂 💜

JMA Class Feis - May 2026 💜☘️

A million thank you’s!

I have so many thank yous and appreciation to share following our first class feis yesterday. Due to the amazing support for the school we were able to provide the class feis with no entry fee for our dancers, making it fair and accessible to every one in the class 🙌🏻

I am so grateful to each and every person who made yesterday possible!
- Ryan Gibbons for sponsoring our AMAZING perpetual trophies and branded trophies 🏆
- Stephen Hogg for our incredible class podium - was such a big hit with the kids and we are so grateful for the time and effort you put into these 💪
- Our fantastic judge - Rory Patrick. Amazing to have you there for our first ✍🏽
- Nicola, Vicki, Irene and our other parents for helping organise and set up and the running of the day 👏
- Lyndsay, Sophie and Eilidh for keeping me sane on the day and in the lead up 🤣

A hell of a lot more thank you’s to come….

💜
