What A Day ☺️ We are beaming 🥰 A great way to celebrate our dance school here in Donegal Town! We were so delighted to welcome so many schools to our event and can’t thank everyone enough for their participation ☺️

A special word of thanks to our two adjudicators AnneMarie Higgins and Marie Main who were so kind and patient all day long. And another thank you to Karen Stenson for looking after the results for the event. We were blessed to have such a super team supporting us 🥰

And another huge thank you to the Bosco Community Centre for being everything we needed.

And finally GO TEAM SRTC 🥳🥳🥳🥳 Ruth and I can’t thank you all enough 😘😘 (can’t believe we didn’t get any photos of the troops in action 😂) We love you all # # #

We passed 🥳🥳

Continual professional development and professional exams are something that are completely normal in most careers, but perhaps not something people often associate with Irish dance 😅

This weekend, Ruth and I spent a fabulous day in Glasgow sitting further exams to continue developing our qualifications and bringing even more knowledge and experience back to our dancers.

As dancers ourselves, we never competed in Céilí dancing, so it has been wonderful to deepen our understanding of this aspect of Irish dance in recent years. Céilí dancing is such an important part of our heritage and culture, and we feel very proud to be part of the generation helping to steward, nurture, and preserve that tradition for the future😍

These exams are also another step on our own journey towards becoming adjudicators (the highest qualification within Irish dance) and every course, exam, and qualification we undertake is always with the same goal in mind: to enhance the experience, opportunities, and knowledge we can offer to our dancers and our community 💕

We are very proud to be continuing that journey💚

Now onto the Tir Chonaill Open Feis next weekend 🥳

And also a big well done to all the gang who danced in Dublin today too 🥳🥰

Fantastic results coming in from the CRG Ulster Championship in Larne today 🥰🥰
