St. Pat's Beg II   U7 6th out of 8 as she just learned the set!
Slip Jig Special Beg 1/2 U9 1st out 11. Very Promising! was the judges comment!
Also 1st place in the visual arts competition with the Fairy Reel and 2nd with me in the Parent/Child competition!

This was a rough feis for us. Well, more for me then Emma! I get more stressed out then she does! She had no classes for the month of July and one class Thursday and a semi-private on Friday! Emma is dancing at a feis in Worcester, MA next weekend so hopefully a few more classes and no dance friends to distract her will help her do a bit better!

Our school has just moved to a new location, a mile up the road and it has taken Michael Pat, his brother Barry John and loads of other parents helping out to get it ready for full classes. The flooring took the longest as BJ built a spring floor. I can't wait to dance on it tomorrow night!
