Shamrock Troupe at Gilmore Gardens














The Shamrock Troupe performed to a very appreciative audience at Gilmore Gardens in Richmond yesterday. At the end of the dance performance, they walked amongst the residents and answered their many questions about the red dresses, shoes, practising, competitions and other aspects of Irish dance.

We heard later from the Gilmore staff that this personal interaction was a very significant highlight for the residents. Thanks girls for doing such a wonderful job of representing NPIDA so graciously!

Dancers at this performance were (top photo, left to right): Back row: Shelby, Jessie and Shannon. Middle row: Lauren, Mikaela, Alex and Hanna. Front row: Emma S and Josie S.

Other notes about these photos:

#3: Thanks Lauren for helping to tie many shoelaces and pin lots of sashes throughout the day!

#8: Emma and Josie checking out the cape of Mikaela's dress. (I'm pretty sure I overheard them happily speculating about when they will have a red dress...)
