Worlds Update From Nora - Wednesday

I received an update from Nora at midnight Tuesday, which is 8:00AM Wednesday morning in Dublin! Here's what she had to say about Mackenzie's experience at Worlds, and Ellen's upcoming big day today:

Mackenzie had a great day! She looked absolutely beautiful after Rebecca and Fred did her hair and make up for her performance on stage in Dublin at Worlds! She warmed up really well, then she went backstage with the 1st group of ladies aged 14-15. Mackenzie's group was outstanding but she definitely looked like she belonged as she danced an amazing, powerful hornpipe! When she came down from the stage she felt good about it, and then she got very excited to do her reel for her 2nd round.

Her reel was spectacular as she soared across the massive stage with her trademark massive jumps! I felt very proud of her performance today and an Irish dance teacher from Donegal even made a comment to me that she was an amazing dancer on stage for her reel! Mackenzie was thrilled when I passed on the compliments to her! Unfortunately she did not recall despite her effort, great preparation and determination. I am so proud of you Mackenzie and your dancing has clearly improved so much this year!

At 11am Dublin time Ellen arrived on Tuesday and she had a pretty shocked look on her face when she saw the calibre of dancing! She is happy to be here and VERY excited! Stay tuned for an update on Ellen's big day on Wednesday!
