Sunday in Dublin - Update from Nora

Olivia, Anna and Nora

Jennifer and Leanne

Thank you to Nora who sent these photos and the following update from Dublin on Sunday evening (early Monday morning in Ireland!)

"Last night we had a lovely dinner together to celebrate Caitlin and Jadyn's 1st All Ireland Championships! Lots of fun and once again, I'm so proud of both Caitlin and Jadyn's achievements! Congratulations girls! This morning I held a 1.5 hour practice session on the All Ireland's practice stage for Olivia and Anna. They got to shake off their jet lag while other amazing World calibre Irish dancers flew around them on the same small practice stage! What an experience!! Anna and Olivia said they found it intimidating but also very awe-inspiring!

I enjoyed watching some truly fantastic solo and Ceili dancing today after the practice session, and then we had a lovely dinner out together!  One more day to practice tomorrow and to get over jet lag, then it's our 2nd big competition day here in Dublin for NPIDA dancers Anna and Olivia! More updates to come tomorrow!"
