Thank you to Courtney for sending the above photos and this note from Belfast tonight:
It was a great weekend of dancing for the 4 dancers, Tomas, Shannon, Macaela and Jessie. Unfortunately no recalls but all 4 dancers made NPIDA proud by each giving 2 strong performances on the World's stage. The calibre of dancing was outstanding and I am so proud of the dancers for their hard work to get to where they are! All the dancers were lucky enough to get to warm up before their rounds with Liam, who was able to give them some last minute pointers and feedback to take to the stage!
All in all a wonderful 2 days of dancing, watching dancing, and spending time with friends! Oh and stalking Irish dance celebrities; Brogan, Julia, and John were like Hollywood movie stars!! In a word this is what each dancer thought of the 2012 World Irish Dance Championships:
Shannon: "Eye-opening"
Jessie: "Achievement"
Macaela: "Imagine"
Tomas: "Inspiring"
And I am very very "proud".
Way to go Shannon, Jessie, Macaela, and Tomas! You have made NPIDA so proud with all your hard work! Good luck Stephanie!
