Tickets Available for June 1 NAN's Event!


NPIDA has 38 dancers travelling to Anaheim California in early July to compete at the 2013 North American Championships ("NAN's"). A celebration will be held on Saturday June 1 at Ceili’s Irish Pub, downtown location (670 Smithe St, Vancouver). The time will be from 6:00pm to 11:00pm.

Tickets are $15 for adults (burger and beer) and $12 for minors (burger or chicken strips and fries and drink). Veggie burger option is also available. We have the roof top deck all to ourselves so it should be a fun night of dancing, eating and good times!

This event is being coordinated by EBIDS and is not a fund raiser for the Nationals dancers.

Ticket info

Given the limited number of tickets, up until May 20 tickets were only available to NAN's families and Open Championship dancers (NAN's qualifiers). There are some remaining tickets available and non-NANs families are most welcome to attend!.

To get your tickets please see Carrie at the studio in NVan or Christine at the ballroom in Richmond. You can also contact Andrea C, Gillian S or Christina M with any questions.


In other news, good luck to the 83 NPIDA dancers competing at the POD Feis in Surrey this weekend! The program is now available at www.feisworx.com
