Nora suggested a blog feature about our four 2014 Western Canadian Champions (Sage, Caitlin, Macaela and Mackenzie), and posed the following five questions to each of them:
1. How do you achieve 1st place in the Oireachtas?
2. How did it feel to win?
3. Who celebrated your win with you?
4. Where would you like to go with your dance goals from here?
5. Everyone at NPIDA is very proud of you (instructors, staff and dancers alike). How does that make you feel?

Today we are featuring MACAELA B-T, who won the U-14 age category at the 2014 Oireachtas. Macaela also placed 9th at the 2014 North American Championships, and 44th at the 2014 World Championships.
1. How do you achieve 1st place in the Oireachtas?
By working really hard, drilling at home and by making sure I use my class time well.
2. How did it feel to win?
Good, it felt great to know that my hard work paid off and to be in the top 3 with my best friends.
3. Who celebrated your win with you?
My family & friends ...as a school some of us got to hang out afterwards, kids and parents.
4. Where would you like to go with your dance goals from here?
I will be going to the All Scotland’s in February to help me prepare for the World Championships.
5. Everyone at NPIDA is very proud of you (instructors, staff and dancers alike). How does that make you feel?
It makes me feel good, to know that so many people support me.
CONGRATULATIONS MACAELA!
