I lifted this photo from Christine and Macaela's blog "Get Jiggy with Mac" - don't forget to check out their blog for daily updates from Ireland! Nora has also now arrived in Dublin, and Camryn, Mackenzie, Jessie and Macaela had a dance practise with her this afternoon.

Camryn, Jessie and Macaela will all be dancing this Sunday, the first day of competition at the 2011 World Championships. Please leave lots of good luck wishes for them here in the comments section, or on Macaela's blog! (Remember, they are 8 hours ahead of BC time).
