NPIDA Irish and Karate Summer Camp

Thank you to Nora for submitting these NPIDA summer camp photos taken last week. At the end of the week the participants received certificates for their belt stripes.

Nora says: I thoroughly enjoyed my big week with Nicole and our 14 Karate and Irish Dance Summer Camp kids at our North Van Studio this week! Nicole, Carrie, Catharine and I kept them VERY busy with loads of activities and well fed! Thanks for all the great fun, enthusiasm and laughs! All the Karate/Irish Dance Summer Camp Kids say a huge THANK YOU to Carrie for all her help!

Coming later today: Christina's photos from the Saturday shows at Lonsdale. On Tuesday I will post some of my photos from the Sunday shows at the Steveston docks.

Thank you to Nora for submitting these photos taken at the North Vancouver summer classes for Championship dancers this past week.

Nora says: Yes! Courtney, Linda, Courtney's Oma and baby Jeremy paid a special visit to our studio in North Van! The dancers all enjoyed meeting him and having Courtney back for a few hours of teaching! Special moments for all of us! Thanks Courtney for sharing and for making the big journey out to see everyone during our North Van Summer Camp week!

Great work this week everyone! Thank you to Ashley and Anita for the amazing yoga classes this week too!

Baby Love!

NPIDA had some baby love this week!

Nora says: We had some very special visitors surprise us today at the Richmond Summer Camps! Courtney, Baby Jeremy, Courtney's Mom Linda and Courtney's Oma all came to see us! Jeremy is so adorable and brought great big smiles to everyone's faces today! Courtney of course had the biggest smile of all while she shared her little miracle with all of us! Thanks for visiting today and congrats Courtney for teaching just less than a month after Jeremy was born! We're thrilled to have you back as Mommy Nollert!
