The birthday boy gets tossed around...

The annual NPIDA Summer Dance Camp took place at the ballroom in Richmond this past week (next week the camp will take place in North Van). Dancers from Pre-Beginner to Open Championship attended daily classes each day during the week. Thank you to Gillian S for these photos of the Championship dancers yesterday in Richmond. It was also Tomas's birthday so the dancers gave him "the bumps".

Video Clip from CeltFest Camp

Please see my July 27/11 post for more background about this video. Several NPIDA dancers attended the CeltFest Camp in Nanaimo last month, and they performed this skit/dance one evening. It is based on a number that was performed at the NPIDA Ceili several years ago by the senior Richmond girls. NPIDA dancers in this video: Katelyn, Mackenzie, Camryn, Emma and Jayne, along with Stephanie as the "feis stage monitor". Thank you for the funny entertainment girls, and thanks to Andrea for submitting this video!
