Many thanks to the NPIDA parents who took time to submit photos from Eire Born shows during my absence. There were over 100 photo submissions from 5 shows; I will post them in date order over the next few days, beginning with the Lonsdale Quay show on August 27 (above). Thank you to Gillian (photos #1-7) and Leanne (photos #8-14) for these photos!

In the interest of getting "caught up" as soon as possible, I will not be labelling every single photo with the names of each dancer; particularly in larger group shots and photos where I am not certain of all of the dancers names. Thank you for understanding.

As a reminder; when submitting photos:
Unless you are certain that I know all the dancers in your photos, please label your photos with the dancers names (or attach a brief list in an accompanying e-mail). We are a large and growing school and I do not know 100% of the dancers names and faces; especially some of the younger dancers. Even for those I do know, it is often hard to discern "who's who" in Eire Born photos!

Where possible,  I would like to reduce the frequency of having to reply to photo submission e-mails with an inquiry about names. Your efforts in this regard will be greatly appreciated; thank you ! Special thanks to those of you who already normally label your photos and patiently answer my queries :) Tomorrow: August 28 dock photos.

Welcome back to the blog! Above are all the photos submitted to the 1st Annual NPIDA Summer Jump Photo Contest. A big thank you to the 9 dancers and parents who participated ! As mentioned previously, this is not a "judged" contest; all the entrants had their name entered in a random draw for a small prize (see below). Thanks for sharing your summer memories with us !

All entrants, whether they submitted 1 photo or 2, had their name entered in a random draw for a little prize (direct from Ireland!) Congratulations Kyla! I'll make sure to get your prize delivered this week.

9 names into the hat... and the winner is: KYLA!

Over the next few days I will be working on uploading photos submitted from the final 2 dock shows, the PNE show, and the Lonsdale shows. Thank you for your patience!
