Ceili DVD Order Deadline is May 29!


Cheryl would like to remind everyone that the deadline to order your DVD from the 2015 Ceili (at Kay Meek Theatre on May 3) is next Friday May 29. This is a 2-disk set and includes the entire Ceili performance as well as the 2015 slide show!

The cost is still only $20 with proceeds going to EBIDS. The DVD makes a great keepsake for your child's progress in Irish Dance at NPIDA! Cheryl plans to have the DVD's ready before dance classes end for this year.

You can get your order form from Carrie at the North Vancouver studio or Mikaela at the Richmond studio. Payment must be made at the time of your order; cash or cheque (please make cheques payable to EBIDS). Don't miss your chance to order this keepsake!
