Lots of fog and humidity in the air
Pretty to look at, but not good for dancing! |
The weather played havoc with confirmation of the Eire Born performance at Kitsilano Showboat last evening. Many thanks to the dancers and parents who accommodated much uncertainty throughout the day and still made it out to the show at a revised (later) time last night! Specifically a huge thank you to
Olivia (team co-captain), Jayne (team co-captain), Sarah, Katelyn, Anna, Jadyn, Macaela, Caitlin, Emma, Reese, Alexis, Holly and Julie and their parents, and our sound team Pat, Vic and Jennifer!
Upon arrival, the stage floor was wet and our performance was dubious for safety reasons. However, thanks to much patience and a bit of sun shining through, followed by a fantastic team effort from our parents and many audience members, 1-1/2 hours later the floor was finally deemed dry enough for Eire Born to perform.
For privacy reasons, I don't normally post photos here that include non-NPIDA people, but I wanted to acknowledge the generous and spontaneous display of community spirit when the Kitsilano Showboat manager requested assistance from the audience in drying the floor. People gathered towels and various other personal items (reportedly even dry diapers ?!) and sprang into action to dry the stage floor in order for our dancers to have a safe surface to perform on:

Below are some photos of our dancers in action. Please check back tomorrow evening for some additional photos from the final couple of dances.
