Saying goodbye to Sophie and celebrating an amazing summer of dock shows!! I am incredibly proud of all our girls, their families and Pat and Vic alike for coming together as a strong and supportive community! All our dancers performed so well and actually improved their dancing throughout August! Way to go team Eire Born and guests! I'm so impressed!
