Most people don't know this, because I kind of tend to let information slip through the cracks (totally unintentionally by the way), but Audrey has been taking Irish Step Dance since the beginning of January and she has absolutely loved it! She takes at a small studio here in Sandy which, according to the parade announcer (I'll get to the parade part in a sec), has the most 'champions' out of all the schools in the area. So we've had a blast getting to know the world of Irish Dance which is surprisingly different than the dance world I'm used to.
We found out a few weeks ago that Audrey would have the opportunity to march in the St. Patrick's Day Parade here in downtown Salt Lake. She would also have the chance to perform in the Siamsa (dance performance) following the parade. It was so neat and a super fun tradition that I hope we can be a part of for many years.
Anyone who knows me knows that I am very proud of my Irish heritage and I've always wanted to learn Irish Step Dance. But while it's too late for me (at least to have it be a big part of my life) I'm glad that Audrey is enjoying it so much. And after the parade and Siamsa, Siobhan now wants to try it out and I think she'll really enjoy it as well. She actually didn't march as she's so tiny she would probably get trampled by a horse or something. So she rode on the school's float.
The theme for our school in the parade was something having to do with lads and ladies from Ireland around the turn of the century (the last century) but obviously a little duded up. This is what we came up with. I was determined to not buy anything for this costume so this is what we pulled from her closet.
Up close. She's so pretty. I don't know why she doesn't smile in pictures.
Audrey and one her fiends from class. This girl is actually in the 'new beginner' class and Audrey is a Tir Na Nog (the younger class) but they have class at the same time.
All the little ones that came for the parade hanging out on the float/truck.
I have a video of Audrey dancing, but it won't upload...does anyone know of a good way to upload a video to blogger? At the very least, I'll put it on facebook.
Unfortunately, this did not happen, but wouldn't that have been cool?
