How you practice in class… How you push in that last step or walk it… How you hold your posture in our let those arms fly… How you nail that rhythm piece or brush it… How you dance with confidence or go through the motions… That is how you will dance onstage. Dance each step, drill, piece, full dance like you are onstage at the Worlds Demand that excellence is a habit.

Confession
imaglutenforpunishment:
I think I like the dresses in Mainland Europe the most. They’re so beautiful and elegant even their school dresses. They’re not over done
I think the secret is that a huge part of those dresses is homemade or is made by small designers/skilled friends which allows us to put a lot of our own ideas into it. Also the cult of the brands is not as strong here, it...

Why does almost every country involved in ID have their own nationals except for the US? I wish we had an irish nationals type of thing, I think it’d be so great
Hahahahaha try living in mainland Europe.

The Reality of the BA Irish Music and Dance
winning-london:
There was a post circulating around yesterday about the BA Irish Music and Dance with lots of comments about everyone’s dreams about having ‘treble jig finals’ or answers from study abroad students with what they perceive the course to be based on their limited interaction with it.
I’d like to share with everyone with what the course is really like, speaking as a dancer of the...

My friend has a really dark shade of red from them and it’s lovely!

Is it worth pushing? I really really wanted to do at least one intermediate dance in Prague. Actually I was kinda preparing to do either reel or slip jig and traditional set. Now, I haven’t practised much these dances lately and I am not sure about it anymore. And the buttload of school work is…

Anonymous asked: You're so inspiring! I compare myself to YOU attitude wise - you always have a good attitude about everything and that inspires me to stop bitching and start dancing :-) so while you may feel bad comparing yourself to others ... know that I compare myself to you :D

That damned hornpipe sounds alright on the video but I can’t bloody hear it!
Why can’t I hear it right when I dance it??? What is this???
I need to be absolutely sure I do it right and I hear just a lot of random noise!
Is that the floor, is that the echo of the walls or is that me being so sure I am doing something wrong that I have auditory halucinations?!
WTF????

I wish I could stop time in that period so I can stop aging any further and prevent the competitions I need to attend to from happening.
I would like to introduce you to the following article: Summer Strength Training: Dance Less, Dance Better
Of course, most Irish dancing competitions are in the summer. Of. Course.
thank you
