Yes I know , my girl is going to show me up... how do these kids know exactly what to do? It will be a learning experience but I know we will get through it together.

Sisters from the Beginning ~ Soeur à partir du Commencement

Sisters...from the beginning have been there to support each other with lots of love and admiration. Their friendship has grown through the years, and Irish Dancing is how they learned to support each other the most.

Les soeurs ... à partir du commencement ont se dû là soutenir avec beaucoup d'amour et d'admiration. Leur amitié a grandi toutes les années et la Danse irlandaise est comment ils ont appris à se soutenir le plus.

Training ~ Entrainement

There are 31 days till I leave for Ireland. My dance classes have started and now I am dancing 4 days a week, 2 days in Richmond and 2 days in North Vancouver. I am also doing a strength and balance training program that I learned from Scott Hebert from Excel Fitness. Scott has given the NPIDA Dancers a program to help us loosen our muscles, it has balance exercises, skipping, core strengthening exercises and stretching. I like the skipping the best! Thanks Scott I know this will really help me.
