Dancers,
I had such a wonderful time at Molly Brooke's tonight. It was quite an amazing time - to turn the pub into Ireland, just for a short time. It was bloody fantastic. Thank you all for coming.
If anyone wants to dance next week, Liam's Fancy will be playing at McCarthy's on Thursday night (October 15). I'd love to make our ceili dancing a weekly thing - it truly is making an impression on the fledging Irish diaspora community here in Central Kentucky. Hopefully our adult classes will continue to grow.........
See you all on Tuesday. Thanks for a fabulous night.
Videos for the week:
Here is the ceili dance known as "The Three Tunes," performed by a competitive team from what appears to be the Claddagh School in California. (The girls are in dresses that I believe are the Claddagh School "school dresses" or uniforms).

Here is the same school performing their figure (choreography) at the World Championships 2009 in Philadelphia. It's rather beautiful and incredible. I hope you enjoy it!

I'm jumping in with a comment just for the heckuvit! It was a fantastic evening, and such a confirmation of how much we have learned... Wouldn't ever have thought that I'd be dancing Irish dance "in public" in a pub (was that a redundancy?) after just a few weeks of doing this. The credit is yours, Allison, for being such a fantastic instructor! Thank you again and again. And the rest of ya: What a fun bunch of women you are. Thanks to you, too.
