The St Patrick's Day season will be here before you know it, so just a few reminders--
Dancers will not be allowed to perform without shoes, either ballet shoes or Irish
ghillies.
Dancers must confirm their attendance at an event.  No unconfirmed attendees will be
allowed to perform.

Please remember, not all performances are open to all dancers, for a variety of
reasons.  All dancers will have an opportunity to perform at least once during the
St Patrick's Day season.

Here is a tentative list of performances open to dancers at all levels.  All of these
performances are confirmed.  More information can be found on the
Performance page
of the website.

St Patrick's Day FoyWear is now available. Info and samples photos are available on the

Gaelic Park is again offering their student cultural essay scholarship. This is a great
opportunity for interested students.  There are two categories, 6-8 grade and high
school.  More information can be found on the website.  Good luck to those who enter!


The Winter Hooley is being held in Des Moines on Saturday, February 25.  This is a
