Don't forget to email me your St Patrick's Day performance participation list.
If you did not receive a listing of the performances you can check the Performance
page of the website. Performances listed as ALL DANCERS, ALL LEVELS are open to
everyone.
A few things you need to remember:
GENERAL--
All dancers participating in peformances must have dance shoes (either ballet or
ghillies). Not all performances are open to all dancers for a variety of reasons,
including, but not limited to: venue size, booker's request, performance time, dance
level.
PERFORMANCE ETIQUETTE--
Arrive on time,Remain in designated area until performance time, keep noise to a
minimum, listen to the show leader if I or an assistant are not in attendance, clean the
waiting area before you leave, DO NOT arrive at a performance for which you have not
RSVP'd. You will not be allowed to perform if your name is not on the dancer roster,
especially if I am not there!!!
We will be participating in the Chicago St Patrick's Day parade on Sat Mar 13. Keep
your fingers crossed for a good number! It will be posted on the website, along with
other pertinent info as soon as it becomes available.
Mark your calendars for August 7, 2010. That is the date of the 1st Annual Two Rivers
Feile in DesMoines, IA. Although Iowa Irish Inc is sponsoring the feis, we will be an
important part of it. Volunteers (and dancers) will be needed. Visit the Irish Inc website
at: www.irishinc.org for additional information. The feis website will be up and working
soon. Registration will be at www.feisworx.com.
The committee has been working very hard and implementing some very exciting
ideas,including an onsite concert after the feis!
Iowa Irish Inc and the Two Rivers Feile are not-for-profit organizations registered with
the state of Iowa. If you know anyone who would be interested in making a donation or
providing a sponsorship contact the feis chairpersons--tworiverschair@q.com and
kelly@foyirishdancers.com
There will be no classes in Chicago Wed Mar 10, Fri Mar 12, Wed Mar 17 and
Fri Mar 20 due to performances.
Please note during the St Patrick's Day season additional classes may be scheduled
and some classes may be cancelled due to performances.
Finally, Happy St Patrick's Day Everyone!!!
