The 9y & 10y sections have almost completed dancing

In the beginners and intermediate sections, there are only three or four dancers per section and they are on stage so quickly it is difficult to photograph them!

In the Premiership sections there are up to ten dancers

They are now dancing the 10y and over elementary

There are only about three dancers in each section so they are progressing through them quickly.

9years & over marshalling

Welcome to Sunday at the Feile Tir An Oir

Today we will dance sections up to the 12 years age group, and they are starting soon with the 9 years and 10 years.

I m happy to report that the canteen is operating at full steam, selling home made scones amongst other delicacies. And they really are home made, they are made by Kathryn Trenholme's mother!

Wonderful dancing, the adjudicator gave each dancer comments on their performance, and that is very helpful as we approach the state championships.

Beautiful dancing!

The older dancers have been lovely this evening. So strong and dainty at the same time to quote a mum!

This moderator has a new found appreciation of the senior ladies. As my own child is getting a little older I now understand a little more the difficulties senior dancers have endured to keep dancing.
