Welcome to Fabulous Friday at the Nationals 2012

Melbourne has arrived in Adelaide!!

Or at least the Melbourne weather has.  Cold, wet and possibly windy, perfect weather for everyone to be inside watching an Irish Dancing competition :)

Today is a mix of the senior dancers and teams - as luck would have it, on different stages in different halls at different times!  With the seniors being the largest section at Nationals, today will be a feast of dancing from the most experienced dancers in Australia.  It would be a great day for the younger dancers to come to watch.

And given that tonight is the Black & White Ball at which many/most of the senior dancers will be relaxing, today is the day to see them at their best, not tomorrow morning :)

So, stay tuned for the Dancing Pandas at 0815CST and enjoy the day on the AIDA Facebook page http://www.facebook.com/AIDAInc and YouTube http://www.youtube.com/AIDAinc and Twitter feed @_AIDAInc
