Preparing for Oireachtas

I'm preparing for Oireachtas! It's in a month, I find that very soon. I actually am kind of nervous, usually I'm not nervous for feises.
Also, my dress for Oireachtas came! It's very pretty. We already had the sleepover and we got our Oireachtas Jackets. They're really cool.
Anway, I'll update on Oireachtas training again!

Oireachtas Camp

These last two days I had Oireachtas Camp since I didn't have school (it was MEA). It was fun, we danced a whole ton, did crafts, ate good food, and had a mock Oireachtas! It was tiring now, I can barely move! :(
Next weekend we have an Oireachtas Sleepover! I'm excited for that too.....

The Minnesota Feis

Irish Fair-August 2009

Yesterday was the Minnesota Feis! A Feis is an irish dance competition. I did pretty good.
Here's what I got:

Reel: 5th
Slip Jig: nothing
Treble Jig: 3rd
Hornpipe: 1st!

In irish dance, you do multiple dances. The Reel, Slip Jig, Treble Jig, and Hornpipe are all different dances with different tempos! The Reel and Slip Jig are soft shoe dances (no sound) and the Treble Jig and Hornpipe are hard shoe dances (like a tap shoe).

My 1st in the Hornpipe is brought me one step closer to PC. (prelim Championship) All I need now is the Slip Jig..........(I won my Reel and Treble Jig before)
