Injuries. Stress. Frustration. I feel like I need to write to help those who are feeling some of the above. Those who feel these keenly are often those who work the hardest. You practice hard, dance full-out every time, and rarely give yourself a break. The first few steps in the morning hurt.

The first in a series, Kaylee’s Choice will appeal to those who have already fallen in love with Irish dancing, and those who have never before heard of it.

I’ve made a decision to eventually go for TRCG certification. I won’t be doing it too soon since I love competing and have a lot of Feiseanna and Oireachtas I’d like to do first.

I had a wonderful weekend dancing in a show with The Shelley Irish Dance Company. We were asked to perform with a few different tap, clog and flamenco dance groups in a percussive dance concert called Soundsations.

How did you first become interested in Irish dancing?
My mom wanted me to get into highland dancing when I was three but there wasn’t a school around so she signed me up for Irish instead.
How long have you been dancing?
I danced for a couple years when I was little but then stopped for about ten years. I’ve now been dancing for 6 years.
