What is your absolute best memory of your Irish Dance career? I have many amazing dancing memories over the years, from winning Ceili and Figure titles at the World Championships, to winning our Oireachtas and placing on the podium two years in a row at the All Ireland and World Championships.
But one memory I love would have to be when my school did our production of The Wizard of Oz. During all of the rehearsals, there were so many laughs, and this was the time we could have our fun. Doing our shows gives us such a different view of dance. We combine acting and dancing to make one amazing production. Rehearsals do get stressful sometimes because the productions are very fast paced and professional. Our teachers expect us to be our very best. But, when you walk on the stage for the actual show, all your hard work pays off and the experience is so exhilarating!
ONE LUCKY WINNER will work with the sought after costume designer - Carl Kennedy!
