KILLER FEIS WIGS

I'M SCARED OF THOSE FEIS WIGS THE GIRLS WEAR. I THINK THEY'RE SYMBIANT PARASITES FROM OUTERSPACE THAT ROOT INTO THE BRAIN, MAKING THE HOST EVIL AND UNDER THEIR CONTROL. I FEAR THEY HOPE TO TAKE OVER THE WORLD AND ENSLAVE US ALL. I KNOW A GIRL IN MY DANCE GROUP WHO, EVERY TIME SHE PUTS HER'S ON, SHE INCREASES IN STRENGTH AND GETS MEAN AND PUSHES ME AROUND. THE OTHER DAY, SHE WAS WEARING THAT WIG AND SHE KNOCKED ME DOWN AND TOOK MY WALLET AND SAID IF I TOLD ANYBODY, NEXT TIME, SHE'D BREAK ONE OF… Continue

Back from Munich

As forecast, it was very frustrating watching everybody dance and not be able to compete but I still had a good time filming and helping out everybody from my school, especially people with not much experience of feisianna.

I saw some great dancers and was again happy to see the team spirit of our school. Everybody is so supportive of everybody else, from the youngest child to the oldest adult, from the beginners to the more experienced dancers and not forgetting the…

Workshop with David Moore!!

Today concluded the 5 day irish dance workshop with World Champion David Moore here in Darwin Australia.



It was really good to hear what technique needs to be improved on and such, because unlike everywhere else in australia there are no feis or other competitions here. Except of coure for the Annual Eisteddford, but even then the adjudicators are not trained in irish dancing.





We learnt a fair few Ceili, including the 8 hand jig, The gates of Dery and… Continue

Yes!

Mutti let me put an actual picture of myself on here. Mind you its only my feet but for me thats a giant step towards independance. For me nothing much important has happened in the world of Irish dance. The only interesting thing that has happened this week is I found this:

and my teacher jacked my book, that I'm writing, during math class because I was writing and I had to get this idea down before I did anything…

Definitely not dancing in Munich

I saw the sports doctor yesterday and she said no dancing for 4 to 6 weeks. And that's just dancing!!! Who knows when I'll be able to compete again??? I'm so bummed and disappointed not to be able to dance in Munich, I was so looking forward to it! So instead of dancing, I'll have an ultrasound check of my leg and physiotheray, yea! :( It's going to be soooooooooooooo frustrating!!! Argh!!!

Invite your music-playing, story-telling, singing, writing friends!

Hi everyone,

You might know that we recently launched Music.Diddlyi.com. We had long been wondering how to cater for all those who are passionate about Irish Tradition and Performing Arts. We know that Musicians, Storytellers, Singers and more, would make Diddlyi even better than before.

We also realised that there was something special that was helping the Diddlyi community to grow so quickly. We believe that this is a real…

Brighton was fab.

Hello everyone. Brighton was great - the pier, the rock, the beach, the fresh air, the shops, the chocolate and of course the feis. I didn't place but had fun!

BTW, I have a dress for sale. It would fit an average 12 year old, and is shimmery green, pink and gold. Knickers and headband also included. £500.00 ono. If anyone's interested in buying it, then please leave a comment and I'll get to you as soon as possible, with more info and pics. Thanks :-)

No improvement on the torn muscle front...

I have an appointment to see a sport doctor on the 19th. I hope she can do something for me but it looks less and less like I'm going to be able to dance in Munich...
