Shakin' Our Shamrocks


Look at that awesome toe point on Irish dancer girl!  We are finally finished with what we lovingly refer to in Irish dance as "March Madness"! Whew!  As you might imagine, Irish dancers are pretty popular come March.  We've just completed our two week tour of performances all over Tucson.  We wrapped up the season yesterday with a viewing of the movie "Lord of the Dance 3D". 
Here's a little peek at what we've been doing!


Cat with Brandon Mull, author of the fabulous "Fablehaven" series of books! We met him after her performance at the Festival of Books! What a nice guy! (and if you haven't read this series, do it!  It's fantastic!)


Parade Prep on the firetruck for the St. Patrick's Day Festival and Parade...





Taking a bow at Pima College's St. Patrick's Day celebration...



And here's a little video of Irish dancer girl in action!  The stage floor was super slippery, but she still managed to knock out some great dancing! 


Have a wonderful week!
