Erin's Solo Dancing Day

Hello Everyone,

It is now Saturday night in Dublin.  We had a wonderfully exhausting day.  Today was Erin’s solo day and it began by 7:00 a.m.  Up early for hair and make-up and a nice breakfast. 

Then, onto the dancing.  First round at 10:00, second round at 12:00.  We had to wait at that time to see if Erin got a recall.  That means that she was invited back to dance again.  She did get the recall and her first recall was at 4:00 for her heavy shoe.  She was also very lucky to get the second recall and she dance it at 5:00 for her light, soft shoe.  Erin also got the final set recall, which means that she dances her set piece.  A set piece is a special dance, it is kind of like your personal show piece.  She dance that at 6:00.  We are very fortunate and we are thrilled that Erin was able to dance all day long.  She did very well.

Our day ended with an awards ceremony and then some pictures and celebrating.  Erin got 22^nd in the hard show recall.  She got 9^th in the soft shoe recall and she placed 26^th overall at her first All-Irelands.  Wow!!!!!

We look forward to tomorrow.  Sunday is Shannon’s solo day.

Enjoy some pictures.
