Back at it - returning to Oireachtas 2012 to compete as adults in ceilis

Congratulations Kerry! It is so fun to hear about your experience! Good luck at Nationals.

Kerry...congrats...so very well written...even though I was there for the whole event, reading your description of what you and all the girls experienced, I felt I was there again for the whole thing for the first time. You certainly have crafted an experience in words that has far exceeded the feelings of those of us who were the observers and had the privilege of watching all of you come together again to prepare for this event. All of you serve as an inspiration for all the younger dancers of today. You all embody the the joy of team spirit, cooperation, friendship and dedication that is sometimes lacking in the dancing world today. I know that is in a large part due to what your teacher, Patsy, has instilled in all of you over the years. She has never stressed the need to win at all costs, but the need to do your best always and be proud that you did. So again, be proud of yourselves and a BIG CONGRATS TO ALL OF YOU. Chris
