Getting Into "Treble"
*with intensely irish*
Wow! Who can believe it’s almost September already! The summer has gone by so fast! And, considering that we take a break from regular lessons over the summer, Intensely Irish stayed quite busy! We finished off our regular dance season with our competitive season and year end show. This year Intensely Irish had two competition routines - a hardshoe small group called Siamsa and a spy-inspred softshoe duet called Dublin-O-7. Over the course of the 2018 competitive season, our dancers performed at several competitions and got stronger and stronger! The green and gold costumes of our group routine sparkled up on stage and really brought the theme of celebration to life. Our Irish spies performed their complex duet beautifully and received a lot of attention from the judges both for their amazing dancing and the fun name of their routine (thanks Miss Jen!). Our year end show ‘Amazing Race Around the World’ too place at Centre on the Square. Our Irish 1 & 2 dancers joined forces to present a lively softshoe number that got the audience clapping along! Then each class performed their own impressive hardshoe routines, showing off all the impressive skills they learned throughout the year. The show was tons of fun and Miss Katie & Miss Jen were incredibly proud of all of the dancers! We also had a couple of performances over the summer break. First, we performed at the KW Multicultural Festival. Although it was raining on and off all day, the rain held off for our performance our large group of dancers looked and sounded amazing on the stage! In July we also performed at the Cherry Festival in Kitchener. Not only was the performance fun, but we hope that we inspired some of our audience to try out Irish dance too! Finally, for the fifth summer in a row, Intensely Irish offered a summer lesson program – both a youth and adult class! Our summer classes are a chance to have some fun doing things that we don’t always get the chance to do during the regular year and also a perfect time to try out Irish dance in general. Now, although we would love for summer to last even longer, Intensely Irish is already gearing up for the new dance year! We can’t wait to see all that our dancers accomplish this year!
