That's Gaelic for Love, Loyalty, and Friendship in case anyone was wondering
I have been doing Irish dancing for 10 years now with the O'Neill-James School and I don't think I will ever be able to stop. Very little in Irish dancing comes naturally to me, but I am addicted to it so I have practiced a ton and I think I have improved :)
I am so fortunate that I have been able to participate in competitions, which have really drawn me closer to my mom and my dance friends. I have been to the Southern Region championships in Florida, Dallas, and Charlotte and been to more local competitions.
The elaborate costumes, fake tans, wigs, and makeup have gotten really pageant-y since I first started, but it definitely makes it more fun. I would never want to give up my hot pink tulle ruffle dress either :) My favorite part about Irish dancing is doing performances because I love to see how the audience reacts to everything (plus, if I mess up, they don't know it.)
I'm not sure if I will be able to continue dancing in college. Whatever happens though, I don't think I will ever forget Irish dancing. I'm constantly going over my steps with my toes and fingers wherever I am so I think it will be hard to stop!
If anyone is interested in Irish dance lessons, here's my school's website :)
