Back to New York

Upstate this time! And a little downstate too...

Here are some pictures of our week with Grandpa T and Nancy:










After our time upstate, we went down to Suffern for the 45th Annual Rockland County Feis. Chris did great! We saw some excellent New York dancing and Chris came home with a first in reel, and seconds in light jig and hornpipes. Since his first feis, Chris has moved up to the Novice division where he is competing with more experienced dancers. We are amazed that he competed in reel with 16 other dancers and came out on top! The whole "levels" aspect of Irish dancing takes a lot to explain (more than you probably care to know) but with Christopher's first place, he now moves up in reel to the Prizewinner category. Once he gets firsts in his other Novice dances, he will move up in them too.


We are very proud of our Irish dancer! Here are his three dances. I thought I got hornpipes but I must have forgotten to hit record...
