Dancing Queen



Since September Cass has been learning the ins and outs (and skip-two-threes) of Irish Dance. She has an amazing teacher and the whole experience has just been so much fun. Today she participated in her first feis (pronounced "fesh") or competition. It was amazing!!

There were just over 300 dancers competing at Kearns High. Here she is putting on her ghillies just before her performance.

Her new friend Makenna, also making her debut at a feis.

And the results are in! 2nd place in her category. Way to go Cass!

It really was so much fun. I was so stressed about doing her hair with the tiara and hairpiece but thanks to about 75 bobby pins we made it work. Cass did two dances, the light jig and the reel and placed 2nd and 3rd, respectively. Mostly it was just fun to go a be a part of something like this. And of course McDonald's breakfast on the way home (we had to be there at the crackage of dawnage) didn't hurt, either! I told Cass she was born to Irish dance---CASSIDY is an Irish name, after all.
