Stefanie is back at Irish Dance! YAY! We have found a great dance school in Munich and Stefanie is motivated. She gets herself to and from class via public transportation and goes to class twice a week. This past weekend she participated in her first European Feis. She placed fifth which was great for her first feis in two years. Another dancer at Stefanie's school was kind enough to let her borrow this dress. It does look beautiful on her. Stefanie loved that it is adorned with Swarovski crystals!
She and I travelled to The Hague in the Netherlands for two days. It looks like a cool city but we didn't have much a chance to explore since we arrived late Saturday night and then spent most of Sunday at the Feis. I did go for a run in a beautiful park and we did enjoy a delicious Mexican dinner at Kua Mexican Kitchen after the Feis.
There were some differences and some similarities to the way a US Feis runs. This feis was smaller than the ones we used to go to and didn't use any computers for tallying results. This led to a very long day. Also, some dancers danced in multiple levels of competition. Odd. Lastly, results were announced and dancers called up on stage for every single competition! Things that were the same? Lots of dancers, lots of wigs, lots of elaborate dresses and lots of bling.
