If you didn't get the message from me, here is the June 2 news.
Dia dhuit! I have a TON of group, Irish dance, general dance, and contest news for you all! This will be a long message, but read the whole thing, there are lots of surprises in store for you!
First of all, Carolyn won our contest! Her pictures will be displayed on the group page. Please join her group for dancers at this link: http://www.goodreads.com/group/show/7...
Second, I have added a lot of categories. Please try to post AT LEAST three times a week. It will keep the group nice and active.
Fourth, two Irish dance companies have been featured on America's Got Talent! The Clark Academy and The New York Irish Dance Company got three yes votes each and will be performing in Las Vegas! You can watch Clark Academy here: http://www.hulu.com/watch/365841/amer... And you can watch NYIDC here: http://www.hulu.com/watch/363611/amer...
