I have been blown away by the reactions to our Irish dance piece “Waiting for Conrad” at this year’s Keeping Dance Alive. People really seemed to enjoy it! But this just about takes the cake:
anonymous from “Tell It to the E-R” in the Chico Enterprise Record, 2 April 2010:
Irish dancers stole the show
Went to see “Keeping Dance Alive” at Laxson Auditorium and just wanted to say bravo to the Irish dancers. They were so wonderful they literally stole the show. Would love to see more of them. The hip-hop was also good. Have to say the rest of the performances were disappointing, but kudos to the Irish dancers and thank them for all the work they did to bring us such a delightful performance.
My reaction: !!!!!!!!!
To the anonymous caller: whoever you are, you are my new best friend. Thank you! I thought this year’s KDA was particularly good and I thought all the performances were really high quality, so this is amazing to hear. It’s true, we did work hard (and had fun doing it!) so thanks to Maria, Rose, Kelsey, Shannon and Abby for all their hard work!
