Thank you, Christine! Happy holidays to you and the other adult dancers here. I'm also looking forward to the 2010 feis season. Maybe this will be the year of mastering King of the Fairies :-)

Kathi@Triskelt commented on the group 'Adult Irish Dancers'

I joined the adult class at my daughter's school after she'd been dancing about 2-3 years. Several of us "dance moms" had daughters the same age and decided it looked like fun, so we had a lot of mutual support as we progressed. Our teacher loves ad…

I keep seeing posts on some of the ID message boards from U.S. people wanting to buy the Rimmel tanning products (Rimmel Shimmer) which are not for sale here. This could be something the online ID vendors in the UK might consider adding to their ran…

Kathi@Triskelt commented on the group 'Irish Dance Vendors'

I vote for a simple model where Diddlyi provides a showroom or gallery for us vendors, but sales are handled through our own businesses, which are already set up for payment, shipping, etc. Inventory management with a more complicated arrangement co…

About me

Adult dancer and dance mom of over 12 years. Daughter is taking a break from competitive dance to attend college. I love Irish trad music, helping to organize dance events. I manage several websites offering Irish dance gifts, through which I enjoy promoting the original work of artists and craftspeople.

What Irish things do I play, dance, say, sing or other:

Competitive adult dancer of 8+ years; play the bodhran for fun, sell Irish dance gifts on the web.

How many years have you been playing/singing?

8+ Years

Favorite Music

Chieftains, Beoga (love these lads who play at our feiseanna!), Albannach (Scottish tribal music)...any kind of crazy Celtic fiddle music. Accordion music in small doses.

Dancing School / Group

McBride School of Irish Dance/Northern California

Dancing Level

Novice/Adult

How many years have you been Irish dancing?

Favourite Irish Dance Show

The original classic Riverdance

I love this about Irish Dancing:

Friendships over the years & the years of dancing/traveling with my daughter.

I love this about Irish Tradition:

Where else can a grown woman dance in public with her teenage daughter and get a medal for it?

Last year one of our members, Sarah Churchill, did some really cool journal posts about the origin of the celtic costume. There are a few pictures included in the posts ... I'll list the links to them below in case you're interested:

At 12:58am on October 9, 2008, Feis America said…: Hi Cathi! We have a great thing going with Triskelt and Feis America, and I know that you are going to love the first issue. My background is in writing, marketing, editing, business development and strategic planning. I am 3rd generation Irish American and both my daughters dance in Connecticut for Maura Gray of the Gray-Gillan-Owens School of ID. I started FA because I was disappointed in the options for Irish dancers with regard to magazines - my girls are both great lovers of books. 18 months later, here I am, with a great creative team and a hugely supportive audience across North America - of all ages! Thanks for your support and keep feising!
