About me
I have been dancing since the age of 6, competed until the age of 16, highest placing was 4th in the Worlds.. Then toured with Riverdance and now teaching in the Tir na nOg Irish dancing school Germany! I suppose you could say dancing has been and is my life!
What Irish things do I play, dance, say, sing or other:
I have a fiddle, bodhran, tin whistle and Guitar and can just about manage to play one simple tune on each, Its not something for the public though... trust me!

Oh, and sometimes, if you get me with a few beers inside I like to belt out some songs... again, this should be handled with great care, probably best suited to the shower...
Favorite Music
Even though I listen to it everyday I am still a big fan of Traditional Irish music, love the new stuff!

After a long and stressful day of classes, when the last thing I want to hear is a fiddle or an accordian I like to listen to some "normal" music but hate most pop and have a life mission to get rid of all hip hop / rap music in the world... hate it...Anything other than those to Genres are ok by me ;-)
Dancing School / Group
Tir na nOg Germany / Poland / Moscow
Dancing Level
TCRG
How many years have you been Irish dancing?
18 years (wow... that makes me sound old...)
Favourite Irish dance Show
Riverdance and Dancing thru the ages of course ;-)
I love this about Irish Dancing:

The frustration of not being able to dance!!!

Hi everyone, Wow! Its been a while since I wrote a journal post but I suppose its better late than never! Things have been busy as usual over the past few weeks but now, alas, I have been forced to take some time off and I am going mad! Reason being that I had to have this operation on my toes on both feet. Kind of complicated to explain but basically the bones were messed up and the joints needed to be straightened out... All very fun stuff! Anyway, it means that I have to stay off my feet as… Continue

Yo dudes!

Hi everyone,

Thought it was about time that I wrote another edition on my dance journal...

Things have been really crazy lately, its always a really busy time in September. Trying to get back into a routine after the summer and organizing dancers and classes for the coming year...stress! Unfortunately I havent had enough time to enjoy Diddlyi, but I am hoping as I settle into the new year and things calm down that I will be a lot more active here!

Isnt it great to see… Continue

The latest news in the life of me...

Hi there,

I thought it was about time for an updated blog post as a lot has been going on since the last one. Last time I wrote I was on my super Thailand holiday buzz, Unfortunately the holiday buzz is now fading rapidly but I am still having a lot of fun and keeping myself good and busy.

So where to begin?? Well, the day after I got back from paradise it was time to get straight back to work with the Salzburg summer camp. It was a great week with loads of dancing, drilling an… Continue

This is my Island in de sun!!!

Hi all,

Have a bit of time this morning for a blog post due to a torrential downpour of rain... :( Nevermind, I think I had enough sun yesterday anyway, I look like a lobster...best to cool off for a day I think...

So, I am having the time of my life and if ever you have the chance to come to Thailand I strongly recommend that you do it! There is probably nothing better than waking up in the morning by the sound of waves crashing against the shore, walking out of your small bea… Continue

Hey Shane, how are you? Just spotted Munich feis results at feisbase... Serious, why am I not surprised?! Is there a chance to correct the name of school I was dancing for? As I am not a Delhany dancer. Please, correct it for Hession School if possible. Thank you very much... Have a great summer, ciao Tereza

Hey Shane, many thanx to you, Mary and everyone who helped with Münich feis this year! It was very well organized and nice comeback for me after a while. Really enjoyed that, although it felt very quick (probably because I spend there only one afternoon) hihihi. Hope you're going to dance soon, too. Take it easy, Tereza x
