About me
Translator, mother, used-to-be dancer (now starting it all over, but with different goals - wanna continue my grade exams!). I was a manager of Irish Dance group from Poznan for 2 years. I like cats and have one - our puss's name is Ozzie. My husband's hobby is reconstruction of Medieval knighthood. I wonder what weird thing our son will do..? ;)
UPDATE: Ryanair cabin crew since March 2008 :)
What Irish things do I play, dance, say, sing or other:
I sing everything that I know the lyrics of;) If I don't know the lyrics, I hum. Or tap the rythm. Or just jump up&down in a pub:)
I'm trying to play the guitar, but let it be my private activity for some time;)
I dance less than I would love to... Need to practise on my own, because work prevents my going to TNN Poland trainings:((
Favorite Music
folk, rock (I'm the 80s girl;)), film music. also old Russian ballads (I was born in Russia!)
I like to sing along during dancing:)
Dancing School / Group
proud to say it - Tir na nOg Poland with Shane :))
Dancing Level
eternal beginner/primary
How many years have you been Irish dancing?
2.5 years some time ago, now is the new beginning...
Favourite Irish dance Show
Dancing on Dangerous Ground
I love this about Irish Dancing:
I guess it would have to be.... everything;D
I love this about Irish Tradition:
It is the most contagious of all:)

I finally found a teacher in Liverpool!

I was unhappy without Irish dancing here for a long time (nobody wanted to take in a 28-year-old student), but it's changed now! Thanks to Karen Mountain, I attended a class in George Ferguson's dance school yesterday. My first impression was "how different it is from TNN classes" ;) , but I think that I'll adapt to the new style soon. Celeb bits: George was a world champion in 1972 and he comes from the same school as Colin Dunne - Turley Academy of Irish Dance. His own school performed in the… Continue

Does anybody live in Marseilles??

Hi all, my work might take me to Marseilles for more or less two weeks in May (hopefully finishing just in time for me to attend the workshop in Rognac - I'm not 100% sure yet if I will attend it, but being already in the area would definitely help!;)). I work as a cabin crew, so accomodation close to the airport would be ideal, but even if you live within 1 hour distance from it, and are willing to share your house with a fellow Diddlier, please drop me a message:) any details to be consulted a… Continue

oh noooo!!! you wouldn't do really badly!! I think your good. You just need more confidence. and practise your trebels a lot and you ll do well. When I started with TNN I thought I was soooo bad. but with a lot of practise I got more self confidence and I got better. and the better you get the better you do at feisanna. I think you can be very good. Practice every day...i try to but i actually don't ( eventhough I should ;) )

anyway...believe in yourself!!!!!!!
i don't know yet if I'm going to vienna. but otherwise my next feis will be great britains. ---so excited--- and I'll have my new dress by then aswell.

Salzburg summercamp is a good workshop for technique but you don't really learn steps. there are some adults but more like people my age, I think.
after last summercamp i really really improved---thats cause the teachers are really strickt.

yeah, I can definitely imagine it was great at the worlds. Those dancers are awesome!
I study German and Spanish and my mothertongue is Dutch. I had my last exam on friday so I can finally enjoy the summer holidays. Well, I'll get my results this friday, so there's still some anxiety :)
Do you've dance classes during the summer too? Mine will start again in september but I'm attending a workshop and I'm going to the Salzburg summer camp, whoohoo!! Have fun dancing!

cool, that you found some easygoing teachers who don't fuss about too much.
yeah, my pictures are from a feis in Holland last february and of the evening before in our youth hostel. We had great fun there. I really like you pics from the worlds! thanks for sharing :) Did you know anyone competing there? I see you're a translator, cool! I'm studying to be one, but I'm only in my first year, still struggling :)

Hi Monika,
I'm originally from the Pool. But I now live in Catalonia. I have been known to play in Kennedy's Bar in Tarragona occasionally though. ;-)
