Got my last first at Ryan feis and reached my goal of qualifying for the 2018 nationals. I could not be more thrilled! 😊😊

Home after the most amazing trip (minus a couple of days) Starting off with second place at the All Scotlands was incredible and something I never thought would ever happen, and then in all the excitement my body decides to just fall apart and get sick. Heading into the Great Brits I didn’t even think I would get to dance. I got a HORRIBLE case of strep throat and was in bed for 2 days straight. After being as sick as I was, I was happy with just dancing, but getting on the podium again was such a dream come true. I am so excited for this year and so grateful for my teachers and my friends who support me so much.

Stamina Tips

Okay, so I’ve been wanting to share my stamina tips for awhile! I most certainly don’t have perfect stamina but I have developed some ideas which really help me stay strong until the end.

Stamina is very mental. If you go in thinking about how long your dance is, your stamina is not going to be good. Instead, tell yourself that you are about to do your best dance ever. Another tip is to take it one step at a time. Tell yourself you’re only doing one step, than add another and another.

Do your full dances frequently! You can do as much cardio and strength training as you want but if you don’t practice doing your full dances, your dancing stamina will not improve. I try to do my full dances at least once a day (with a rest day) and coming up to competition I try to bump it up to two or three times a day. Do what’s right for you. It’s important for me mentally to be able to know that I’ve done my fulls frequently.

BREATHE. After each step, I try to check my breathing and make sure that I am actually breathing. I have a tendency to hold my breath and that does not help endurance!

Drink plenty of water. Make sure to drink plenty of water throughout each day and especially on days you exercise! It makes a bigger impact that you think!

My Favorite Stamina Exercises:

1. Full dances + extra steps: Self-explanatory…Usually I only add one extra step but I occasionally add two steps or go twice through my dance.

2. Backwards Step-About: This one is difficult but rewarding! Start with left foot of your last step, then wait eight bars. Continue with your entire last step, wait eight bars. Add your left foot of your second step into your entire last step, and so on until you end up doing your full dance.

3. Stamina Step-About: This is my favorite at the moment. I do my first step then go directly into 8-16 bars of jogging in place while kicking all the way up behind. I then directly go into my second step and again go into 8-16 bars of jumping jacks, then I do my last step and go into jogging again. Sometimes I do my last step one last time. Feel free to switch out cardio moves! I often just do whatever cardio move I feel like, or sometimes I do basic dance moves instead, like skips.

I hope these were helpful! These are all challenging exercises so make sure to work your way up to them. I am happy to answer any questions!

Hi everybody!! My gavin dress is for sale so if you’re interested please let me know. Its also on dance again at http://www.dance-again.com/X1956.html

I’m 5′7″ and around 130 pounds but there is room to let it out and down. There are over $400 of Swarovski crystals on it. The underskirt is a matching blue to the collar so the judges really notice when you kick high. This dress really has been my lucky dress as it wasn’t until I got it that I started placing in open championship at every feis and recalling at the oireachtas and north american championships.

I’ll give everyone a cookie if they refrain from reblogging my old, crappier version of this .gif and reblog this one. This one just looks much clearer & feel free to delete this rambling text caption :)

I love really rhythmic sets

fianaigecht-is-moving

asking an Irish dancer if they riverdance is like saying to an actor, “oh, so you shakespeare?”

sky-dance

Yeah haha, so if you call it “riverdancing”, what do you even call ballet, “nutcracking”??

fianaigecht-is-moving

Omg nutcracking

Irish dance things that are just the best

1. When you finish a really good hornpipe and you’re like “I didn’t die AND it looked good?” 2. When the judge nods at you before ringing the bell 3. Good spins 4. Standing on a chair in the back of the hall to catch a friends set 5. Seeing your friends on chairs in the back of the hall watching your set 6. Seeing a friend at a feis when you weren’t expecting them to be there 7. Hitting every damn click 8. Marking scores during results cause you’re too nervous 9. Feis naps 10. When your mom/dad/feis parent/ teacher is super proud of you 11. Another dancer telling you you did well 12. Being happy with how you danced 13. Taking your shoes off after several hours in the studio 14. Long days at the studio that are exhausting but fun 15. Seeing a friend for the first time in months 16. Going to a show and having a good sounding floor That’s all I can think of, but add more if you want.
