Essence of Ireland Palace Theatre Mansfield
11/12 March 2011
'Academy Dancer's were Outstanding'
The feedback from those who attended the show at the Palace Theatre and from the Cast of Essence of Ireland on our dancers performance was 'They Were Outstanding'.
All of us at the Academy are delighted, proud and really grateful to the dancers who took part, as well as parents, family and friends, who not only supported the show, but ran the dancers to and from rehersal, helped backstage, in dressing rooms, and escorted the dancers on the night, without such support the comments and feedback we received would not have been possible.
So on behalf of the Academy, may we say a great big thank you to everyone involved in this event Essesnce of Ireland Cast and Directors, Parents, Family, Friends and of course Our Dancers.

Class Feis Please Support these events
Important Information for parents
regarding Class Feis.
The Academy runs Class Feis's to enable all dancers to compete against each other on a friendly competitive basis, thus helping to prepare dancers for competing at Open Feis level, creating confidence and understanding of the Feis world. We would therefore, encourage Parents' to allow their children tor dance in these events because without Parent support there will be no Class Feis's and the dancers would not be able to gain such experiences
