Highs and lows.
Achievements and disappointments.
My daughter is a competitive Irish dancer and today competed in the Leinster Pre-Open Championships. That’s the next biggest thing to the All Ireland’s.
Her two classmates both won prizes in their age groups, but R got nothing at all. It is hard for her to deal with, despite my pointing out that lots of other good dancers got nothing either.
Tomorrow are the figure dances and she is despairing that she won’t win anything then either as her partner has torn a ligament and can’t dance. Her teacher is hurriedly re-arranging the formations.
