Rachels Gone Irish!!

Rachel started Irish dancing a few months ago. She LOVES it and is learning really fast. Last night, they had a family celi (dance). We all went and watched the dancers perform. It was so neat! Rachel is in the beginners class. But there are also the novice dancers and Team dancers. They were amazing to watch! Rachel commented on the way home that she never knew they danced like that (that well)! I think it got her excited to see what she will be like in a couple years. Here are some pictures


These are the dancers. Rachel is in front with the grey shorts

Rachel and her dance teacher, Martin Percival. He is such a great teacher. He used to be Lord in Lord of the Dance and he has a great British accent that is fun to listen to.


After the dancers danced, Martin led us in some group dancing. It was really fun, almost like square dancing. Tom and Sam were "not in the dancing mood" so they just watched but Megan and Jessica loved dancing. It was a really fun night.
