How you can help the Richards family in the Boston aftermath!

Hi everyone,

I (Keara) think I speak for all of us at IPD when I say how impressed I am with the immediate response from Irish dancers all across the nation in support for Jane, the little dancer from the Clifden Academy whose family was so severely affected by this tragedy.  The amount of support on Facebook is incredible.  Here is a compilation of ways you can help from wherever you are.  Please reblog the heck out of this to get the word out as much as possible!!!  

Dance Out for Jane - A benefit performance for local to Boston dancers tentatively scheduled for April 26th:  https://www.facebook.com/events/448828438535122/?ref=2

Wrapping Jane in our Love - A call for all Irish dance schools and groups from all over to send a t-shirt to make Jane a quilt: https://www.facebook.com/pages/Wrapping-Jane-in-Our-Love/477212572350202

Red Sox for Jane - Send in your poodle socks, and dancers in New Jersey will be dying them red and sending them back.  Or, make a donation, and get a pair of red poodle sox: https://www.facebook.com/RedSoxsForJane?fref=ts

I'll add to this as I see more.  Please reblog and add as you see more ways to support, too!

Irish dance family love to all,

Keara and all of the Irish Pride Dancers

We have confirmed the dance school the Richard family is associated with is the Clifden Irish Dance Academy. 7 year old Jane has been very badly injured and is the Irish dancer in the family. Her brother Martin, age 8, was one of the fatalities and their mom is awaiting surgery and is very...

It's just that much harder to learn that it was one of your own.  While none of us knew this family, Irish dancing across the world is a bond that we all share.  It was a senseless tragedy for this family to lose so much.  Our hearts are with Jane and her family today and always as they struggle to move through this unspeakably difficult time.

And the old folk STILL GOT IT!

I like this....I remember a lot of those people from my, ah, younger days.  I want to point out the lovely women doing the HANGING leaps, not this weird kick out thing that's popular with the young folk these days.

Keara and I rehearsed with the Brick Top Blaggers for the upcoming OC International Fair. Pictures and video by Dark Image Studios Photogrpahy. 

It was a really fun experience, one that Keara and I hope we get to experience again. It isn't everyday that you get invited out to sit in on a band's rehearsal. BTB asked for the big room at the Bomb Shelter Rehearsal Studios in Garden Grove, and what a treat that was! Hard wood floor (so we could dance and go over what we needed to for the upcoming shows), a mini stage complete with stage lights, and a couch--a couch that Keara and I took over almost immediately. Yes, we were there to dance, but that's besides the point. As you can tell from the video we got a little silly and made them some fan signs (which we held up and screamed at the end of each of their numbers). We also got to listen to some of their new tracks for their new upcoming album and their surprise cover song--which, I just have to say, O.M.G. They totally rocked "Teenage Wasteland" at the OC International Street Fair. Pictures and video footage from today's OC International Street Fair will be coming up shortly! Stay tuned...

You can take a look at the individual pictures at my personal business facebook page, Dark Image Studios Photography. And while you are on facebook make sure to head over and check out the Brick Top Blaggers!
