HELLO EVERYBODY. So, I happened upon an article about a woman who has been doing illustrations to fight gender prejudices and I was inspired to start a similar campaign for Irish dance. Like it or not, our fabulous little community is rooted in kind of a judgement based culture when it comes to looks. Like think of every time you’ve seen a dancer on stage and gone, “her look would be great except… (insert ‘flaw’ with look here),” or you’ve seen a dancer on tumblr or facebook and gossiped to your friends about how horrendous so-and-so’s new wig was. IT’S TIME FOR THAT TO END. So, I’ve decided to start posting these illustrations (inspired by the illustrations pictured here: http://www.boredpanda.com/powerful-illustrations-showing-women-how-to-fight-against-society-prejudices/) to fight the judgement and start focusing on the individuality and fabulousness of each dancer no matter how they like to doll themselves up on stage! 

Operation ID4ID (Identity for Irish dancers) is a go. SPREAD THE LOVE AND RESPECT THE LOOKS. 

ktvh, out

So last Sunday I jumped from 12th to 4th place and qualified for the worlds, all while attending a really competitive college and also working. Compared to what some people have accomplished, this isn’t much, but for me, jumping 50 places in 3 years is more than I ever expected.The response from…

My dorky official awards photo. They only gave me the medal and sash after the photo was taken because the names were announced fast and the volunteers were in a mad scramble to catch up lol

[love-aint-no-thinkin-thing]

A couple of weeks ago I thought I wouldn’t be able to compete at the Oireachtas because of mono. Absolutely delighted to say that I am eighth in New England and qualified for worlds!🌎 P.S. Thank you rising star for my stunning dress!❤️
