I have the biggest love/hate relationship with dancing

[pointtoesforwhat]

That’s my first nationals in the books!!! I could not be happier with how it went. I really struggled with confidence the last couple of years, so I went in to NANS believing that I didn’t deserve to go and that I should still be in Prelim. The night before I rented @danceoflove‘s dress and bought a new wig/shoes/buckles, so on my actual dance day I felt like I at least looked like an Open Champion. I danced my first round the best I had ever performed on stage and came off grinning ear to ear. In my second round I still danced better than usual, but it wasn’t quite my dance class best. 

I didn’t recall, but I did get 61st, which was only eight away from placing and three judges placed me in the top half. I still cannot believe that I was THAT close, and it is extremely validating to me to realize that I do belong in Open champion, and my work is making huge jumps in my dancing skills. I’m super motivated to work towards Oireachtas, and I’m going to start feising in OC now! 

SO incredibly happy!

Random Thought

Does anyone ever just want to know where your old dresses are in the world? We sell them and usually never see them again and then they’re sold again and I just want to know where they are and where they’ve been sometimes. Anyone else?

I reblog this every time I see it, because it’s one of life’s hardest lessons.

You can take the girl out of Irish dance but you’ll never take Irish dance out of the girl. Sad that worlds 2017 was my last competition but I’ll never leave the sport entirely. I look forward to being a spectator, teacher, and someone that uses dance strictly for fun and a good workout from time to time. Thanks for a great way to end things, Dublin ❤🍀

Still on cloud 9 😭🏆 last June when I got first they messed up the results and put me in third until after I got my marks and realized, so I didn’t get to have that true reaction moment. Yesterday for sure made up for that.
