I somehow placed today. I felt I did horribly. But looks like my irish blood was hot today. 8th place hard shoe medal round, 6th place soft shoe medal round. 8th place overall in 18&Over, with 19 overall competitors. I’m so ecstatic. This is the best I’ve ever placed at a Feis. #irishdance #seniorladies #rnhacademy https://www.instagram.com/p/BnwqQDTDJ5x/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=nfidvn3au22d

23rd place! And National Qualifier! I am so happy with my placement and so proud of myself. I couldn’t have done this without my wonderful supportive teachers from LOQC. Thank you all so much!!! #SRO2017 #seniorladies #orlandO #rnhacademy

Guys, guys, guys! I finally placed in Open! I got fourth place today at the Rhythm of Ireland Feis! (With two 2nds and a last - judge are you blind?! 😆) Sooooo happy and proud of how I danced today! I feel I did very well. I couldn’t have asked for more. Thank you so much RNH Academy for helping me build confidence in my dancing! I didn’t worry about my stamina today! Bring on Oireachtas! #irishdance #seniorladies #rnhacademy @laurenearly_rnh @mcavoyrobert

1.14km👉🏻1.34km👉🏻1.34km I neither lost nor gained speed endurance during my off season. And that makes me super happy/proud, because that means I maintained fitness and I can improve where I left off after the last Phase 2. This week was a tough week for me. Luckily I still feel quite fit (thanks RNH Academy!!) Getting back to dance class after a month off, I can definitely tell I’m closer to 30 than 20. My body didn’t forget how to dance, but it’s almost like I have to teach my muscles how to perform the way I want them to again. I feel heavier, though I didn’t gain weight, and I feel silly struggling with things that I didn’t have a problem with a month ago. But that’s one of the many challenges of being a super senior lady. But I welcome the challenge for I shall #prevail here’s to in season training! #irishdance #seniorladies #rnhacademy @laurenearly_rnh @mcavoyrobert

T-1 week until I graduate from the #rnhacademy ! I’ve learned so much and I can see and feel the improvement in my ability to produce more power and sharpness. So exited to start the graduate program! Onwards and upwards. #glasletsgo #progressnotperfection #reachingnewheights #irishdance #irishdancer #irishdancing #clrg #worlds #clannkelly @violettatrkhna @laurenearly_rnh (at Hunter Dance Center)
