“My daughter Rebecca and I discovered you on social media, and we immediately fell in love with your work! I feel like you capture a dancer’s love for what they do no matter age or experience! I can’t decide which portrait is my favorite, I keep going back and forth, seriously changes every time I look at the photos. I really love the final products!!”

Finally getting around to posting some pictures from Nationals. I had such a great time and made so many great memories. Just two or three years ago, competing at nationals just seemed like a dream. I thought I would have to retire without ever dancing on the national stage. It was so surreal to be able to compete at nationals and I was so happy with how the day went and how I danced. It was such an amazing experience. My week in New Orleans is one I’ll probably never forget and it’s the most fun I’ve ever had at a dance competition. It took a lot to get to the national stage but I’m so proud of how far I’ve come as a dancer in the last couple of years. Nationals has motivated me more than ever and I can’t wait to see what the rest of the year has in store for me.

Colleen Falco of Maguire. 10th place in the Senior Ladies A competition. Her reaction to being called on stage for the top 10 was one of my favorites of the entire week.

congrats on second! btw i saw you walking around the venue on your dance day, you looked gorgeous but i saw a beer in your hand which concerned me a bit. i have no problem at all w drinking lol but with so many kids around and you looking young as well as being a member of the same, more young person oriented sport as them, i'm not sure it's the best example or really the right thing to do. not judging at all and i understand it's a party city i was just wondering ur rationale behind doing that

wait is this actually a joke…. i’m 25 years old first of all. i’m of age and have every right to make my own decisions.it’s new orleans and i haven’t had an alcoholic drink in months in preparation for this major competition. they literally sell alcohol IN THE VENUE OUTSIDE THE BALLROOMS. there are parents and about 99% of the senior ladies all had a drink in their hand right after their set.. also including some teachers who literally started drinking at 8am. lol i’m old enough and responsible enough to have a drink after i dance and i don’t think any consumption of alcohol in moderation is setting a bad example whatsoever. at the end of the day, i am a NORMAL person who lives a NORMAL life and i’m not going to change the way i act to exist in the irish dance world whatsoever because at the end of the day this is a hobby that essentially means nothing in the grand scheme of things and if everyone thinks i’m a bad role model or dislikes me for how i am than whatever. i’ll still sleep at night haha this is actually so ridiculous i can’t deal with this website anymore lmaooooooo

(also jsyk it was prosecco not beer !!! if you really knew me i don’t drink beer 😉)

Sometimes being true to who you are is being a role model. Maybe if others stopped worrying so much about what other people do and worked on just being kind to one another we'd make more human connections. Congratulations Megan on such a fabulous result! Keep on keepin' on!
