Darby's First Feisana

This weekend Darby has her first feisana. (It is pronounced feshanna.) That is what the Irish Dance competitions are called. The girls all do their dances either in groups of two, three, or all alone. If they get to dance with someone else, there is no guarantee that they have been taught the same steps, so they really have to know their dances. The plan is for Darby to do 3 dances, and they are very traditional. She has practiced so much! She is really doing great. I am so impressed with how well she does. She is the youngest student with her teacher, but she jumps just as high as the big girls, if not higher! She always did have springs for legs. So, we will be in Salt Lake on Saturday! The feis starts at 9 and Darby should be in the first part. We aren't real sure how these things work yet, it is our first too! She will do great, but it never hurts to have our giant support system behind you, so keep her in your thoughts please!
