This weekend we had an amazing workshop with Mara Cernat but also we received a fantastic gift! Thanks to Marie Duffy Foundation, Hilary Joyce Owens and Mara we were able to receive several pairs of heavy and soft shoes that will be used by our dancers who struggle with financial issues and therefore cannot afford new pairs of Irish dance shoes. We are very grateful for this fantastic gift and can’t wait to see our new dancers taking their first steps in some of these shoes!
Also, many thanks to the previous owners and a special shout out to those who left little notes with the shoes! <3 We appreciate it and promise to put them to a good use!
