My latest post for my Feis Dad gig out on Antonio Pacelli.
A recent situation between my dancer and I made me realize a few things, and I am probably not the only one that feels this way, so I wanted to share. If you can get your dancer to read it (more power to you), maybe they will realize we aren’t that bad after all 😉

My latest post out on Antonio Pacelli. I was thinking about dance safety, and if your dancer is like mine, they will dance anywhere. I warn mine all the time to be safe, and if I was Dr. Seuss, it might go something like in this post.

I am not actually sure if I am learning life lessons by watching TGC as she grows during dance, or if she is learning them, or both. For my next Antonio Pacelli post, I collected the lessons I think we are taking away from this Irish dance madness.

Another post for my Feis Dad Gig out on Antonio Pacelli. I noticed a similarity between a few different ‘life events’.
Typically, ‘The 7 Stages’ are associated with something completely different, but I have come to find, that they are the exact same stages of purchasing your first, and subsequent solo dresses.

My latest post on Antonio Pacelli, some dos and don’ts for the first time parents who have brought their children up in ‘less cool’ sports like football. Also good for family and friends who are going to their first feis.

A trip to Oireachtas is a wonderfully enlightening, scary thing. Filled with dance and friends and emotions and bling, here are some steps to prepare you for your adventure. A new post in my Feis Dad series out on Antonio Pacelli, take a look at Oireachtas Lessons Learned.
In my feeble attempt to prove I know something about Irish Dance, I have created another post for Antonio Pacelli, this time on the basic Irish dances. Meant as a primer for new parents, it may be a bit uninformative for a lot of you, but honestly, I picked up some things I didn’t know when I researched it so it might be worth a quick read. So, take a look at A Very Basic Intro To Irish Dances
An Intro to Irish Dance Terms
The next post in my Feis Dad series out on Antonio Pacelli is a quick intro to some of the terms used in Irish Dance. You know the easy ones to say like ‘feis’. Don’t laugh, you know you probably said it wrong before you were ‘in the know’.
So take a look and let me know if I captured all of them out at An Introduction to Irish Dance Terms.
