Irish Ivy

Ivy competed this weekend in the Oregon State Feis.

It was her first Irish Dance competition and she did so well.

She dances for Yeates Academy of Irish Dance in Protland, OR.

She competed in the First Feis U10 division.

She won a gold medal in her reel and a silver medal in the single jig.

She also did a light jig, but she made a small mistake and didn't place.

I was so proud of her though, because she just kept going and never lost the smile on her face!

Ivy also competed in a dance called the Trophy Reel.

Here she is receiveing her first place trophy in the U10 First Feis division.

It was an exciting moment for both of us.

My mom (Black Grandma) was also there and she yelled, "Oh Ivy!" when her name was announced as first place.

Ivy loved every minute of it and truly has a passion for Irish dance.

You can see it on her face when she dances how much she loves it.

Just ask her to dance and she will perform for you right then and there!
