World Irish Dancer Podcast

Happy St. Patricks Day! I hope you wore your green today!

Today I give a full review of the Lavin Cassidy feis I attended in Wisconsin and talk about my trip to Chicago afterwards and the so-called luxurious hotel I stayed in. I go into depth about how much people think this podcast sucks and how much I don’t care. Ha! Also March is an Irish dance MaDNeSS month. Tons of shows and lots of fun, including the Siamsa and St Patrick’s Day parade in downtown SLC that the Shelley school performs in annually.

View photos from my Chicago trip after the feis at the World Irish Dancer blog.
