The Ghillie Girls: Irish Dance Pals

Irish dance is interesting, bright, colorful...and sometimes confusing! The Ghillie Girls: Irish Dance Pals is a book for children interested in this cultural art form. A blend of fact and fiction, the book follows the adventures of four very different girls who have one thing in common--their love for Irish dance. Colorful illustrations and fact-filled sidenotes describe what Irish dancers do and wear and why, while highlighting the value of things besides winning medals, like teamwork, sportsmanship, and friendship.

The Ghillie Girls began as a Christmas present for my Irish dance friends, the real life Ghillie Girls: Beki (Libby), Kim (Addy), and Jacqui (Keelin). I wanted to give them a meaningful present, and as I thought over our adventures together as Irish dancers, the idea for The Ghillie Girls book began to form. It came together in just a couple of weeks and I printed a few copies on a color copier and bound them by hand. It was a great hit! Then I decided to share the book with others and spent several months revamping it to be more informative and helpful for new dancers. The Ghillie Girls is a lot different than the Christmas presents I gave to my friends, but the basic premise is still the same: Irish dancers make great friends.

    Hi Heidi, is your book still available to purchase via PayPal from this website? I'm in Melbourne, Australia & am posting this comment on Tue 24 Oct 2017. My daughter is mad keen on Irish Dancing. I want to know that copies of the book are still available before going thru the PayPal process. Thanks.

    Hang a heavy piece of rope between two trees or in a corner of the reception room, and clip each "flag" to it. The bunting of flags will add a very festive nautical detail to your reception venue, and your guests are sure to admire your creativity.Escort Tel Aviv

    Both traditional and modern Western styles are commonly enjoyed, and modern American square dance includes square, round, contra and clogging. Dancers are all ages and nationalities.So danca NYC

    Almost everyone knows how to use one, but do you know how to do copy machine maintenance? In businesses, if you know how to maintain it, then you will not have to spend time troubleshooting the problem. Best Copy Machines

    The texture of silk charmeuse just seems to naturally lend itself to the paler hues like pinks, peaches and even those subtle shades of silver or grey. Toptan iç çamaşırı
