// Organization Spotlight: penkodonnell ☘️ Di // Organization Spotlight: penkodonnell ☘️ Disappointments started early in the year with St. Patrick’s Day shows cancelled; then the World Championships cancelled; Summer shows all cancelled. It has been a tough year but the Penk O’Donnell Irish Dancers, who range in age from 5-25, are staying positive and enthusiastic. Disappointments started early in the year with St. Patrick’s Day shows cancelled; then the World Championships cancelled; Summer shows all cancelled. But we adjusted quickly and had our first class on Zoom on March 16th. Irish dance and Irish music, by their very nature, are upbeat, fun & energetic and online classes gave everyone something positive to look forward to in a difficult year. Our dancers are incredible and came to every class with a ton of energy and willingness to work towards whatever crazy challenge I came up with! It was great when the weather improved in the summer, and we were able to do socially distant classes outside. We attracted a lot of attention practicing on the Centennial High School track! We were able to do in-person classes briefly in Sept/Oct, but we’re back on zoom now and looking for fun ways to do a Christmas Show online. Like everyone, we are staying positive and know we will get through this. We all feel lucky that we have Irish Dance to keep us motivated and happy. #irishinbc #irish #irishabroad #irishinvancouver #irishinbc #irishdance #news #irishpassion #irishblogger #irishinvancouver #irish #GAA #gloabirish #irishcanada #irishwhotravel #covid19 #irishyes #irishlife #community #irishcommunity #irishcommunityabroad #vancouver #britishcolumbia #bc #irishdancing #dancing #irishdancer #irishdancer

// Organization Spotlight: blakeyschool ☘️ Th // Organization Spotlight: blakeyschool ☘️ The Blakey School of Irish Dance was established in the Okanagan Valley just over 20 years ago. Their dancers have had great success at competitions across Western Canada, North America, and the World Championship level. One of the dancer's most favourite pastimes is travelling to feiseanna (competitions) both local and abroad. Sadly with the COVID-19 pandemic, those adventures have come to a screeching halt. However, the teachers, dancers and parents of Blakey School have come together as a family and a community to make the best of the situation. In March (March 17th-St. Patrick’s Day, to be exact), they had to close their studio doors to in-person classes. The school cancelled over a dozen performances they had booked for St. Patrick’s Day. At that time, they took one week off for spring break and retreated to their homes to do their part to help flatten the curve and stay safe. During that week off, the teachers decided to design a brand new curriculum that would able the dancers to keep dancing.

// Organization Spotlight: Scoil Ghaeilge Vancouve // Organization Spotlight: Scoil Ghaeilge Vancouver B.C ☘️ In March 2005, the Ireland Canada Monument project was born in Merrion Square Dublin via the meeting of Eddie Reynolds and Brendan Flynn. Brendan returned to Vancouver and immediately assembled a building committee and commenced working on the project. In order to create awareness of Ireland’s first language, and to simultaneously expand awareness for the project, Scoil Gaeilge was launched in September of 2007; offering low-cost Irish language lessons for those wishing to learn the language in Vancouver. The first semester of Scoil Gaeilge was arranged as a 10-week session of classes starting in mid-September, 2007, which took place every Tuesday from 7:00pm to 8:30pm. The teacher for these first classes was Tadgh McKeown, a fluent Irish speaker from Boston whose family had roots in Donegal.
