Do you follow us on tik tok👀

We’ve been creating an Irish soundtrack where once a week we upload a video dancing to music by an Irish artist🎶

We wanted to showcase some of the best Irish musicians coming out of Ireland right now! Some of them may be up and coming, some may be well known or some you may not be aware are Irish!

So if you want to see who we’ve danced to so far, head over to our page!📹

Who do you want to see us dancing to?👇🏽

Our adult fitness ladies have been busy this summer🚶‍♀️💃

At the start of July we started a “Summer commitment challenge”, all 54 of our adults were entered into the challenge. They collected stamps for attending classes and events held by the school🤩

Our winner was Miss Ellie Canning who won a voucher for Amici Ristorante Portstewart🏆

We also had our usual summer meet up for a walk around Portrush and coffee at Roasted Coffee☕️

We love encouraging our adults to stay active and consistent all while supporting local businesses too!🫶🏼

It won’t be long until our next challenge for these ladies👀👀

🎉💃 HAPPY 2ND BIRTHDAY TO US!💃🎉

Two years ago, I took a leap of faith and created something very close to my heart, an Irish dance school where I could share my passion for dance❤️

Today, I’m looking back with so much pride and gratitude at everything we have created together.

Because we are so much more than an Irish dance school, we are a family.

A place where friendships have blossomed, memories have been made, milestones have been celebrated and everyone is encouraged to be their very best. A place where retired dancers have reconnected with something they once loved, where people come to switch off, burn calories and laugh, and where children are given the opportunity to discover their potential, build confidence and find their own love for dance✨

We celebrate each other, we cry together, support one another through challenges and share so many special moments both inside and outside the studio.

We teach culture.
We share traditions.
We perform.
We laugh.
We learn.
We grow.
We create memories.
And most importantly, we dance💃

Watching our dancers grow in confidence, develop their skills, step onto a stage, reconnect with their passion or simply walk through the door with a smile makes every moment of this journey worthwhile.

I feel incredibly lucky to be able to share my passion with all of you and to have built a community filled with such wonderful, supportive and inspiring people.

Thank you to every dancer, parent, family member, sponsor, supporter and friend who has been part of our journey over these past two years. You have helped make this dream into something far more beautiful than I could ever have imagined❤️

Here’s to 2 incredible years, countless memories, many more milestones to come and a future filled with music, culture, friendship and, of course, lots and lots of dancing!💃

Happy 2nd Birthday to our wee family🎂❤️

With love, Karri💕

Main show highlights from Festival Intercéltico d'Occidente🎶💃

Can we go back and do it all again please?🥲 (minus the lost suitcase)

Looking back at some of the best memories performing at the Festival Intercéltico d'Occidente in Tapia de Casariego🫶🏼✨💛

🫶🏼THANK YOU 🫶🏼

Can we just take a moment to thank every single person who shared, liked, tagged and reposted our video about our missing suitcase.

That video reached 356,500 people. We genuinely cannot thank everyone enough for the support. We have been completely overwhelmed by the kindness, amount of shares and messages from you all❤️

For anyone who has been following the story, we finally got our suitcase back on Monday.

The suitcase was taken back to Dublin by Aer Lingus after the cabin crew “missed” it during their checks of the overhead locker, despite us asking them multiple times to check when we landed in Santiago.The suitcase then remained on the aircraft for the flight back to Dublin, where it was eventually discovered by the crew on the ground there.

We only found this out because Karri managed to get in contact with the pilot from our flight.
We submitted a report to claim the suitcase, hoping Aer Lingus would arrange for it to be sent on to us in Spain. Unfortunately, they didn’t respond to the claim, answer our calls or reply to our emails.

So, when we landed in Dublin on Monday evening, we were determined that we were not leaving that airport without it.

Thankfully, we got the case back that evening (after the aer lingus staff member laughed about the situation) without so much as an apology from Aer Lingus.

One thing we can absolutely take from this: PUT AN AIR TAG IN EVERYTHING🙃

And finally, a huge shout-out to First Officer Max from Aer Lingus. Without you, we would probably still be wondering where our suitcase was and thinking someone had randomly ended up with it.

To everyone who helped us get the word out, thank you. Truly. 🫶🏼

🇪🇸✨ TAPIA 2026✨🇪🇸

As we return home and reflect on an incredible trip I just want to take a moment to say thank you to each person who made this trip so special💛

First and foremost, thank you to Festival Intercéltico d'Occidente for welcoming us and giving our dancers the opportunity to perform, experience new cultures, make memories and share their love of Irish dance🍀

To my amazing dancers, I couldn’t be prouder of you! 💃
There were a few setbacks along the way, but you showed incredible resilience, supported each other, kept smiling and never gave up. You embraced every moment, had so much fun and made memories that will last a lifetime🌟

To all the parents and families thank you for your support, encouragement and for trusting us with such a special trip. Your patience and positivity helped make the whole experience possible ❤️

To Millview Embroidery & Promotional Products for our tour kits and our beautiful costumes. I’m so glad a few of the costumes made it to Spain so we could wear them for a couple of the events🫶🏼

And finally, a massive thank you to our wonderful sponsors for supporting our dancers and helping make this opportunity a reality. Your generosity means so much to us and to the whole school. We will not forget that🙏

Despite the bumps along the way, we came home with smiles, laughter, new friendships and unforgettable memories🇪🇸☀️

Here’s to the adventures, the challenges we overcome together, and the memories we create along the way! ❤️

Tapia 2026.. one for the memory books! 🇪🇸💃✨
