• Atlanta Oireachtas Vendor Alert -- Sandie E., 10:13:59 01/24/08 Thu [7]
  Heads-up to anyone that made a purchase on a card from Celtic Imports Ft. Walton Beach Fla.. I made a $10.00 purchase from them at the hotel on 12/05. The transaction did not come through until recently. The problem is that it was put through twice on one day and 2 more times on seperate days after that. The chamber of commerce in Ft. Walton Beach has no listing for them. I have contacted my bank..but I just want to warn others.

  • Sandie so sorry to hear of this. I checked a few things... please read inside... -- Meg, 12:06:22 01/24/08 Thu
  • This week, I got charged FOUR times by Callahan Celt, who has merged with FabRince and was at the SRO 2007. I did try to reach the vendor, and will try again, and contacted my bank. (The ONE charge was likely legit, not FOUR.) (NT) -- Robin, 10:51:04 01/25/08 Fri
  • Sandi, I have included a link (inside) that could be the website for that company, with phone #. -- hope it helps, 11:07:18 01/25/08 Fri
    • Thanks to all for the info.!! It was CALLAHAN'S Celtic Imp. (NT) -- Sandie, 11:49:25 01/25/08 Fri
      • Sandie -- would love to hear when/if you hear from the vendor. I'll try to call you tonight, or you can call me / e-mail me. Seems we both have the same problem with the same vendor. (NT) -- Robin, 12:12:21 01/25/08 Fri
  • Just to update -- this vendor did reimburse / credit me three times, out of the four charges. The one charge I do believe is legit, so all is taken care of. My bank was prepared in case, but it wasn't needed. (NT) -- Robin, 13:15:35 01/30/08 Wed

      • Perhaps alternate. I think it's great to get dad's out there, while sometimes it'd be great to get mom's out there. I'm happy with a parent/child but then the dancer(s) may feel torn who to chose. I try to avoid that pressure on my dancer, when possible.. (NT) -- just my 2 cents, 11:21:08 01/29/08 Tue

• Sunday, Dec 16 -- webmaster (copied from an email), 19:01:26 12/15/07 Sat [3]
  Because of the possibility of inclement weather this weekend, we would like to request an RSVP from students planning to attend Class Card classes on Sunday, December 16. Between the weather and the busyness of the holiday season, we are concerned that attendance for this weekend’s classes may not be enough to warrant holding all three hours of instruction.
  
  If you plan to attend a Class Card class this weekend, kindly send an email to info@teelin.com or call 443-226-5977 before 12noon on Sunday. If there are any changes to the schedule based on replies, those changes will be posted to the Teelin website (www.teelin.com) and the School Message Board by 12:15pm on Sunday.
  
  Sunday, December 16
  
  1:00-2:00pm Basic Hard Shoe Skills & Drills
  Recommended for Levels 1-3 to develop a strong foundation in hard shoe technique. Prior hard shoe experience not required.
  
  2:00-3:00pm Intermediate Soft Shoe Skills & Drills
  Recommended for Levels 3-4, or Novice level competitors.
  
  3:00-4:00pm Advanced Soft Shoe Skills & Drills
  Recommended for Levels 4-5, or Prizewinner through Champion level competitors.
  
  Class Card classes are held at the Columbia studio. Each workshop is one punch on a Teelin Class Card, or $17 for drop-in. (Card must be punched at time of class, or drop-in fee paid.)
  
  Thank you!

• Class Card Classes -- webmaster, 09:55:54 12/09/07 Sun [1]
  Sunday, Dec 9 there are two great Class Card opportunities!
  
  1:00-2:00pm “Sock Glue” Treble Jig Workshop
  This workshop is recommended for dancers who have some hard shoe experience and are either already working on these two steps (“Sock Glue I” and “Sock Glue II”) in their class, or who know at least one other hard shoe step and would like to learn these two steps. Dancers who are performing the Sock Glue steps in competition will also greatly benefit from this workshop. Maureen will drill each skill in the steps.
  
  2:00-3:00pm Beginner and “4 Batters” Treble Jig Workshop
  Dancers who are knew to hard shoes, this is your workshop! Dancers who compete with these beginner/adv beg steps will also greatly benefit from this opportunity to drill each skill within the steps. Participants need not have prior hard shoe experience for this class, but should be at least Level 1 Irish.
  
  Class Card classes are held at the Columbia studio. Each workshop is one punch on a Teelin Class Card, or $17 for drop-in. (Card must be punched at time of class, or drop-in fee paid.)

  Just when you think, you will never see Maureen perform in a “Kung Fu – Blue Grass – Percussive Dance” genre B-movie…
  
  And then it happens!
  
  Will Irish Dance ever be able to defend itself against the “quadruple double double”?
  
  Will Maureen ever get the noodles out her solo dress?
  
  And what’s with the guy in the roller skates?
  
  Check out your TCRG in a Youtube Movie! You’ll never look at her the same way again!
