Hi families,
A reminder that 2 dance outs are coming up in May! See below & the updated Sign up genius at this link for details:
https://m.signupgenius.com/#!/showSignUp/70a0548aea729a7fc1-stpatricks
The 1st is a dance out at Doylestown library at 12:20pm on Saturday May 11 at their family friendly 1st annual art festival!
I also added the Doylestown Memorial Day parade on Monday May 27th as a dance out. If we have 10 or less kids, we will march with our friends at the AOH! I need to give the AOH a rough head count soon and it will help us plan too. Parade lineup is at 8am and parade starts at 10am. I will be there to help organize and will coordinate schedules with our teachers & parents in advance. Its great visibility for our school!
Thank you!

Please sign up for our upcoming dance-outs! Check the Signup Genius and check it often for any possible time changes - 'tis the season! Here's the link: https://www.signupgenius.com/go/70a0548aea729a7fc1-stpatricks
What is a "dance out"? It is your dancer's chance to perform with Ryan-Kilcoyne for local St. Patrick's Day celebration events, and venues vary each year, from assisted living residences, to restaurants, churches, and schools. ALL dancers are welcome and encouraged to participate in dance outs!
Check the SignUpGenius, and check it often for ongoing additions and any possible time changes. Dance outs marked as TIME TBD are very likely to change as the date gets closer.
Many dance outs will occur on St. Patrick's Day, Sunday March 17, but events will also occur throughout the month of March in Doylestown and Newtown/Richboro. At least 5 dancers make a dance out; we need your help to achieve this!
Each event will have a teacher or experienced dancer's parent there to run the event. After you sign up, they will contact you to coordinate. Please contact Margaret Mayorga (Fiona M's mom) with questions, at mmayorga77@gmail.com or at 215-478-2543.

- Garden State feis / Marie Moore feis, March 3 -- Margaret Mayorga, Thu, January 31 2019, 2:28:37
Hi all,
Several of our dancers will be competing at the Garden State feis hosted by Marie Moore School on Sunday March 3 in Kennilworth, NJ.
Late fees ($10 per dance, per late payment & per change ) for registration begin this Saturday Feb 2 and registration ends Feb 8, so consider signing up now if you are interested.
Sign ups are on https://feisweb.com and you must first log in to your account or create a profile if you’ve never used feisweb before. It is $10 per dance , $20 family fee, and $2 Feisweb fee. Our experience has been very good with this local feis compared to others. Parking can be tricky so carpooling is encouraged. Most of our dancers are Beginner through Novice level and so solo costumes are NOT needed (for girls, that means no fancy dresses needed).
If you need help or have questions, please reach out!
Margaret (Fiona’s mom)

To sell them, throw them in a ziplock bag, label the bag or use an index card, and write size of shoe, brand, your name , phone, and an asking price. Talk to Christina or Molly if you need guidance on an asking price.
In particular, we have dancers in need of approx a size 3 and size 6 hard shoe if anyone has these to sell?

Thank you!!!

- June dance out opportunities -- Margaret M, Fri, June 01 2018, 7:25:35
Hi all,
Please let me know if you would like to join Seamus Kelleher this Sunday June 3 around 2-3pm for a dance out at the Dubliner, 34 North Main St, New Hope, PA. Last month he hosted several of our younger dancers there at his Sunday jam session and really made them feel welcome! Soft shoe only. Reservations are recommended.
I was disappointed we didn't get to Peddlers Village in May due to the crummy weather - so please hold Saturday or Sunday June 23-24, for their Summer Food & Music Festival as our next attempt at a dance out there once again - will forward the details as it gets closer for anyone interested. Once again it will be weather dependent , since it would be outside on the walkway in front of the Celtic Rose gift shop. Please stay tuned!
Margaret

May 16, 2018, at 9:59 PM
Subject: Re: Ryan-Kilcoyne - May dance out opportunities
Hi all,
Following up on my note from last month regarding Saturday May 19 dance out at Peddler’s Village - was going to target between 1-2pm to dance, but as of now the weather is looking rainy/drizzly for Saturday and unfortunately we are weather dependant for it, since the area where the kids would dance is outside on the walkway.
Also my apologies, but there is a good chance I may have to be out of town unexpectedly.
So, I will email again to confirm status no later than Friday eve. Might be best to hold off till their next festival, if its not too hot out for us.
Sorry and thank you,
Margaret (Fiona M’s mom)

- Dance out Sunday 3pm, May 6 Dubliner Restaurant New Hope PA -- Margaret M., Thu, April 26 2018, 10:53:56
Hi all,
On Sunday May 6 please join us at the Dubliner Restaurant , 34 North Main St in New Hope at 3pm for a dance out during a break at Seamus Kelleher’s jam session.
Soft shoes only, and class costume or the simpler black/green outfits are fine if you have it, no need for solo costumes unless that is what your dancer has or prefers to wear.
This jam session goes 2-5pm , and 3pm just seems logical, but if you need flexibility with the time, please let me know.
If you plan to go and havent yet let me know, please reply to this. So far 5 younger dancers’ families expressed interest and would love to have more in case of last minute cancels.
This location has metered parking, on the street or in lots on West and East Randolph St a block away, as detailed on their website below:
http://www.thedublinernewhope.com/new-page/
Interestingly, the owner of this restaurant, Robert Lynch, a native of Ireland, is the son of famous Irish musician Bob Lynch, of the renowned Irish folk group “The Dubliners” - hence the name of the restaurant - He welcomed us to join Seamus anytime! If theres interest, there will be another event just like this one on June 3.
Sláinte!
Margaret (Fiona M.’s mom)

- May dance-out opportunities -- Margaret, Fri, April 13 2018, 6:14:35
Hi all,
Please hold the dates for 2 possible dance out opportunities coming up for May :
1) Sunday May 6- Seamus Kelleher, hosts a fun jam session (2-5pm) with other local musicians Sunday May 6 at the Dubliner Restaurant in New Hope - our dancers can perform during a break, maybe around 3pm (time of dancing is flexible.) Soft shoes only, at owner’s request (new floors).
2) Tentative: Saturday May 19, Peddlers Village, Lahaska, Strawberry festival, time is TBD. Location is once again on or near the patio in front of Earl’s restaurant, and just outside the Celtic Rose Irish gift shop. Patio/walkway is brick (I think), so soft shoes may be best. This event is a family friendly fun day out, is rain or shine but, would be best for us if we get good weather:
http://www.peddlersvillage.com/festivals/strawberry-festival
If you are interested in either, please let me know!
As an aside, our friends at Doylestown AOH invited us to parade with them in Doylestown Memorial day weekend, but many of us (including me) will be out of town unfortunately. Our dancers really blew them away with their performance on St Pats - So congrats to those who attended - hoping we can put a great group together for the parade next year, and that AOH continues to reach out for visible, family friendly events around town.
Thank you!
Margaret (Fiona M’s mom)

- Dance-out opportunity at The Dubliner, Friday, April 6th -- Margaret, Thu, April 05 2018, 1:30:58
Hi all,
Seamus Kelleher, a local Doylestown Irish musician and Galway native, plays this Fri at 8pm at The Dubliner on the Delaware Restaurant in New Hope. During St Patrick’s day week, he warmly welcomed our dancers to perform during a break at any of his shows. His website is here:
http://www.seamusk.com/bio/
I was going to attend Fri but now we have a conflict. If you want to attend, please let me know and maybe we could get a group together. They requested no hard shoes (new floor).
Or, if this is something of interest to you, even if not for this Fri, it may become a sporadic year round opportunity at various venues locally (typically restaurants) for our dancers, so I will email ahead of time for anyone who would like to join.
Peddlers Village similarly welcomed our dancers to perform at any of their year round festivals. I will be keeping an eye on these as they have many well attended events. I would like to gauge interest in this kind of thing so feel free to reach out if it is.
Thank you!
Margaret (Fiona M.’s mom)

I know this is last minute but Christina was wondering if anyone was interested in a school outing to Cherish the Ladies who will be performing (singing and dancing) at The Annenburg Performing Arts Center (Zellerbach Theatre) at The University of Pennsylvania on April 2nd at 8pm. Some information about the program:
Cherish the Ladies commemorates the centennial of Easter Rising, the epic struggle for Irish freedom, through their signature blend of instrumental talent, beautiful vocals and spirited arrangements. Joined by special guests Dermot Henry, Danny Doyle, Gabriel Donohue, Rory Makem and Mirtn de Cgin, you won't want to miss this energetic and entertaining performance.

Video: https://youtu.be/XfaNYgDsnrI
Group tickets have been arranged, priced at $15 per person (and no ticketing fees). Tickets must be reserved by Monday, March 21st and payments should be made at this weeks class. It is understood that this is very short notice, but if you are interested please let us know. For Pennsylvania families contact Erin Chiaravalloti at 551-655-2158 (cell) or erinmalo@yahoo.com.

- Missing soft shoes from Newtown class -- Erin Chiaravalloti, Wed, October 07 2015, 12:34:15
Hi-
I was just wondering if by chance anyone pick up a pair of size 12 soft shoes (Fay's) off the back table at the end of class? Lillian left hers on the table and when she was collecting her items she couldn't find them! They are very worn and have blue insoles which are falling out. Please let me know as Lillian needs them, especially since the feis is Saturday!
Thanks so much.
-Erin

Also, if your entry has been deleted for non-payment (I think many received this message today), it will be restored upon receipt of payment by Kathleen Franklin.

- Items for Sale Reminder -- Katie's Mom, Thu, June 25 2015, 13:31:01
Just wish to put out a reminder to families thinking about purchasing a new dress.
Please check our website, under the Items for Sale tab, to see some of the beautiful dresses that members of the Ryan-Kilcoyne family need to sell. There are quite a few dresses there that are appropriate for many of our dancers, that are gorgeous, have incredible stage presence, and reputation & would help out the family that is selling it.
Yes, this is a plug as I have a dress to sell, actually two as Katie just received her new Gavin, but I was very impressed with our selection and pricing.
Check it out if you are in the market!
Happy Summer to Everyone!!!
