- FYI to all dancers and their families! -- LGE, Tue, November 08 2016, 8:20:59
Hi All,
As promised, we're keeping you up to date on the latest American Paddy's Productions:)
Coming up on December 3, 2016 is the 5th Annual Performance of An American Celtic Christmas!! There are two performances at the Bensalem High School - 3:00pm and 7:00pm
Super exciting news this year is Aidan Garvey and Miriam Lee, both of whom currently tour internationally with Riverdance, have choreographed a few dances specifically for An American Celtic Christmas.
This has become Philadelphia's most anticipated holiday show; a family friendly tradition for thousands of families in the Philadelphia area. Your support at last spring’s Philadelphia Fleadh was fantastic and we would love to have you celebrate the holidays with us at An American Celtic Christmas as well.
As a thank you for being involved with us, we have set up a discount code for you and your families for 25% off tickets until Thanksgiving (Discount is for on-line purchases only). Use the code “DANCE’ at checkout to get your discount! We're hoping a lot of your dancers will love the show and wish to be a part of it in the years to come. (**We’ll keep you posted on auditions for next year's show after the new year**)
Here’s a bit about the show:
An American Celtic Christmas features live rock, dance and Irish music combined with traditional and modern dancing, a state of the art light show, as well as a visit from Santa Clause. Featuring the Celtic Rock Orchestra consisting of Jamison Celtic Rock, Kim Killen, John Byrne, Ray Coleman, Sean Hicks, Bob Hurst, Dan Schram and Laura Ziccardi.
Dance performances by Bucks County Dance Center, Celtic Flame School of Irish Dance & select dances performed by World Champion dancers from WIDA and choreographed by Aidan Garvey and Miriam Lee of the International production of Riverdance!
Irish apparel vendors, food and The Claddagh Fund will be on site so plan on doing some Christmas shopping!
A portion of the proceeds will benefit the Bensalem Education Foundation and the Ryan K. Wilson Scholarship Fund.
For more information and tickets visit www.AnAmericanCelticChristmas.com
Nollaig Shona! (Merry Christmas!)

Hi everyone,
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 Máirtín de Cógáin, you won't want to miss this energetic and entertaining performance.”
http://www.annenbergcenter.org/event/cherish-the-ladies-friends
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 week’s 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

- 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!!!
