MANX OPEN 2009
Scoill Daunse Yernagh Ellan Vannin &
The Western School of Dance
Are proud to present for the first time ever in the Islands History, an Irish Dancing Feis. This event is to attract many Irish, UK and European Irish dancers to the Island. For many it will be their first time on our beautiful Isle and it promises to be a great event for all on the Isle of Man to enjoy. Our own Irish dancers on the Isle of Man have themselves competed in Ireland and between seven of them they have managed to bring home trophies and over forty medals from only two Feisanna, what a great achievement not only for them but The Isle of Man. As Scoill Daunse Yernagh Ellan Vannin is bringing for the first time an event that shows not only fantastic dancing but something that can be enjoyed by all from all ages, we hope that the whole Island will be behind us for this event. Since the success of “Riverdance”Irish dance has really exploded into the world. The “World Irish Dance Association”has made it accessible for all, without the great cost and overindulgence which many associations within Irish dance has come to think of as normal. This of course stops many children and adults from dancing thinking it being far to expensive. “WIDA”is for everyone and is about the Dancing and true Celtic roots,it promotes true love for Irish Dance, Music and Language. ANYONE CAN DO IT……AND THAT’S WHAT WE ARE PROMOTING…..
