Celebrate America

This past week was a very busy week for Kiley. An Tùs Nua was asked to be apart of the production, Celebrate America, this last week. It was the 15th anniversary of the production. This year they took a look back at America. They started with the immigrants coming to America and all the opportunity they had here, then went through the depression, to WWII and then ended in the 1950's. They had an Irish immigrant who talked about coming to America and the about their dancing. An Tùs Nua was asked to represent the Irish dancers. Kiley's dance teacher asked her if she would do a solo and then the Troupe would come out and do their dance. They had performances September 2-6. That's a lot of performances. They did awesome and got better every night. Kiley did such a great job. It was held in the ball room at the Tagert student center at USU. The first two nights were student outreach to the music programs around the valley. Then they had a dinner, show and dance after the show. The last two nights it looked like they had sold out. We stayed and watched the show on Friday. Isaac came with me so he could see it. He really liked it. The money that was raised went to the Utah Honor Flight. Kiley had such a fun time. I'm so happy she has had so many wonderful opportunities through Irish dance.
