Irish tap dancing ballerina

Monica is pretty convinced she belongs on stage as a tap-dancing ballerina, so this year she is taking tap... and ballet... and Irish dance. It's possible she just likes all the shiny shoes. Honestly, we put her in a beginning Irish dance class mostly as babysitting while Catherine was in her class... and here we are on the eve of her very first feis! Little Monica, fierce competitor!

Here is a video of her dancing the reel.

Of course, Monica has benefitted greatly from the greatest of all teachers... her big sister. :)
