The Beginning

Oshawa, Ontario, Canada. Here, rehearsals began for 9 Irish Dancers learning the choreography for the winter/spring tour of the Echoes of Ireland. I joined the group on February 15th, 2011, with nothing but a big orange suitcase, my dance shoes, and a child-like sense of wonderment. I did not, for a second, anticipate the series of unfortunate events that emerged over the next few months.
