| Spotlight On: Erin M Hi, my name is Erin. I just turned 13 years old and am in the 7th grade at Martha Brown Middle School. I have been dancing for about eight years and have enjoyed each year very much. My favorite things about Irish Dancing are the friends I’ve made and dancing for others. I love going to dance outs and performing for the audience. It makes me feel good when I can put a smile on another’s face. I also look forward to class each week to improve. Kathleen and Amanda are great teachers and I always have fun in class. I have an older brother, Matt, who enjoys showing his Irish heritage too! He plays the guitar and piano and tries other various instruments including the penny whistle. I also have two friendly dogs named Lucy and Peppermint Patty. Patty is eight and Lucy is one. We named both of them after the characters from Charlie Brown and the Peanuts by Charles Schwartz, which is a family favorite. When I am not dancing I like to play the piano, hang out with my friends, go shopping, cook, sew and knit or some other craft. In the summertime I enjoy working in my garden! In school my favorite subject is Spanish. It is my first year taking a foreign language and I absolutely love it! My other favorite class in school is choir. My school recently had a musical, Bye Bye Birdie, and I was in the Crew and got to create the costumes and also worked at the make-up station. I have so much fun dancing and I always will! |
