Dear Readers,
Believe it or not, it is time to finalise your summer plans. Check out the Camp & Summer Special on pages 20–24. We have something for everyone – whether you are a beginner, an advanced dancer or even an adult! From sleepaway camps that combine fun and dance, to serious audition opportunities, and even a one-day FEST in Ireland, there are plenty of options to explore. Plus, for those who prefer to focus on training from home, Target Training’s summer opportunity is featured as well! I must say, Destination Feis has been a huge hit with dance families. We are thrilled to be the go-to resource for identifying the best of the best each year. If you would like a glimpse of what we recommended in Q1 2025, turn to pages 30–31 for photos from a CLRG feis in Hawaii, and pages 28–29 for coverage of an An Chomhdháil feis that took place near Disney in Florida! Don’t miss the Q3 Destination Feis list on pages 33–35
You may also be surprised to find a special eight-page printed supplement included with this issue. We wanted to highlight one more exceptional cover star this month, and once you take a moment to read it, you will quickly understand why this inspiring story simply had to be shared!
