Excellence in Teaching Award Winners

Irish Dancing Magazine Announces 2021 Award Recipients 

 

30th July 2021 - Irish Dancing Magazine is proud to announce the award-winning recipients of the 2021 Irish Dancing Teacher Awards. The global search recognizes excellence in teaching by honoring extraordinary dance teachers.

In the spring of 2021, Irish Dancing Magazine opened the nomination process to dancers, parents, and industry professionals to nominate dance teachers with qualities that reflect a standard of excellence that goes beyond competitive results.

IDTANA Awards Scholarships

The pandemic affected many things, even scholarship programs for university students. But the Irish Dance Teachers Association (IDTANA) did not disappoint and forged ahead with their annual scholarship program, awarding a spectacular $22,500 worth of academic scholarships to worthy students.

University education in the US is one of the highest in the world. The average cost of tuition and fees for the 2020–2021 school year was $41,411 at private colleges and $11,171 for in-state residents at public colleges according to data reported by U.S. News. Add room, board, and incidentals, multiply this by the four or five years it takes for most students to earn their degree, and it is easy to see that a small fortune is needed to earn a college degree. With their scholarship program, the IDTANA seeks to ease this burden and reward Irish Dancers who excel both on and off the stage.

Healthy feet are essential to the success of an Irish Dancer but often get omitted from the dancer’s body care routine. With the prospect of summer dance camps upon us, and getting back into competition, it is incredibly important to take care of your feet! 

With the busy pace of life, it can be easy to overlook certain health-related to-dos. From putting off appointments to forgoing parts of your self-care routine, weeks and months can pass before we remember to tend to these concerns.

With personal care infrequency, the consequences can result in more of a problem than anticipated. This is especially true with certain aspects of our health. Irish Dancing Magazine reveals four areas of your health that you should never ignore in order to look and feel your best.
