DRAGON ROYALTY

 

WELCOME TO MY IRISH DANCING

DRAGON REALM

My name is Kate Carr and I'm an Irish Dancer from the McElligott School of Irish Dance in Phoenix, Arizona.  I've been dancing since November 1994.  My teacher is Heather Sparks.  Heather is the greatest teacher... all of us love her...

My Solo Costume design is from Celtic Image/England and as you can see.. It's DRAGONS!!! 

I just love Irish Dancing and I truly love my Dragon Solo Costume.  The green used in my dress is Irish Wool and it was given to me by my grandparents.  What is really cool is that the material was bought in Ireland in June 1970 by my grandparents.  Apparently my Nana wanted to have a pantsuit made out of it and she never got around to it.  BOY!  I am so glad she didn't....

The other material used was Royal Purple Velvet, Royal Gold Satin, and lined cooper lame for underneath the dress.  My dragons are white with shinny metallic specs plus rhinestones were added to make them look like scales.  The cuffs are made from the green wool and have fire dragons on them. The shield has the bodice pattern design on it.  The final touch to the dress was the rhinestones (over 300 - small & extra small).  We added a strand of rhinestones to the tiara, collar and shield.

My final adjustments were completed by June 2001, just in time because I made it into Preliminary Championships in July 2001.
