25.01.2022 This was to be the weekend of the Victorian State Championship. Sadly, 2020 had a different plan. We will instead spend our weekend, safe in our homes, and remember the excitement of that very first time. We will also look to the future and prepare for the next time. We wish all the dancers, members and families of AIDA Victoria the very best during these difficult times. Stay safe, stay home and keep dancing. #teammcaleer #wewillbeback #aidavic #aidavicunites...

21.01.2022 This week, we should have all been together at the National Championships in Perth. To simply put it, 2020 had a different plan. We have missed out on a lot. We miss our friends. We miss the teamwork. We miss the Irish Dancing community. This week we couldn’t be more proud of our dancers, as they enter the 7 month of online classes. They have handled every challenge with determination and a smile on their face. To everyone one across Australia, we can’t wait to see you soon. 2021 we are coming for you and we simply can’t wait! #teammcaleer2020 #aidiainc #friendship #teamworkmakesthedreamwork #community

10.01.2022 Tuesday July 7th was a tough day. Once again, due to restrictions and advice now in place, we have closed our studio doors after two wonderful days of classes. We are truly heartbroken by this news and bitterly disappointed that we can’t proceed as we had all hoped. We are very proud of all our teachers, students and their families, and how you all handled this challenge the first time. We know we can do it again and make it through another period of time apart. For now, we... will take a little break, get some rest and determine the best way forward. Our top priority has and always will be the health and happiness of all of Team McAleer. We urge everyone to stay home, stay safe and stay positive. Miss you already See more
