25.01.2022 AIDA Queensland QLD Premierships 2020 Final results, our fabulous 15 & Overs: June competed in her second ever competition, overcoming nerves to take home a Premiership Award in the Adults Premiership and her first sash! It takes guts to get up and dance on the stage as an adult beginner- hats off to you and your commitment, June!... Sally represented our senior ladies in the 16& Over Open Reserve Premiership, finishing with 5th place overall! Great final result to finish off the year! Melora danced three strong rounds and earned herself a spot on the blocks- runner-up, 2nd place overall in her Intermediate Premiership! Fantastic to see all those extra stamina steps in class paid off! So great to see you all supporting each other and enjoying the experience together, sharing your love of Irish Dance with your QIA Family #weloveirishdancing #qiafamily #blackandbluearmy #qiadancers #irishdance #covidsafefeis #qldpremiership2020

22.01.2022 MAY FEIS MEMORIES Calling all dancers, retired dancers, families, teachers and adjudicators, we need your help to create a page of story, photo and video memories of the May Feis over the past years... here: https://www.facebook.com/May-Feis-Memories-with-QIA-Dancers-109221310771492/ Hi All,... Unfortunately we are not in a position to run our 59th May Feis this weekend as we normally would. At this stage we are not cancelling the Feis but postponing, in the hope that we might be able to hold the Feis later in the year. Given that this would be the time that we would be doing the last preparations and gearing up for the Feis on the weekend we thought we would take the opportunity to at least come together with the dancing community and celebrate the May Feis through Social Media. We would love you to dig through your photo albums and contribute with May Feis photos and/or memories. And please share this link with your Dancers and Families as well so that we can remember some of the fantastic times spent together over the years. Thanks Kate on behalf of the QIA Team

21.01.2022 It's pretty exciting when you get to bring both of your little sisters to dancing class and they get to do warm up jumps with you With back to back feis weekends, we can't forget our littlest dancers who are still working hard in class! #beginnersaregrinners #futurechampions #itallstartshere #qiafamily #blackandbluearmy #qiadancers #irishdance

21.01.2022 Our smiley, giggly, excited 8 years olds getting some back stage wisdom from teacher Kate before their competition debuts at the QLD Premierships #qiafamily #blackandbluearmy #qiadancers #weloveirishdancing #backstagechats

21.01.2022 Happy inaugural International Irish Dance Day from some of our Wednesday night classes It's half way to St Patrick's Day, what a brilliant time to celebrate this sport, art, cultural activity, hobby and passion we all love so much!! We hope you are all dancing somewhere, where ever you are #InternationalIrishDanceDay #IIDD #IIDD2020 #weloveirishdancing #irishdance #unitedthroughdance

20.01.2022 This perfectly rolled roll of flooring during today's pack up just had to be captured (as it will never happen again!! )... well done to Tara and Kathleen, rolling wizards of the day #qiadancers #qiafamily #blackandbluearmy #onetimeonly #harlequinfloor

19.01.2022 Our lovely, hard working Lucy dedicated her weekend to back to back feising, competing both Saturday and Sunday at Feis Lúnasa, Brisbane!! Congrats Lucy, all your practise is paying off #dedication #hardworkpaysoff #socialdisdancing #qiafamily #blackandbluearmy #qiadancers #irishdance

19.01.2022 It was absolutely wonderful to have Katie back teaching with us this weekend after her maternity break- we've missed you Katie! However, Katie's return may have been overshadowed by the celebrity who also joined us, the first of many Saturday classes for baby Vivienne Our little New Beginners couldn't get enough of her!!

19.01.2022 Lest We Forget #LightUpTheDawn #AnzacAtHome #standforthem #ANZACspirit

17.01.2022 Happy belated Father's Day to all our QIA Dads Thank you for all you do for your dancer to allow them to pursue their passion for Irish Dancing (even if that means sitting at feis on Father's Day!!!). #fathersday2020 #dancedads #qiafamily #blackandbluearmy #qiadancers #irishdance

17.01.2022 Happy Mother's Day to all our QIA Mums Thank you for everything you do because we know that behind every dancer is an amazing mum!!

17.01.2022 Congratulations to our 7 dancers who competed in the first feis for 2020- Lucy, Hannah, Ryan, Declan, Tara, Kiri and Sally. How wonderful to see you all back up on stage, doing your thing (while socially distancing of course!!). In what has so far been a tough year to remain focused, fit and motivated, you all did yourselves and QIA proud! #qiadancers #qiafamily #blackandbluearmy #covidsafefeis #socialdisdancing

17.01.2022 AIDA Queensland QLD Premierships 2020 Our 13 & 14year olds rocked Day 2: Hannah danced beautifully and took home a well deserved 2nd place overall in her Primary Premiership. She also debuted her first ever Intermediate dance with confidence!... Keeleigh came out firing in all 3 rounds to take the top spot on the podium, winner of her Open Reserve Premiership! It's great when that extra effort pays off!! Congratulations ladies, what a fantastic way to end the competitive year! Onwards and upwards, we're very proud and know you have many more great things in store for next year! #weloveirishdancing #qiafamily #blackandbluearmy #qiadancers #irishdance #covidsafefeis #qldpremiership2020

16.01.2022 Better late than never... Monday was International Best Friends Day 2020 & here at QIA Dancers we are chock full of friendships (and we all know dancing friends are the best kind of friends you can have!!) #internationalbestfriendsday2020 #dancingfriends #qiadancers #qiafamily #blackandbluearmy

13.01.2022 And to continue the stretching theme! Need more turnout... do these 5 stretches!

12.01.2022 It is with sadness that we confirm CLRG's official cancellation of the 2020 50th Anniversary World Championships in Dublin. We must acknowledge our four amazing Worlds campaign dancers, Declan, Tara, Daniel and Kathleen, who have been awaiting this official cancellation with heavy hearts. This has been a bitterly disappointing and abrupt end to their months of dedication, intense training and sacrifices in other areas of their lives. They have devoted their time and energy... to being the best dancers they can be, both as soloists and as an elite 4-hand team We also have to commend these role model dancers on their response to the disheartening news, supporting each other, staying positive and rallying to make the best of a lousy situation. It is obvious to all how much you love to dance and we know this setback will not put a damper on your passion We know these hours of training will not go to waste though, we know this will just be the beginning of their Worlds 2021 journey as they work towards a bigger, better, stronger, sharper 2021. Onwards and upwards- the dance will go on! Thanks and appreciation must also go to our teachers, Katie and Kate, for their dedication to training, pushing, encouraging, challenging and supporting these dancers to reach their potential Special mention to Kate Hartley who spent many extra hours training with these four to help them be both physically and mentally prepared for the World Championships. Declan, Tara, Daniel and Kathleen- as a QIA Family, we want you know how immensely proud we are of you. So proud of how you have worked and how you will go on to represent QIA Dancers

11.01.2022 What a fabulous opportunity to come out of the restrictions and changes of 2020! Open to all our current dancers, and to those in our community who haven't tried Irish Dancing yet. Get the word out to your friends and family, there's something for everyone

09.01.2022 On Saturdays we practise social distancing We are spoilt for space at the Mary Mac Hall in Annerley, plenty of room for everyone to spread out and still get their weekly dancing fix #dancethroughthistogether #thedancegoeson #qiafamily

08.01.2022 AIDA Queensland QLD Premierships 2020 Our 11 & 12 year olds shone on Day 1: Isabella competed in her first ever feis and took home 3rd overall- trophy, sash, up on the blocks... the works!! What a brilliant start to your competitive career Bella!... Abby also took home a coveted top 3 spot in her premiership, with 3rd overall! She debuted some new dances too! Lucy was awarded 3rd place for her efforts in Open Reserve! She even managed to keep her stamina and performance up despite being in the last section of the day after a LONG delay!! Juliette was the overall winner of her Premiership! We wish we had photographic evidence of the huge, surprised grin on Juliette's face when she realised she'd won Congratulations So lovely to see how you supported and encouraged each other during the session, what a delightful group of young ladies Well done to each of you! P.S. Sending our best wishes to Adela who has been unwell and was unable to compete #futurechampions #dancingfriends #weloveirishdancing #qiafamily #blackandbluearmy #qiadancers #irishdance #covidsafefeis #qldpremiership2020

02.01.2022 Social distancing in classes is no longer enough, we are now following the latest public health advice to keep our dancers, families and teachers safe and have sadly had to suspend classes for now. Our committee and teaching team will be looking at options to deliver online content to keep our dancers dancing through this uncertain time. As a QIA Family we will stay strong, connected and positive, and most importantly we will KEEP DANCING!! #thedancewillgoon #dancethroughthistogether #youcanttakethedanceoutofthedancer #qiafamily
