Halloween is coming and so the Autumn/Winter fashions are here.

Word on the street is that Black and its sister Violet are 2 of the most prominent shades this season.

Trade in your summery floral prints and candy-coloured clothes and go NOIR.

Thinking of a new costume?  Could you see yourself in Black or Violet?  Definitely would get you noticed! 

Or what about that new out fit for your next big Feis?  You must have a few Inky pieces in your wardrobe that would make you look just FAB!

What's cool for September?

Stephen Walker's Cd "Feisworld" is certainly hot stuff.

If you haven't heard it, you are missing out.  This young lad has produced some of the liveliest, funkiest reels you'll ever dance to.

And he should know his stuff, for Stephen not only is an accomplished musician and composer but he is himself a DANCER and knows what dancers want.

Stephen is currently touring the United States with Michael Flatley's new show, "CELTIC TIGER".

Snap up a copy of Stephen Walker's "FEISWORLD" at the idanceirish shop now.  Don't miss it.  It'll have you bouncing higher than ever before.  Great to get all the dancers in the class going.  Surprise your teacher and bring it to class so everyone gets a pleasant boost!

Great Stephen, we love it. 

 Keeva says ....

 do you remember your dances?

 don't turn up to class having forgotten your steps.

 do you have your dancing gear ready?

 don't be left wearing last years fashions, remember you're a diva - set the trend with the new idi gear.

 do Kiva the Diva's fitness challenge. (coming next month)

 don't cheat

 do Harry Potter! ( a great read when you're not practising)

The Diva’s Dos and Don’ts for the summer months:

Keeva says DO:

• Take a well earned rest from all that serious practise now that the long summer evenings have arrived.
• Enjoy the summer sun and look fab in your latest summer gear. Trendy Sunglasses and flat, fun flip flops are a must for a ‘chill out’ day at the beach.
• Spare a thought for all the Southern Hemisphere Divas. Winter is upon them, Jumpers and sweaters must be worn and homework and dance class must be attended to. No long days at the beach for our Down Under Divas.

Keeva Says DON’T:

• Loose that valuable dance stamina. Remember to keep active and use your free time to try out a new sport. Swimming, running and cycling or all great out door sports and when you start your serious dance practise again, you’ll be fitter than ever.
• Burn your skin when you’re outside in the sun. Pink and peeling is not funky. Be cool and follow the SUNSMART code:
  Slip: Into some loose fitting clothing
  Slap: On a hat and a pair of sunnies
  Slop: On some sun screen. SPF 15 and above is best. 
• Forget it’s winter in Australia, New Zealand and South Africa. Our Southern Hemisphere Divas are settling in for the rain and the wind. School and Dance class is in full flight for them.
