About Me

(Aubree, EireLibra, Riana, Bree, Aubs, Hey Redhead, and Aubee-ga {my dad,lol})

This page contains a bit of info about me, although that makes it well... the most boring page on my entire site... what can ya do?...Ü

my stats: I am 25 years old, 5.5", and I have red hair (wait, I am NOT a redhead!!!!) and hazel-green eyes. I'm a Ravenclaw. I come from a family of 8 and I am the oldest. We have lived in Utah for about 9 years, and yup, you guessed it, I am a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints

This is me and my New Husband, Bryce. We were married on November 26th, 2004 in the Manti, Utah Temple. He is from American Fork Utah, and graduated in Composite Science Teaching from BYU in December of 2004. He is so funny, full of life, and has been and will always be my favorite dance partner. We met through the BYU folkdancers!

You can see pics of us on our Family Gallery.

I Graduated in April 2006 from Brigham Young University. I graduated with a Bachelors degree in Music Education, with a minor in World Dance. I play the Violin and Viola
I was also a member of the Brigham Young University International Folk Dance Ensemble Performing Arts Company. Two summers ago, I was able to tour Belgium, France, and Switzerland and perform for so many people... it was wonderful!
I went to Snow College for my first two years, and one of the neatest things I got to do was choreograph the dance scene for the fall semester play, Dancing at Lughnasa!

Stuff about me:
I like, no, LOVE Anything Irish, Drawing celtic knotwork, designing solo dresses, painting portraits of Irish Dancers, Playing Irish Fiddle and classical violin, Cooking crepes, listening to... you got it, celtic music, learning new instruments, and having fun! I also adore the internet, working on this, my 3-year old webpage, has been one of my favorite labors of love.
I like Purple and Green, Spaghetti, avocado, chocolate, Dido, Enya, Ashley MacIsaac, and classic novels and movies of the Austen persuasion.

My roomate gave me a copy of Lord of the Rings to read before the movie came out, and I LOVE IT!! JRR Tolkien is my fave author now, and I adore all the characters from the movie.

Irish Dance Profile

I dance at a non-certified school, but I didn't start that way. I started at 6, I was taking ballet in the upper room of a dance studio in Northern California. My sister would go downstairs and watch the irish dancers while waiting for me, and she joined. When I got sick of plies, I joined too. It was the Deely School of Irish Dance, and we took there for 5 years. I don't remember much about it, and all I have is a ziploc baggie of medals and a few performances to remember it by, but I knew I loved to dance, and I knew that the teacher wanted me in that year's Oireachtas. But we moved.
New Mexico had no irish dance when we arrived, so we pretty much chalked up to quitting forever. We stayed there for 4 years, then moved to Utah.
I was really thinking about joining again. I missed the dance. So we looked around and all we found was the McTeggarts, which, according to my mother, was too far away and too expensive. But then one day I was talking to my Cousin, a ballet dancer, and she told me there was irish dance at her studio on saturdays. I was then 16, when I joined Rinceoiri Don Spraoi (dancing for fun), a non-certified school, in fact, the oldest non-cert in Utah. And what's more, there was a certified Irish dancer teaching, and looked so familiar... she had taken with the Deely school too! She eventually graduated from college and left, and we had a long line of cert and non-cert dancers as teachers. Eventually, due to "civil wars" and such, I ended up as the Head Teacher of the school, for about 10 months. Then I had to go to college. But I had by then met lots of dancers online, learned that I was "Un-certified" and had to cope with it, went to the McTeggart school and was kicked out because I was from RDS, went as a counselor to Camp Rince Ceol, Met a dancer in CA who let me come to her class a couple times and see the Oireachtas with her, and the like.
I've finally started competing! Lisa Power Steinmetz TCRG is my teacher, and our school is the Power Academy of Irish Dance. Eventually I want to study for my TCRG and be co-teachers with her.
I am extremely involved in Irish Dance and culture here in Utah, I can probably answer any question you may have about Celtic Culture or any dance school in Utah.

A passion that has expanded from Irish Step dance is Folk dances from all over... currently, as a result of BYU classes, I have learned dances from Scotland, Ireland, Bulgaria, Mexico, Ukraine, India, Israel, China, South Africa and even *gasp* clogging!!
As part of my collegiate experience at BYU, I got to teach Irish Step Dance within the World Dance Division in BYU's Department of Dance. I love teaching college students- they're actually focused and really trying to do well. But my true love is teaching kids Irish Dance. I can't wait until I'm certified and can teach!
