The Irish Dancer’s Creed

By Eowyn

To be strong.
To be faithful.
To be true to oneself.
To look a judge in the eye and smile.
To do your best.
To be the best.
To know you are all you can be.
To practice without complaint,
And not try--Do.
To support each other when injury occurs.
To never use your arms to dance,
And stay on your toes at all times — with toes out, of course.
To not only know who you are, but what you are.
To be an Irish dancer,
In heart, mind,
Body, and spirit.

10 Things A Dancer Should Promise Him/Herself

1. To be so strong that nothing can disturb your peace of mind.
2. To speak of health, happiness, and prosperity to every person you meet.
3. To make all your friends feel that there is something wonderful in them.
4. To look at the sunny side of everything and make your dreams come true.
5. To think only of the best, to work only for the best, and expect only the best.
6. To be just as enthusiastic about the success of others as you are about your own.
7. To forget the mistakes of the past and press on to the greater achievements of the future.
8. To wear a cheerful expression at all times and give every living creature you meet a smile.
9. To give so much time to the improvement of yourself that you have no time to criticize others.
10. To be too large for worry, too noble for anger, too strong for fear and too happy to permit the presence of trouble.
