4. Killarney National Park: Covering 26,000 acres, this park in County Kerry boasts beautiful lakes, mountains, woodlands and man-made attractions like Muckross House and Ross Castle.

5. Trinity College and the Book of Kells: Located in the heart of Dublin, Trinity College is home to the Book of Kells, a beautifully illuminated manuscript from the Middle Ages and one of Ireland’s most important historical treasures.

Irish Dancing Inspired A Mother and Daughter to launch their dream

Shannon and Coco’s Story

When Shannon was younger, she had a deep love for dance. Hours were spent in her room, moving to her favorite tunes, even though she never tried Irish dancing herself. 

She vividly recalls the excitement of watching performances like Riverdance on TV and being captivated by talents like Natalie MacMaster when she performed in her town.

As time passed, adulthood brought its own set of responsibilities and demands, and Shannon reluctantly set aside her dancing passion. Work and other obligations left her with little time for personal pursuits.

However, a turning point arrived when her daughter, Coco, enthusiastically embraced Irish dancing. 

Coco’s dedication and passion for the art filled Shannon with pride and inspiration. She realized that she wanted to support her daughter’s journey and began searching for suitable Irish dance attire.

Shannon soon discovered that finding cute and appealing Irish dance-inspired clothing was a challenging task. Most options were either too plain or overly adorned with embellishments. She yearned for something that would ignite Coco’s enthusiasm for dance and allow her to proudly wear it to school.

The idea of establishing their own Irish dance spirit wear clothing company took shape in Shannon’s mind. She joined forces with Coco, and together they embarked on a creative journey to design clothing that would exude fun and inspiration. 

Their goal was to craft attire that would evoke excitement and passion in fellow dancers.

This shared vision gave birth to FeistyFitzy.
