CELEBRATING 50 YEARS OF THE QIA DANCERS

2008 marks the 50 year anniversary of the Queensland Irish Association Dancers.  The period 1958 to the present has seen many significant changes in Irish Dancing throughout the world. 

The QIA Dancers have certainly been at the forefront of this marvellous evolution, not only here in Queensland and Australia but overseas in Ireland and Brittany where our dancers have performed on behalf of the QIA.  They certainly remain an integral part of life within the Club and are great ambassadors for our proud traditions whenever they perform.

As a result of the truly positive response received from Members, past dancers and a large cross section of people involved in Irish Dancing across Queensland and nationally, we are pleased to announce the date for our 50 year celebration is Saturday 25 October at Tara House. 

The celebration will commence with an afternoon tea followed by formal proceedings including items from our Dancers and Pipe Band together with contributions from past teachers, adjudicators and people involved in the QIA Dancers attaining 50 years of promoting and teaching Irish Dancing in Queensland.

At the conclusion of the formal segment, “Murphy’s Pigs” will ensure that a great night of dancing, music and Craic continues until late.  A small entry fee will be charged to cover expenses.  Bar and dining services will be available during the function. 

People willing to offer memorabilia for the function or wishing to register their interest and become part of our mailing list can do so by emailing qiadancers@yahoo.com.au or by post to:
