Our senior salute continues with the beautiful…

☀️MEGHAN BARTEL☀️

Meghan has been dancing for 15 years, 6 of which have been with Murray, and has had great solo and team success. Her most memorable accomplishments are getting 20th at her final Oireachtas, and recalling at her last NANs. When asked what she’ll miss most about Murray, Meghan said: The thing I’m going to miss most about Murray is the community. The best part about dancing is making friends that will support you and memories that will last you a lifetime, so I will definitely miss all of the girls that I’ve gotten to know and love after all of these years. Also, of course, Miss Anne and her charisma :) 💙💚

Next year, Meghan will be studying Elementary Education at High Point University!!

Say “Hello” to Maddie E, a kind and friendly 9

Say “Hello” to Maddie E, a kind and friendly 9-year-old rising 4th-grader from Brentwood. Maddie is a Novice 2 dancer who has been learning at Murray Academy for 5 years. Her favorite dance is a Reel and she loves the Irish cultural Center Championships feis because it is outdoors.
Outside of the studio, Maddie’s favorite place is Disney World! She enjoys knitting, jumping rope and eating Macaroni and Cheese!

When asked about her favorite accomplishment or memory, Maddie replies that it’s “The first time I got a first as a Novice, it was in the reel which is also my favorite dance!” Her goal going forward is “Not having noodle arms and recalling at Oireachtas for trad set.” Maddie’s a loyal Murray dancer as is evidenced by the message with which she leaves us… “My favorite colors are blue, green and white, go team Murray!” Way to go, Maddie!

Maeve M. is a 10-year-old, fourth grader from Newburyport, MA. She’s been dancing for one year at Murray Academy where she is an Open Champion dancer. Maeve’s favorite dance is Blackthorn Stick, and she enjoys dancing at the New England Oireachtas, where her best ID accomplishment was earning 7th place, as her favorite feis. With hard work, Maeve has a goal to qualify for Worlds.

Outside the studio, you might find Maeve eating Chicken Kiev, bike riding, playing with friends, swimming, surfing, reading or writing stories. It’s no wonder that Maeve’s favorite place is her bed or that her friends would describe her as kind and brave. 😊 Maeve leaves us with this: “Go Murray!”

This funny and sassy 8-year-old third-grader from Stratham is Brielle M, though her dad has given her the nickname “Brizilla”! 😊. She loves strawberries and running and sprinting, and her favorite place is Dublin, Ireland.
Brielle has been with Murray Academy for 3.5 years. She is an Open Champion who enjoys the treble jig and lists the Donny Golden Brooklyn, NY Feis as her favorite. Brielle has accomplished much in just over 3 years, but she is most proud of winning 3rd at the North American Irish Dance Championship in Vancouver last summer. Working hard, she hopes to win Nationals in the future.
Brielle wanted leave us with her favorite quote from Miss Anne... “Hard work beats talent when talent doesn’t work hard.” She loves this quote! ❤
