Did you know that some senior Eire Born dancers have been waiting and hoping for the past 7 years to be part of the 2010 Olympics? Way back in March 2003 when Vancouver was still a “candidate city”, Eire Born was invited to perform at 2 special Olympic Bid events.
The first one (top photo) was the “Rally on Robson“, a huge outdoor street performance in downtown Vancouver in support of Vancouver’s official 2010 Olympic Bid. The second one (bottom photo) was the next evening, at an invitation-only event at Queen Elizabeth Theatre for the IOC (International Olympic Committee) members, who were in Vancouver and Whistler assessing the Vancouver Olympic Bid.
In following years after Vancouver won the 2010 Olympic bid, Eire Born also performed at the official unveiling of the Vancouver Olympic symbol (the Inukshuk) at GM Place, and the official handing-over of the Olympic flag ceremony in Whistler.
Now here it is 7 years later and just weeks away from the opening of the 2010 Olympics ! We are pleased to announce that Eire Born has been invited to perform at 8 special events in conjunction with the 2010 Olympics:

Thanks for putting this up. I searched on how to make good comments and after not getting much I found this which I learned about how a profile can make an impression.
