The lovely ladies from Association Artedanza Teatro Italia who came to visit our stand at Danza in Fiera got very excited about their free tiaras and our UV costumes and accessories.

Here they are with Daniella who has done a brilliant job talking to all the Italian people we have met.

We were so pleased today to be able to present our Retailer of the Year Award to Odette who has been such a great ambassador for our products in Italy.

Everyone at IDS sends her many congratulations as well as many thanks for all her business. Here is Odette and her mother receiving the award on our stand here at Danza in Fiera.

Danza in Fiera is an amazing dance exhibition held each year in Florence. For the first time IDS is exhibiting here so we can meet our many Italian customers.

We are very lucky to have Daniella with us as, not only is she a member of our Customer Service team but she is also a fluent Italian speaker!
Elaine, Kate and Ami are also here with me. Here they are on our stand.

After a busy day talking to teachers and handing out “goody bags”, it was time to party! What a wonderful evening of music and dance and a brilliant cabaret by world champion highland dancers.

The pictures show Ami with Ann Green UKA immediate Past President and Ami and myself with the current President, Jackie Sanderson, ready to party.

I am so pleased to be back again at the Highland Gathering in Aberdeen. UKA events are always fun, busy and very lively and this weekend looks like being no exception. Ami and I are really enjoying catching up with old friends, almost all of whom are really good customers.

Traditionally IDS sponsors the first night drinks reception and here are some of the UKA Directors, examiners and teachers getting the weekend off to a good start with Ami and myself and,of course, a room decorated with IDS outfits!
