Feis Information

The Irish word feis (pronounced “fesh”) means festival, but is more commonly used to describe a sanctioned Irish dance competition.  Maureen Berry is TCRG certified and a registered instructor with the Irish Dance Teacher's Association of North America, therefore, Teelin Irish dance students are eligible to compete in NAFC feiseanna (plural of feis, pronounced “FESH-nah”), with instructor's consent.

Some students enjoy the opportunity to compete, and some students prefer to focus their efforts on other aspects of Irish dance.  Choosing to compete is a personal decision, and Teelin supports and respects each dancer's various interests.

(Note: Irish dance competitions are NOT related to performing with the Teelin Irish Dance Company.  Some students are involved with both, some students with just one or the other, some students are not involved with either and just dance for recreation.)
