In order to compete, you must have your instructor’s approval first. You will need to know 2 steps each of at least 2 soft shoe dances before you can compete at a feis. You will also need to have a school costume.
Next, you will need to pick the date and location of the feis you wish to compete in! It is always a good idea to start competing at our own feis, Jig By the James, which we hold in March each year. If, however, our feis is too far in the future, then take a look at the WIDA USA Events pageand see what feiseanna are coming up. You should also check the WIDA Facebook Page for events.
Once you’ve picked your feis, you’ll need to register online here. FeisKeeper is WIDA’s online feis registration system. You or your parents will need to set up an account and select the feis for which you wish to register. When you register for the first time, make sure to select your school and enter the proper level for each dance. CHECK WITH YOUR INSTRUCTOR BEFORE REGISTERING!!! She will tell you what level to register as (usually Beginner) and what dances you should select to compete in. When you are a Beginner, the dances can sound a lot alike and you don’t want to accidentally register for ones you don’t know!
