Local
Our dancers compete throughout New York, PA, and Southern Ontario at various local competitions ("feises") throughout the year. We are fortunate to be in an area rich in Irish culture and there is no shortage of opportunities to compete throughout the year! Hundreds of our dancers use feising as a way to advance through the ranks and we have dancers that range from Beginner all the way up to the highest level, Open-Championships.
