The topic of the Treble Reel Competition is Catlandia. explore the life of a dancing cat and put your best paw forward!
Dancers are required to dance 16 bars down the line. For all age groups, once the last person in the competition on all floors finishes their step, all dancers will wait 8 bars of music, then perform together a basic treble reel step (1-1-3-1-1-3) twice. This last part is just for fun and will not affect their placement.
This is a freestyle competition, so use of hands and costumes to impersonate their chosen idea are encouraged. Present us with your best adapted steps and impersonation!
Competitors in the Blind Hornpipe may dance in any of their competition outfits. Dancers will perform 16 bars down the line. Speeds will be 130 for Beginners/Primary and 113 for Intermediate/Open. The judges will be facing away from the dancers and judging will be made on the dancers’ timing and rhythm.
Share the feis experience with some of your family members!
The Family Ceili Special is also a freestyle competition. The teams can consist of siblings, parents-children, husband-wife, cousins, grandchildren-grandparents etc. There must be at least one true dancer in the team (non-dancing family members may compete). The competition is aimed at celebrating the strong family bonds within our schools and to give the opportunity of sharing a feis experience closely with dear family members.
