What is my Feis Level?
Please read the
following carefully before registering.
First Feis –This is only for those beginner dancers who have
NEVER attended a Feis before. The Ardán
Academy Feis has combined this category with the next level. However, if you are just starting to
attend Feises, make sure that you enter the first one at this level. All other Feises you will then enter at
the next level (Beginner 1).
Beginner 1 – (Formerly “Beginner”)
Dancers that began taking instruction in September of last year or later.
Usually that means you have been dancing for less than one year
Beginner 2 – (Formerly “Advanced Beginner”)
Dancers that began before September of last year -- You have usually been
dancing for at least one full year.
Or, if you medaled in any dance in Beginner 1 or First Feis, you can
then enter in THAT dance at this level.
Novice - Dancers that placed 1st, 2nd or 3rd (with 5 or more
competitors) in Advanced Beginner in that particular dance.
Prize Winner – (Formerly “Open”) Dancers that placed 1st (with 5 or more
competitors) in Novice in that particular dance.
