Several years ago I saw some dancers with patches that are replicas of their solo dresses, some girls had them attached to their dress bag - does this ring a bell? anyone know who might make them?

Hello- my daughter has these. I had them done on etsy. If you search “patches” , you will get tons of options. I sent this measurements of the size patch I wanted and a drawing of the dress so they could put it into the digitizer. It’s a great keepsake. Hope that helps ;) (NT) -- CT mom ;), 17:01:03 05/03/22 Tue

I read the info for the blackout feis. It says ladies/girls wear black tights.
Can the younger who are not under 14 and older wear socks?
Or is this feis requesting all ages tights. Thank you for any help.

I wish we had more of these. I love all the beautiful solo dresses, including my dd's, but blackout feiseanna help to level the playing field for those great dancers who can't afford the latest $$$$$ dresses. They also expose some of the carriage flaws some people try to hide rather than correct. It should always be all about the dancing. (NT) -- old mom, 07:07:30 04/30/22 Sat

I've never understood this, but for some reason there are hardly any ID schools in RI while here in MA there are so many. Goulding has a class in Cranston and one in Peace Dale. I think they are each once a week. Clann Lir has a class once a week in Middletown. I don't know much about the Kelly School but it looks like they're based in Pawtucket. (NT) -- I hope your dd finds something, 08:58:50 04/24/22 Sun

OP, I just noticed that Clann Lir's website says classes in Providence TBD. This is a great school. It would be worth contacting them to see whether there will be classes in Providence this Fall. (NT) -- me again, 09:03:39 04/24/22 Sun

HPK also got 3 globes for team dancing, it doesn't look like any other New England schools sent teams to Belfast. Lot's of New England recall medals and many more New England dancers making it through the first round of heats to Day 2 of competition.

We were just saying the same thing. If the organizers were concerned about crowding (and they have asked us to please limit spectators), then why would they insist on having three comps run concurrentlY? The third comp in the morning HAS to check in before the first comp starts (instructions sent yesterday). This guarantees way more people in the ballroom than there would have been if they had run as separate comps. (NT) -- I don't understand, 09:27:37 02/22/22 Tue

Subject: What makes you choose to attend a feis?

Author:
C2
[ Edit | View ]
Date Posted: 09:09:08 02/10/22 Thu

So I'm curious about what makes you attend a feis? All but one of my daughters is done dancing and we choose which feis to attend by proximity mostly since we don't do a lot any more, but that's just me. Back in the "busy" years (trying to get out of Prize winner/Prelim) we picked by which judges would be there (not that it mattered) and the feis history. (Daughter did well there before. nice venue, etc.)
Do people pick based on the "extras" like treble reel comps or Prelim set comps?
If it's an outdoor feis, do you avoid it if you are out of grades (we didn't)?
I'm curious as to what people look for now as I'm not in the thick of things anymore.
Thanks for the input!

I typically pick based on proximity, but there are so many I'd like to travel to if money was no object. For example, the Hershey Park ones seem fun. (NT) -- Senior Dancer, 16:05:54 02/10/22 Thu
We're usually up for any good feis within a 3-hour drive. In pre-covid days we'd started skipping the outdoor ones as they were often either too rainy, too muddy or too hot. But now, after missing out on so many during the pandemic, we're pretty much up for anything, (NT) -- us, 16:30:16 02/10/22 Thu
After sampling some at the beginning of feising and just finding out which ones we liked overall. As she got older we got more adventurous and went places we’d enjoy and have fun going to.

When she was younger, DD loved to feis anywhere and everywhere, did all the specials, etc. I think it was more of it was a fun way to spend the day at the feis with friends; now as an older WQ, she no longer does comps where all the judges are local. She is more selective because her reason to feis is to get a variety of comments and feedback from different perspectives (NT) -- not always about the placements, 09:25:59 02/11/22 Fri

Proximity, double feis or second chance, ample parking, recall it being well-run in the past, coordinating with friends :) (NT) -- dm, 17:31:03 02/14/22 Mon
In addition to what others have said, i like double feis weekends backed up to a school holiday, I also consider the timing if we are free that weekend, I hate when 2 feiseanna are planned for the same day and they are both close to me.

They don’t want to wear a mask and they refuse to get vaxxed but they are the first to complain when a feis is cancelled. (NT) -- SMH, 18:21:00 12/26/21 Sun

This. One very vocal anti-vaxxer in my town, a guy in his late 30s, had to be put on a ventilator on Christmas Day. Best case scenario, he'll be in the hospital for a long time to come and then in rehab, possibly permanently on oxygen. His anti-vax friends set up a GoFundMe because if he lives he'll be out of work for months. I think it would have been smarter to just take the vax. (NT) -- I believe in science, 17:11:21 12/27/21 Mon

I saw a post on another Voy board suggesting that feis committees limit attendance to only vaccinated people, now that the vaccines are available to anyone age 5 and over. If NE adopted that policy it might mean fewer cancellations. (NT) -- we are vaxxed and boostered, 08:42:26 01/01/22 Sat

YES PLEASE!!! I have not heard one intelligent anti-vax argument. (NT) -- Pro-science, 09:16:56 01/02/22 Sun

Honestly, it’s not a vaccine. It’s a prophylactic. Vaccines make you immune. This doesn’t. (NT) -- So…, 08:12:28 01/04/22 Tue

While I agree that there are various types of vaccines, including prophylactic vaccines, COVID-19 vaccines meet the generally accepted criteria that requires a vaccine to prevent disease by building immunity. (NT) -- Pro-science, 11:43:16 01/04/22 Tue
This virus mutates. Vaccine immunity wanes. The flu virus mutates, and vaccine immunity wanes, but no one runs around saying that the flu vaccine isn't a vaccine just because they need a shot every year (NT) -- And some still get the flu, 13:02:18 01/05/22 Wed

Vaccine mandates for attendance at feis' and majors would be the best thing for dancers, families and judges. Hope someone on NE board reads this. (NT) -- MD MPH dance mom, 04:10:33 01/31/22 Mon

If your mother or husband are coming, why can't they watch the 8 year old. I thought the explanation was clear. You get three wristbands. What you do with those three is your choice, but one of them better be on the dancer. (NT) -- just my opinion though, 06:06:12 11/02/21 Tue

At the step into fall feis today. Great feis. Well done.

Ran into this Krazy-Karen, thinks she’s god’s gift to parenting. First she decides she is just going to pep-talk my son, unsolicited. He doesn’t take well to that. It was an obvious and very lame attempt at some stupid mind game against him as a competitor. He just laughed it off. Then, as luck would have it, but not entirely unexpected, his shoes broke. We knew it was coming but the new ones haven’t arrived. We could buy new on the spot but our TC discourages competing in shoes that are not broken-in for safety sake. That’s where Karen comes out in all her glory. This complete stranger proceedes to lecture us anout what terrible parents we are for letting him not dance. She’s such a great parent her child would NEVER even suggest such a thing. Really made quite the show of herself for all around to see. I’m legit worried we might find ourselves on YouTube or Tik-Tok.

Then her dancer gets up and stumbles his way through his dance like yogi bear in hard shoes.

We are going to be laughing about her all day!

You are right, it’s the same judges week in week out. One local judge can’t seem to write comments or at best writes the name of the set dance. -- Very disappointing, 07:18:21 10/12/21 Tue

Agree. No comments for one judge. It’s like “you messed up but I’m not going to tell you how” (NT) -- Hmmm, 09:31:38 10/12/21 Tue

This makes me laugh because dd's tc said feising now is not about placements, it's to get judges comments and then zip! (NT) -- we choose to feis out of region for this reason, 10:41:57 10/12/21 Tue

Hotels -- Worcester Hotels, 07:12:45 10/07/21 Thu

Harvest Feis weekend? Any explanation for that? Host hotel is $600 a night! (NT) -- Too much, 07:21:37 10/07/21 Thu

It has a waterpark attached so a weekend night is much more expensive; plenty of other hotels just down the street at a much more reasonable cost (NT) -- a little research, 07:58:04 10/07/21 Thu

It's also a busy time of year in Salem with Haunted Happenings so all the hotels on the north shore are booked or very expensive (NT) -- retired dancer from Salem, 09:46:10 10/07/21 Thu

I’m aware the rooms went live. Figured I’d ask over here anyways before I book at the Hilton. If anyone has an extra room they will not be using, I am looking for the 18th or 19th checking out on the 20th.

call them to see if any were returned to block; somehow I ended up with a duplicate booking for a king, checking in Thursday, leaving Sunday that I called to cancel. (NT) -- only need 1 room, 13:01:59 10/04/21 Mon

Unfortunately I’ve been calling everyday. Same answer. I even tried booking outside of the block as well. No luck. (NT) -- OP, 13:22:06 10/04/21 Mon

Two years ago, when I was travelling frequently, they allowed me to use points to book a room out of the block; not certain how many points you have, but could be an option (NT) -- . . ., 06:18:40 10/05/21 Tue

Our TC had originally told us teams when the syllabus first was released. Then post-release of the syllabus the region sent out an email to TC's saying no teams.

Great for setting up a practice floor. These tiles are well used, but are in good condition.

Asking $200 for the set ($12.50/tile compared with $48/tile new).

Subject: Taken aback that there is about to be an "invitational" feis to help the region's dancers prepare for nationals that includes every state in the region BUT CT and RI. That doesn't seem in the spirit of an "invitational." And why would the region allow such an exclusionary act? It doesn't feel like the spirit of regional support of all dancers who are looking for feis experience. It just feels kind of bad.

I haven't heard of this. I've seen invitationals during the pandemic that included only 3-4 schools in order to keep numbers down, but never heard of a 4-state invitational. Which school is sponsoring it? Curious since I am in MA and have seen nothing saying RI & CT are excluded from any feis. (NT) -- wondering, 06:53:44 05/15/21 Sat

O'Shea Chaplin is hosting, June 26th. Announced on Facebook. Invitational for champs dancers going to Phoenix from the 4 states mentioned (NT) -- Syllabus out next week, 18:54:04 05/15/21 Sat

It’s a matter of numbers. The feis doesn’t count towards advancement. And the place they are having it can only hold a certain number of people. It’s an invitational feis. Nothing wrong with it. If people continue to tear apart the logistics of schools trying to provide dancing opportunities then why are they going to even bother trying to arrange them. (NT) -- Be kind, 07:00:51 05/15/21 Sat
I was confused why the 2 states were excluded. But in the same vein, there are ppl in NH and other NE states that weren't allowed to go to Feis's in NY & NJ (for example), so I don't see the big deal. I am interested how it can be open to EVERY other school. Maybe it is only a few schools? I know it's just preliminary and open. But fwiw - everyone is trying and being kind is important right now. There are & have been other invitationals. It is what it is! (NT) -- Be nice - applauding anyone's efforts to get NE going!, 08:35:20 05/15/21 Sat
Invitationals have been happening all year. Not concerned. -- ., 08:51:29 05/15/21 Sat
Yes, well there is the letter of an invitational and there is the spirit of one. Thus far invitationals have been specific schools invited. In this case it is EVERY dancer in four states, and sorry for those two who aren't invited. How can they simultaneously say "we don't have space," but then invited every single open and prelim dancer from four states? How will they have room for alll of them. So, yes, maybe the letter of it was followed, but certainly not the spirit of it. (NT) -- My 2 cents, 13:06:06 05/15/21 Sat

1 school in Vt and one in ME. Being held in Nh with 3 schools and hosted by a MA school. (NT) -- Not all will get in. There are still limits on numbers, 13:15:33 05/15/21 Sat

Per their FB page: "championship dancers from Massachusetts, Maine , New Hampshire and Vermont that are going to Nationals!" Sounds a little bigger than your description. I think it is just bad optics. "We are holding an invitational for all NER dancers going to nationals except those from CT and RI." (NT) -- -----, 14:33:46 05/15/21 Sat

full wording: "We are going to host an invitational feis for prelim and open championship dancers from Massachusetts, Maine , New Hampshire and Vermont that are going to Nationals !" That's a lot of dancers. No language about caps (NT) -- :, 14:37:00 05/15/21 Sat

My intent was to state that there are only 5 schools outside of MA attending. There are definitely caps as they can only admit a limited number of persons into the studio at a time. It's a dance studio, not a convention hall. (NT) -- Good luck to them, 07:58:32 05/17/21 Mon

An invitational is just that—by invitation. Ask your school to host one. (NT) -- Anti-snowflake, 15:54:02 05/15/21 Sat

Unless you are from the host school, your school did not host one either, which means you too are benefiting from the labor of others. So not sure your horse should be as high as it is. You should climb down from it. Not a good look for you. (NT) -- Snowflake language is so passé. Yawn., 16:59:34 05/15/21 Sat

I'm not the one whining about exclusions. It's been a year of challenges, schools can do what they can do. No one is going to die if they miss an opportunity to dance. Let's act like adults--crying and criticizing an invitational event is not a good look. (NT) -- Is using "Karen" a better option?, 17:05:15 05/15/21 Sat

YES! This, a thousand times this! So tired of the people who aren't doing a thing and think they are somehow owed feising opportunities without contributing a single feis. I honestly think if your school doesn't host or co-host a feis you shouldn't even be allowed to feis at all. (NT) -- sick of the freeloaders, 17:37:11 05/21/21 Fri

LOL wow (NT) -- hahaha, 13:39:28 05/23/21 Sun
Ha ha ha. Not a single Harney kid would be allowed to feis then. The largest school in the region and clearly not holding their own. They don't offer any feises at all. *The PK feis doesn't count as Harney hosting a feis. Let's be real. (NT) -- Cmon, 20:04:57 05/24/21 Mon

Well they must have some reason they don't want to host. They usually do in non-covid times & certainly have the #'s re: parent volunteers to help out. But why pick on them? Plenty of schools haven't hosted. The ones who have are large and small. So funny ppl complaining when things are finally happening again. Can't pls everyone I guess. (NT) -- Just be glad there's something!, 08:31:39 05/25/21 Tue
Back in the day Harney used to host a couple feis - one back-to-back with the Harvest Feis, and i may be wrong but I think they originally hosted the ICC feis. Problem with being a big and good school is you have a lot of dancers at your own feis. People claimed bias and attendance dropped off, I would think that made hosting a feis financially unsupportable. They tried in the past, so I don't blame them. (NT) -- oldie, 07:14:12 05/27/21 Thu

Harney has paid their dues in the past with both the Harney feis and the ones they had at the ICC. There are schools that have never once hosted. They're coasting on the hard work of other schools. (NT) -- truth, 19:41:18 05/27/21 Thu

Cap is 250 so not every dancer in 4 states gets to attend. 1 champ group per age. Not splitting prelim from open. Truly champ practice. No parents allowed in (NT) -- . . ., 21:50:12 05/30/21 Sun
We’ve never found much value in invitationals but it sounds like some of the appeal is practicing at Murray studios for stage floor/size. If your school doesn’t have at least one major stage-sized studio with proper lifted floors you may want to raise an eyebrow at your tuition bill. (NT) -- L, 07:57:28 06/05/21 Sat

Sounds like its going to be a looooong day. Feises up until now during Covid have tried to get people in and out as efficiently as possible to not overcrowd. I preferred it that way, it didn't eat up an entire day or weekend! (NT) -- Thanks!, 13:39:11 02/22/22 Tue No they were quite the opposite. Small and crowded pre-Covid.

Each feis makes the choice on whether to have it public or not. It started as a way of hiding where people were coming from during the pandemic, but has continued, not really sure of the reason (NT) -- -, 18:25:05 02/20/22 Sun Ours was hidden automatically for the first time this year -- Feis chair, 18:09:59 02/27/22 Sun

Subject: What makes you choose to attend a feis?
Author: C2 [ Edit \| View ]	Date Posted: 09:09:08 02/10/22 Thu So I'm curious about what makes you attend a feis? All but one of my daughters is done dancing and we choose which feis to attend by proximity mostly since we don't do a lot any more, but that's just me. Back in the "busy" years (trying to get out of Prize winner/Prelim) we picked by which judges would be there (not that it mattered) and the feis history. (Daughter did well there before. nice venue, etc.) Do people pick based on the "extras" like treble reel comps or Prelim set comps? If it's an outdoor feis, do you avoid it if you are out of grades (we didn't)? I'm curious as to what people look for now as I'm not in the thick of things anymore. Thanks for the input!

I typically pick based on proximity, but there are so many I'd like to travel to if money was no object. For example, the Hershey Park ones seem fun. (NT) -- Senior Dancer, 16:05:54 02/10/22 Thu We're usually up for any good feis within a 3-hour drive. In pre-covid days we'd started skipping the outdoor ones as they were often either too rainy, too muddy or too hot. But now, after missing out on so many during the pandemic, we're pretty much up for anything, (NT) -- us, 16:30:16 02/10/22 Thu After sampling some at the beginning of feising and just finding out which ones we liked overall. As she got older we got more adventurous and went places we’d enjoy and have fun going to. Most I’m driving distance - done with cheap flights. (NT) -- Danced in all regions in North America, 20:17:23 02/10/22 Thu When she was younger, DD loved to feis anywhere and everywhere, did all the specials, etc. I think it was more of it was a fun way to spend the day at the feis with friends; now as an older WQ, she no longer does comps where all the judges are local. She is more selective because her reason to feis is to get a variety of comments and feedback from different perspectives (NT) -- not always about the placements, 09:25:59 02/11/22 Fri Proximity, double feis weekends, fun family vacation destinations like Hershey or Kalahari. (NT) -- ., 13:23:50 02/13/22 Sun Proximity, double feis or second chance, ample parking, recall it being well-run in the past, coordinating with friends :) (NT) -- dm, 17:31:03 02/14/22 Mon In addition to what others have said, i like double feis weekends backed up to a school holiday, I also consider the timing if we are free that weekend, I hate when 2 feiseanna are planned for the same day and they are both close to me. I want to go to both, but can’t! (NT) -- !, 20:05:38 02/14/22 Mon Look for good competition. Try to go out of region. Definitely avoid local judges (NT) -- Hth, 18:12:10 02/27/22 Sun

It seems as though Newport may be the only one before Worlds. There are a few Mid Atlantic ones in NY be NJ. It would be great if we had more in region though!

Yes. I believe we are going right back where we were due to all these selfish, moronic anti-vaxxers. (NT) -- such a shame, 17:05:02 12/21/21 Tue You are so naive. (NT) -- Vaxed, 13:39:01 12/22/21 Wed LOL (NT) -- uh huh, 17:48:50 12/22/21 Wed They don’t want to wear a mask and they refuse to get vaxxed but they are the first to complain when a feis is cancelled. (NT) -- SMH, 18:21:00 12/26/21 Sun This. One very vocal anti-vaxxer in my town, a guy in his late 30s, had to be put on a ventilator on Christmas Day. Best case scenario, he'll be in the hospital for a long time to come and then in rehab, possibly permanently on oxygen. His anti-vax friends set up a GoFundMe because if he lives he'll be out of work for months. I think it would have been smarter to just take the vax. (NT) -- I believe in science, 17:11:21 12/27/21 Mon I saw a post on another Voy board suggesting that feis committees limit attendance to only vaccinated people, now that the vaccines are available to anyone age 5 and over. If NE adopted that policy it might mean fewer cancellations. (NT) -- we are vaxxed and boostered, 08:42:26 01/01/22 Sat YES PLEASE!!! I have not heard one intelligent anti-vax argument. (NT) -- Pro-science, 09:16:56 01/02/22 Sun Honestly, it’s not a vaccine. It’s a prophylactic. Vaccines make you immune. This doesn’t. (NT) -- So…, 08:12:28 01/04/22 Tue While I agree that there are various types of vaccines, including prophylactic vaccines, COVID-19 vaccines meet the generally accepted criteria that requires a vaccine to prevent disease by building immunity. (NT) -- Pro-science, 11:43:16 01/04/22 Tue This virus mutates. Vaccine immunity wanes. The flu virus mutates, and vaccine immunity wanes, but no one runs around saying that the flu vaccine isn't a vaccine just because they need a shot every year (NT) -- And some still get the flu, 13:02:18 01/05/22 Wed Vaccine mandates for attendance at feis' and majors would be the best thing for dancers, families and judges.
