I know that it is because NAFC is no longer responsible for organizing/registering feiseanna and such. But where to look now?

I can’t figure it out... any help of good places to look would be helpful!

Subject: Posting that 'NE does't care about the Irish Dancing' is delusional and shows ignorance to regional restrictions due to the pandemic. No venue in New England allowed events. If you're an adult, your ignorance is shocking . If you're a child, understand public policy before you post disparaging claims about IDTANA-NE. The officers DO NOT run Feisanna. Private organizations run Feisanna, local authorities dispense permits for these feisanna, and insurance companies insure these feisanna.

My tween feels like her regular black long-sleeve leotard is revealing more curves than she's comfortable with. Can anyone suggest something that works for a black-out feis, but isn't quite as fitted as regular leotards?

Thanks so much!

I had heard a few years ago about an orthopedist who was also an Irish dancer. My daughter is struggling with a very tricky foot injury, and I'm wondering if anyone has recommendations for him (not sure of his name) or any other orthopedist they would recommend in this situation. Stamford CT area.

We would like to announce that the popular music competitions at the Rose & Shamrock Festival are going virtual this year! Every year we have one of the most popular traditional music competitions in the eastern United States and we wanted to make sure that despite needing to cancel our larger festival due to COVID, that we were able to continue this fabulous musical tradition. Registration is open now on feisweb.com and more details including syllabus can be found on our website, roseandshamrock.org. We welcome entrants from all over the world and hope to make this year's music competition the best yet!

Are the entries restricted to NE or is it open to all regions? Are there normally caps on online feises just like in real life feises?

Do you tape in the studio or at home?

Do you get judges comments at the end of it?
