I believe the rules say you have to be in PW, Prelim or Open to do Oireachtas, but ultimately the decision is with your teacher. Ask him/her about it because they're they ones that enter people.More inside...16:50:08 07/24/08 Thu
At a minimum you must be "prelim qualified" -- that means a first in PW in soft shoe and a first in PW in hardshoe. Many teachers have additional restrictions, ie: must have PW firsts in the dances your age groups is assigned for the oireachtas, must be in prelim, must have placed in prelim, etc. The teacher must enter the dancers in the Oireachtas, so s/he will only enter you if you meet his/her requirements.

Last year dd's TC allowed danceres to do solos if they were at least Prelim-qualified. This year she will only allow those who have placed at least once in Prelim to do solos. All others do Traditional Set. This makes sense as dancers who have not placed in PC are unlikely to recall at Oireachtas level. There are exceptions of course but they are few in number (NT)imho09:29:40 07/25/08 Fri
I know of a couple of schools that do not allow non-placing prelims to dance solos. They stay in Trad set comp until they place. (NT)ID mom19:12:06 07/25/08 Fri
