GLASGOW FESTIVAL OF IRISH DANCING 2017
Dear Teacher,
It is with great pleasure that I invite you to the 2017 Glasgow Festival of Irish Dancing.
NEW FOR 2017
This year, we have incorporated GRADE EXAMINATIONS over the weekend of the Festival, open to all dancers, all age groups, all grades, from all clrg registered dance classes.
The GRADE EXAMINATIONS will take place on SATURDAY, 10TH. JUNE. TO FACILIATE ALL DANCERS WISHING TO TAKE PART, THERE WILL BE 2 SESSIONS, A MORNING SESSION, STARTING AT 10AM, AND AN AFTERNOON SESSION, STARTING AT 2PM. IN THIS WAY ALL DANCERS WHO WISH TO TAKE PART CAN BE FACILIATATED, AS OPEN DANCERS TAKING PART IN THE CHAMPIONSHIP ON THAT DAY CAN ALTERNATE THEIR GRADES WITH THEIR CHAMPIONSHIP TIMES, AND GRADE DANCERS DANCING ON THE SUNDAY CAN TAKE PART IN THE GRADE EXAMINATIONS ON THE SATURDAY.
From 2018, prospective candidates for TCRG exams will be expected to have completed GRADE EXAMINATIONS in order to achieve their certificate. It is also a beneficial tool to engage dancers who may not be yet ready for competition, or who may not wish to participate at competition level. I have detailed some information below:
Grade Examinations Scheme:

The purpose of the Grade Examinations Scheme is to provide a structured framework within which dancers can progress towards an achievable goal. The syllabus has been designed to provide a strong foundation in Irish Dance by developing a candidate’s physical skills, stamina, expression, musicality and an appreciation and knowledge of the traditional dances and culture. It provides a worthwhile sense of achievement for individuals whether they dance solely for health, recreation or competitive reasons or hope to pursue a career in Irish Dancing.
Grade examinations are unlike competitions in that each candidate is individually examined and receives a detailed written assessment of their performance and knowledge of the grade being attempted. They are open to both male and female candidates regardless of age and ability.
The scheme consists of an optional Preliminary Grade followed by a further 12 grades with each grade becoming increasingly more demanding on the candidate’s skill, knowledge and ability. Each Grade must be passed and certificate awarded before a candidate may attempt the next level. A dancer who successfully completes all Grades will be awarded “The Diploma of the Irish Dancing Commission”.
