Wouldnât that be beautiful? The arranged singers had to cancel. A dancer family member would also be welcome if Dancers. are not able. This is a special day on many levels.

Plenty of time was provided between rounds to ensure every dance in my daughter's small competition had plenty of time to recover from the previous round. While the schedule provided 15 minutes to enter the building before the competitions, the dancers were allowed inside early with plenty of time for warm-up. They seemed to all LOVE the sashes this year (fancy!) and the candy bars were a hit. I know this year's feis presented challenges due to covid constraints, but you found a way to make it work. We had a fun and surprisingly relaxing afternoon and hope to return next year!

- Let me rephrase the question. On the Champ stages, are they going to go through all the age groups in hard shoe, start again with the first age group listed, go through all ages groups for soft shoe, go to the first age group and do set for all age groups? Or does each age group do all rounds, then move to the next age group to do all rounds? (NT) -- No name, 07:43:13 06/17/21 Thu (mta-184-55-219-150.neo.rr.com/184.55.219.150)

- I think the confusion is if the judging panel is fixed or rotating. If it is a fixed panel, it would make sense to do each age group completely then move on to the next. If it is a rotating panel, then move through all ages groups. So, the real question is, rotating or fixed? (NT) -- No name, 10:22:03 06/17/21 Thu (mta-184-55-219-150.neo.rr.com/184.55.219.150)

First, we want to thank everyone for your patience as we worked with state and local health professionals on the logistics of hosting an "in-person" Feis in the Chicago area.
Today, we are very happy to announce that we got the green light and the Mullane Godley Academy will be hosting two in-person "back-to-back" Feises:
* Mullane Godley Feis Saturday, June 19
* MG Father's Day Feis Sunday, June 20
As in the past, the Feises will be held at the large indoor Max McCook complex and will follow all required health and safety requirements. Due to those requirements, each Feis will have a cap of 750 entries.
This will be a great opportunity for all "first feis" and beginner dancers to perform their new steps on stage and get rewarded for all their hard work in such a trying year. In addition to medals, a special "thank you" gift will be given to all "first feis" and beginner dancers.
This will also be a great tune-up for the US National Championships. Similar to past MG Feises, OC dancers will perform all three rounds; while PC dancers will do their two rounds with a separate set dance competition. Trophies will be provided 1st place dancers in all Prizewinner competitions.
We are currently finalizing the syllabus and entries will be opening shortly through our friends at QuickFeis. For more information on the Feis, please visit our Instagram page, Facebook page, MullaneGodley.com or QuickFeis.com.
We look forward to seeing everyone at Max-McCook in June.

I would love a few more responses if you have a few minutes! Link is below, it's open to teachers, parents, and dancers.
Reading the responses has been fascinating, even more than I thought it would be. We have a lot of things in common all around the region; glad to be dancing with you, even with the strangeness of the world right now. I really appreciate your taking the time to share with me! Happy holidays!

Hi, we run the Everything Irish Dance website and Facebook page. We are a couple of mums who were getting frustrated looking for Irish Dance related info (so many different sites!). It is a fairly new website and we rely on regional and national websites for competitions. If you know of any that maybe running in the future (fingers crossed!) please let us know at everythingirishdance@outlook.com
We are also trying to put together a page of links to costume makers, second-hand costumes, accessories, fitness etc so information on this would also be really helpful.
We are located in the UK so and information regarding your region would be gratefully received :))
Also if any school from your region are missing let us know. Thank you.

Totally anonymous, should take about 10 minutes. Anyone involved with any dancing school in the midwestern part of the United States is welcome to take part, not just CLRG. Teachers, parents and dancers can fill it out.
Results will be used in a graduate-level research paper. Feel free to pass the link along to anyone you think would be interested. I would really appreciate your time! Thank you!

So still trying to understand judges...if for one dance, one judge places your dancer 5th, second judge 12th and third one places her 57th (3 places from last !!!) what would be the reason for the third judge to place her so low. After re watching the dance it was no way the worst dance in the group, but rather top half. We are happy with o er all placement our daughter got but donât understand when there is one judge totally off.

A handful of people have become sick again, but their initial infections were very mild & may not have produced enough antibodies to prevent a second infection.

Since Worlds has been pushed back from April to late July, could Mid-America lobby An CoimisiĂşn to extend the deadline for Regional Oireachtas to be recognized as a World Qualifying Event from Jan. 31 to April 30, 2021? That way, our dance community could do its part to stop the spread of COVID next week and still have a World Qualifying event at a later date. It would also give the Oireachtas committee 5 months to work out any changes with venues, hotels, judges, etc. to plan a safe event when hopefully the worst of COVID will be behind us.
Given all the disappointments this year with the cancellation of Worlds, NANs and other majors and now the Mid-America Oireachtas NOT being a World Qualifying event, our dancers need something to look forward to and to continue working towards in the months to come. If Mid-America could work with other regions around the world to get the powers that be to extend the World Qualifying event deadline ASAP and determine the required dances for each age group for a Spring Oireachtas, NANs, Worlds and the fall Oireachtas, teachers and dancers could get back to work doing what they love.

I have been reading comments about COVID and the MWO, and I also have to express my fear and concern about attending. My dancer, who has been looking forward to it, has recently expressed her fear about attending. As much as I hate to miss it, we are planning to stay home. I donât think itâs worth it, and I cannot understand why the committee isnât postponing it for later date.....or even cancel it altogether for the safety of our families.

- Concerned about Oireachtas -- worried dance family (Disappointed), 18:00:13 11/03/20 Tue (071-011-107-053.res.spectrum.com/71.11.107.53)
Really not trying to start drama, but with COVID cases on the rise, is it wise to hold oireachtas right now? My mother is a physician who has treated COVID patients and our family has decided to boycott the MWO this year. We firmly believe that it is deeply irresponsible to hold it this year. Beyond the fatality rate, COVID can also cause long-term health issues. Even while asymptomatic, you can still spread the virus and potentially devastate more vulnerable populations (common comorbidities such as diabetes, obesity, and asthma are linked to poorer outcomes). I'm sure that you all will make the best choices for your families, but we will be boycotting the MWO this year for its reckless endangerment of the lives of dancers, their families, and teaching staff.

Kudos to the Pittsburgh feis organizers for making these events happen. However Sunday was a mess. All grades dancers there all day. Camping in holding rooms when it was only supposed to be a place to gather before dancing. Really wish the schedule had been set up like Saturday with certain groups coming in waves. DD dances 9 dances Saturday in 1.25 hrs (second chance). Sunday it look more than 3 for 5 dances. I hope for successful feiseanna from them in the future but I hope they also revisit the scheduling.

I would love peopleâs thoughts about what they think should stick around after the pandemic
* I love the dances being grouped by age instead of dance and the aprox. start times assigned to each age grouping.... I am ok if we never go back to not having any idea when your dancer will start dancing.. such a better balance to the day
* chairs spaced out in small groups even there is still a lot of other viruses that float around I donât want to bring home from a feis,
* no camping in the halls is sorta nice, less congestion (inline this one is tough if you are not staying in a hotel connected to the feis) but I have totally rethought how to bring the essentials and have a bright colored backpack (that way if my dancer needs to spot me across the way the backpack stands out) and it allows me to bring the few things we need (shoes, holding place for warm up pants ect)
* hand sanitizer everywhere especially in winter feis season
* exiting the stage after dancing instead of staying lining up...
There are lots of things I miss and canât wait to get back... we miss having the option to bring dad along, me miss the awards ceremony, and of course we miss having the freedom to watch our friends dance and support them!

With the current rise in Covid-19 cases in Indiana and surrounding states, has there been any discussion on postponing the Oireachtas? Indiana is now on several states' quarantine lists making travel very difficult to and from the state. With the event a little over five weeks to go, there are a lot of decisions, planning and investments that need to be considered by the dancers and their families. Will there be any communication in the very near future giving us some guidance or direction on if this event is going forward as planned or if alternatives are being reviewed?

If a dancer does not advance in January, even though they have won first places in grades, is there anything another dancer can/should do? This has allowed placement for my daughter and several other dancers.

Subject: NAIDC & Worlds inside
In reply to: * 's message, "With NA regionals on the verge of being cancelled what happens with NAIDC? Does 2019 qualification carry over ?" on 13:20:03 08/06/20 Thu
I think when they cancelled NAIDC they said that 2019 qualifications for 2020 would carry over to 2021.
As for Worlds, when people were talking about last year's U9s being told they qualified for 2021 Worlds based on results for last year's (2019) Os, I dug around a little on the FB pages of schools in our region who would have a qualifier. Sure enough, found one school congratulating its dancers (and rightly so; the dancers were amazing!) and someone asked what the deal was.
In response, the school posted an image of what appear to be guidelines for 2021 Worlds qualifications. I can't cut and paste and I don't want to link to the school because I fear Voy trolls, so I'll copy it as best I can.
(I make no claim to authenticity; but as a school posted it in response to a question about U9 qualifiers to a parent at it's own school, it seems it would be legitimate.)
NEW FOR 2021:
Significant Changes to the 2021 qualifying criteria:
a. Where the 2020 Regional Primary Qualifying proceeds:
* Qualifying requirements and ratios remain unchanged. In addition, any dancer that qualified in 2019 and does not qualify at the 2020 event, can use their 2019 qualification to attend Worlds as they enter and compete at their 2020 Primary Oireachtas.
* Where on medical grounds, including explicit Covid19 restrictions imposed on a dancer or a dancer's immediate family, a dancer is unable to attend the 2020 Regional Oireachtas, the normal medical appeal should be submitted within the appropriate timelines. Such appeals will only be considered where a dancer has entered the Oireachtas.
* It should be noted that World Medalists from 2019 were already "stepped" over at primary and secondary qualifying events in 2019 and they should not be "stepped" over at the 2020 Regional Oireachtas as this would lead to their place being filled three times.
* Please note that where a 2020 Regional Oireachtas proceeds, there is not substitution of 2019 qualifiers unable to attend Oireachtas Rince na Cruinne 2021.
b. Where the 2020 Primary Qualifying does not proceed:
* Any dancer that was entitled to dance Oireachtas Rince na Cruinne 2020 will be entitled to dance at Oireachtas Rince na Cruinne 2021.
* In addition, in recognition of the delay between qualifying and the actual World Championships, and to allow full representation at Regional level, qualifiers may be substituted ONCE where the original qualifier is unable to attend Oireachtas Rince na Cruinne 2021.
* It should be noted that where a substitution occurs, then the place can only be cascaded to the first next in line dancer. Should this dancer also be unable to attend then the place cannot be cascaded down any further.
c. Recognition of Qualification status for Dancers born in 2010
* Although this year group was not recognised as having qualifed in 2019 as they were only Under 9, the same provision outlined in (a) and (b) above apply. Rankings and qualifying places from 2019 have been received and verified.
* Regional directors/chairpeople will be able to share this information with teachers from within their region.

Hi we are looking at building a practice floor as we just moved. We did plywood & shower pan liner before. Looking at dance floor tiles as we donât have as much space here-any recommendations? I gave an Irish dancer and a ballet dancer

- Oireachtas in IL - needs to be in Phase 5? -- No name, 22:09:32 06/10/20 Wed (adsl-99-30-144-8.dsl.sfldmi.sbcglobal.net/99.30.144.8)
I was looking at the phased reopening plan for IL since the Oireachtas is in Schaumburg, IL. It looks like large gatherings canât occur until Phase 5 and itâs the same phase they expect a vaccine. Could Oireachtas occur if IL hasnât reached Phase 5? Maybe each city has its own rules? Maybe the phased reopening has been overturned? Anyone from IL have any insight?
