Yes. It is about the money. We aren’t going to run a feis at a loss, and because you commit to expenses before entries even open, it is always a risk. -- Main Irish Dance Message Board!

In reply to: still all about the $ 's message, "Mid America complains at the drop of a hat about everything. There are judges available, they just don't want to pay travel fees to bring in judges from elsewhere, because it eats into their take for a feis.

we don't look to make a profit like you - as long as we provide for the kids and ensure they have a great time, the rest doesn't matter. We balance it. simple. Oh, and we employ judges from Ireland, too. It is not about making money off the backs of the families, it's about the dancing and committing to continuing the sport - (NT) -- nothing more, 20:43:56 05/21/26 Thu
- We don’t try to make a profit, but we have to cover our costs. Money is tight for many families now and we’d have to charge a lot more to cover work visas and international airfare. We try to keep fees down. (NT) -- Glad it works for you, 06:25:13 05/22/26 Fri
- You took the words right out of my mouth. Having a Feis isn’t about how much money your school can make, but to bring the opportunity to compete in your area. (NT) -- Not rocket science, 04:18:12 05/24/26 Sun
