A Feis (pronounced "fesh") is the name given to a judged competition of Irish dance. Feiseanna (the plural of feis and pronounced "fesh-ah-na") are accredited by the North American Feis Commission.

Dancers compete starting at the Beginner level, and by placing advance through Advanced Beginner, Novice and Prizewinner levels before entering the Championship levels. Results are recorded on the Feis Record form available from the school.

The Culkin School has developed a set of competition standards for all students. Follow this link to read our standards.   All competitions must have at least 5 participants for the results to count.

Competitors are categorized by age, and a dancer may choose to compete in multiple dances. The detailed NAFC rules are posted here.

In this section of our website, the Culkin School provides information on selected Feiseanna with practice dates, team listings, and other event information. Many feiseanna have their own web sites and you should refer to those sites for specific details
