What a Thanksgiving weekend we had! The Mac dancers came out in force and brought home the Beleek! Mid-America Oireachtas-2020 put on an amazing socially distanced event with perfect spaces for everyone to stay safe. The stage and hall monitors were on top of making sure rules were followed and it turned out awesome. The live feed was great so no one missed seeing their friends dance.
Congratulations to all our dancers who competed this weekend! Everyone did amazing!
Our recalls and placements:
*Tierney U17 4th place
*Gabby U12 15th place
*Sophia W U15 32nd place

Mid-America Oireachtas-2020

Mid-America Oireachtas-2020

The Oireachtas Committee would like to address a few things. The post from yesterday was deleted. Yes, our event will no longer be a qualifier for Worlds or Nationals. But this was not the Oireachtas committee’s decision. We received an email from CLRG in Ireland and it is not a decision that we can reconsider. It was a directive handed down. There is a clause in the Worlds 2021 Syllabus that states: “Recognition as a Qualifying event for Oireachtas Rince na Cruinne 2021 may not be given to a Regional Oireachtas which: (b) attendance at the Oireachtas is restricted resulting in all dancers in a Region being unable to attend due to Covid 19 travel restrictions imposed by the local or national Health Authority of the area.”

For 2021 Nationals this is the exact IDTANA rule:

Whether their region holds a world-qualifying Oireachtas or NOT, dancers will hold their 2019 qualification; if a region does hold a world-qualifying event, we will count the 2019 qualifications as well as any new qualifications earned at the 2020 regional world-qualifying Oireachtas.

This is not what any of us want but all TCRGs were notified of the possibility of this.

We cannot issue refunds at this point because the event is still taking place. Even though it isn’t a qualifying event, it is still a Mid-America Championship with recalls and results, just no announcements for Worlds or Nationals qualifiers.

We will no longer be responding to messages on this matter. Please consult with your TCRG with any other questions or concerns at this time.

Good morning feis families! We’re just under 48 hours away from the West Virginia Feis, which starts at 8am SHARP on Saturday. Here are some details to get you started. Don’t forget a labeled bag for your dancer to put their mask in while they’re dancing.

Number pick up will be available for WV Feis only on Friday from 6-8pm in the competition area. Please follow the signs and social distancing markers. If you’re not staying at the hotel, you may pick your dancer’s number card up in the holding room/stage area on Saturday when we announce that they can come to the competition area.

Stages 1, 2 and 3 will be in our main ballroom, which will be separated into 3 rooms. Stages 4 and 5 will be in the smaller ancillary rooms. We will make sure they are well-marked. Each stage will have a separate holding room, which will also be marked. Please do not come to the stage or holding area until you are asked to do so. Follow this page for updates, and the Live Stage Schedule on QuickFeis to see how it’s running.

Target Training - Irish dance strength & conditioning

💥TOMORROW💥
TOE HEIGHT | POINTING | GOING ON BLOCKS
10am-11:15amCST

These three techniques are some of my favorite to work on as they are often overlooked and forgotten about but are critical for Irish dancers.

Working on the mobility of your ankles and toes and the strength of the muscles in your feet and lower legs not only help to improve your point and toe height, but also help improve your stability, reduce your risk of injury and prepare you to work on your blocks in hard shoe.

Check out the details and register for tomorrow's clinic at https://www.targettrainingdance.com/online-institute
