 FEIS PROGRAM, SYLLABUS AND RULES
 

We are trying a new system this year, which is publishing a full “green” e-program which will be sent to all teachers by e-mail, posted on feisworx and on this school website. The PDF file will be searchable, and you can print just the pages you need for the feis. Schedules, dancer lists, and school info will be included in the file. Rather than charging admission at the door, we are trying the prepaid admission fee system in conjunction with the e-program fee, for a total of $25 per family.

The Feis An Fhomhair rules have been adopted from the North American Feis Commission. Complete Syllabus and Rules can be downloaded from the following links:
