We travelled with Ruth and Beth to Derby today to take part in the Glendarragh
Feis.
We’re not experts on Irish Dancing regulations, but have attended quite a few
competitions now and this one completely baffled us. Dancers were able to
wear solo dresses and make-up in Novice, Primary and Intermediate grades.
They were also allowed to dance in both Primary and Intermediate Trophies
in the same age group. This feis was under the Midlands Feis Rules which
appear to be completely different to the North West Regional Rules Megan
normally competes under.
The important lesson learned was that she will not be competing out of the
North West Regional Feis until she has reached the Open grade.
Megan did achieve a 6th in the Intermediate Slip Jig, which taking everything
in to account was amazing, well done Meg. And we did have a lovely time on
the way home, stopping off in Buxton for tea, thanks Beth and Ruth.
