Actually have this weekend and next off from Feising, and then Pittsburgh for the Pittsburgh Halloween Feis and Dayton for the Gem City Feis (yeah, only a 30 minute drive!). If anyone is dancing before then and wants to add a feis review, please let me know here by leaving a comment, or on Twitter […]
If you head up to the Muskegon Feis I have to recommend an eclectic breakfast place we stumbled across called Toast N Jams. Retro styling in side, nice menu, great food and reasonably priced. One of those local gems you really oughta try.
Michigan Feis was held on September 15, 2012 at Muskegon Catholic Central High School, Muskegon, MI. Venue – Although spread out a little, the Muskegon Catholic Central High School was a pretty good feis venue. Four stages spread throughout the school provided plenty of room for dancers and viewers. I spent most of my time in the […]
The Rock River Valley Feis was held on September 8th, 2012 at the Wellness and Sports Center, Harper College in Palatine, IL. Venue – I thought the Wellness and Sports Center was a nice venue. Everything was in close proximity to the stages and there was room to move around, more so than some recent feiseses. There were 6 stages […]
The St Louis Gateway Feis was held on August 26th, 2012 at The Renaissance Hotel, St Louis, MO. Venue – The Renaissance was really nice. A cool bar/coffee/restaurant with fun little niches for private conversations, eclectic setting and furniture, fun chairs with foot stools, nice lobby with ceramic title and cool mirrored surfaces, but, as a feis venue, it […]
After hearing about the ‘one soft shoe, one hard shoe’ performance idea, the Feis Association Regarding Comical Entertainment (FARCE) has banned the idea. In addition to muffled clicks from only one hard shoe, bangs were not happening as often as expected, and when they did, they were scaring the older judges because of there unexpected occurrence. So much […]
…and you heard it here first! This just in, a new hair style for competition is about to hit the streets and WTF acquired this previously unreleased photo from one of our sources. If I were you, I would expect to see mis-matched wig and hair colors as early as this weekend. Sources also tell us […]
Remember Rachel from MI at the Dayton Feis, well she was was there again, dancing against my daughter. Thankfully she got the last dance she needed to move up to Prelim, and she didn’t beat my daughter every time this time 😉 Sorry, I was nice the last time, I am going to be a […]
The Great Lakes Feis was held on August 19th, 2012 at The Lansing Center, Lansing, MI. Venue – The venue was great and and all the stages were in the same huge room. The champs at one end of the venue and everyone else at the other. I made it sound bigger than it is, and it isn’t THAT […]
OK, so now you get to see the softer side of WTF. A haiku describing the changes I have seen in my daughter because of Irish dance. clumsy, like a fawn but feis after feis she grows like a doe, graceful and if for some reason I have broken some haiku structure rule, tough, I’m […]
