First Feis!

Christopher had his first Irish Dance feis (pronounced "fesh") today. It was the Sunflower Feis at the Overland Park Convention Center and it was a great, albeit very loooooonnng, experience! We saw a lot of the championship dancers in the morning, including a boy from our school who went to Worlds last month. Then Chris had his shot, and he did not throw it away (see what I did there?). He danced in four dances and won three first places and one second! Here is the happy boy when he found out his results...

Here are the videos of his four dances starting with Reel (First Feis level). This is a soft shoe dance and he placed first in this one...


Next was Light Jig (First Feis level). Another soft shoe dance in which he placed first...


Here is Treble Jig (Beginner 2 level). This is a hard shoe dance and he placed second in this one...


Finally, Chris did Hornpipes (Beginner 2 level). He placed first in this hard shoe dance...


It was a very fun day and by the end of it, we learned more than we ever thought we'd need to know about how Irish Dance works. Congrats to our boy!
