Competitive Irish Dance Opportunities

As a rural dance community that services Manitoba's Interlake, we know that access to resources is a common occurrence across the board for our families, in all things, not just dance. To combat this, Prairie North Dance has put a central focus on finding ways for our dancers with competitive dance goals to achieve those dreams without being held back by either distance or the increased financial cost that comes with having to travel long distances for in-person competitions. Breaking down these barriers to access for our dancers and their families is achieved by joining dance communities and organizations that have their roots in the same values as we do. Prairie North Dance is proud to be a part of the Enchanted Feis community, and have our dancers compete via their live-streaming feis (competition in Irish) platform from the comfort of our home dance studio. 

The Enchanted Feis series expands the world view and the experience of dancers around the globe by allowing dancers from all over the world to compete, regardless of their location. The Enchanted Feis is accepting all affiliated and non affiliated Irish dancers and is affordable and accessible, providing a new opportunity for all Irish dancers, fostering a sense of community among participants, enabling them to connect through their shared passion for Irish dance.

This Cyber Competition is held multiple times per year and features beginner through open categories for Irish dancers of all ages and skill levels. 

Produced by Enchanted Productions, LLC, the Enchanted Feis is a Live-Stream only competition, accepting entries from registration open to 7 days prior to the feis date, or on schedule the day of competition. As if an in-person feis, entries may not be pre-recorded or re-recorded, ensuring fairness and honesty for all competitors with a one-take approach. On feis day, all entries are produced on schedule, based on dance, age group and level.

With each feis being streamed live, dancers and viewers have the luxury to watch the full competition, in real-time! This innovation allows family members and fans who are not able to attend an in-person feis to experience and participate in the competition, and support their favorite dancers, from anywhere. 

The Enchanted Community of judges come from various backgrounds, all holding their organization’s certifications. Three adjudicators are used for each competition and provide every dancer with scores, placements, comments and tailored feedback, including adults and the open level. Along with this valuable resource, every dancer shines, receiving premier and unique awards in each category, shipped timely and directly to their door. 

The Enchanted Feis enhances the Irish dance community by providing an easy and affordable experience, accessible to all. Whether you’re a dancer ready to showcase your skills or a fan eager to watch, the Enchanted Feis is only a live stream away!
