The literature on bimusicality addresses how it has evolved in various social and educational contexts. This research focuses on the bimusical learning processes and practices of students, aged sixteen to twenty years, as they cross between the different learning modes associated with these two musical traditions in an Irish context. This qualitative study adopts a collective case study approach, using a purposive sampling strategy. Data collected include: videotaped lessons, recorded practice/playing sessions, observations of a range of music-making activities, and interviews with the participants, their parents and teachers.

  • First Feis Tips
    What is a Feis? A feis is an Irish Dance Competition. It is loud, crowded, exciting, exasperating, exhilarating, fun, and tiring. A feis rarely runs on time. Filling Out the Feis Entry Form There are four things you must know when completing a feis registration form for your child. 1) Send in your forms early. Irish dancing is very popular and competitions reach their caps quickly. Many feisianna (plural of feis) use the “efeis” system or an online entering system.. Hey, we’re in the “know”! 2) Know the level at which your child is dancing. An Coimisiun le Rinci Gaelacha (the governing body for Irish Dancing) has set guidelines for levels and level advancement. The T.C.R.G. (Certified Irish Dance Teacher) of your individual school can require stricter guidelines. Beginner: A dancer who is in their first year. They have not taken Irish Dance classes with a certified teacher prior to September 1st of the current year. Summer beginner workshops do NOT affect beginner status. Advanced Beginner: Dancers move to Advanced Beginner after completion of the Beginner level. Novice A dancer who has placed 1st or 2nd as an Advanced Beginner in reel, light jig, and slip jig in a feis sanctioned by the North American Feis Commission (N.A.F.C.) of five competitors or more. Prizewinner: A dancer who has placed 1st in all four required dances as a Novice dancer in a feis sanctioned by the N.A.F.C. of five competitors or more. Preliminary Champion: A dancer who has placed 1st in all four required dances as a Prizewinner dancer in a feis sanctioned by the N.A.F.C.

We are more than delighted to have the “Stadteilbüro Dulsberg” again as our co-operation partner for the whole weekend. The Kulturhof in Wandsbek offers us such a nice facility, to let us run a huge stage and additional floor. We will not only hold Premier Championships but also our Hamburg Trophy. Hamburg Trophy is meant for those dancer still in their Basic Class (Grundkurs) who are able to dance a lead around and sidestep (16 bars). This is for pure fun and will not affect the Grading of the dancers. As the famous Eurovision Song Contest is only two weeks ahead and the tremendous success of Riverdance as Interlude 25 years ago, our Costume Motto for the Treble Reel this year is „Eurovision Song Contest“ (see Rule No. 22) We also have a Show dance competition where you can show your tribute to Eurovision Song Contest (see Rule 24).

  • THE HISTORY of the OAKVILLE FEIS the First Feis, Held in 1991, Was Originally Called Feis Mississauga and Was Run by the Mccloskey School of Irish Dance
    THE HISTORY OF THE OAKVILLE FEIS The first feis, held in 1991, was originally called Feis Mississauga and was run by the McCloskey School of Irish Dance. It was held for about eight years at the University of Toronto, Mississauga Campus. Instead of hotel accommodations, families rented the University townhouse residences and the feis was half inside and half outside. The first feis chairman was Edmund McCloskey and Jean Goggin (Barb Goggin’s mother) was on the first executive of the feis. When Sally McCloskey closed her school in approximately 1997, the feis continued under the direction of some dedicated parents until 1999. At that time the feis was turned over to the Goggin School (now the Goggin-Carroll School). The Oakville Feis has since been held at the Iroqouis Ridge High School, the Hamilton Convention Centre, the Clarkson Community Centre, and 2016 is the 8th year at the Pine Glen Indoor Soccer Club. Originally, the celtic crosses for the trophies were imported from Ireland and were made of compressed peat/Irish turf. About 20 years ago, the OIHA (Oakville Irish Heritage Association) had molds of the celtic crosses made by a Canadian manufacturer. The Terry Skrien Memorial Trophy Terry Skrien was a teacher for many years, a first class adventurer, comfortable paddling and backpacking in the wilderness, a wonderful husband and Dad. The father of two Irish dancing daughters, Terry was frequently seen driving to weekly lessons, feisanna near and far, carrying dresses, patiently awaiting results and always supportive of his girls. Terry was a long time supporter of The Oakville Feis, always quick to volunteer his services when needed – building stages, setting up tables and chairs, working the entries and results tables, managing parking and security, driving adjudicators and musicians to and from the airport… Terry did it all.
