Canada Feile 2018

Canada Feile 2018

Our 3^rd Annual Canada Feile will be held on Saturday, May 26^th, 2018 at the Hilton Airport Suites, starting at 9:00 AM   We are very pleased to be hosting this CRN Irish Dance Competition and delighted to welcome back Adjudicator Ms. Ann English from Dublin, Ireland.  We are also pleased to welcome many of our fellow CRN Irish Dance schools from the U.S.A Region who will be travelling to Winnipeg for the competition as well as local Open Platform schools.

The competition is open to all McConnell School of Dance Students from our General, Performance, Brandon, and Competitive Divisions.

•             Competitions for all levels (Beginner – Advanced)

•             All ages, including Adults

•             Solo, Team, Special Trophy, and Celtic Artwork Competitions

We recommend all McConnell School of Dance students consider competing in our CRN Canada Feile as it is a wonderful opportunity for dancers to experience competitive Irish dance in a  supportive environment, without the commitment and expense of long distance travel.   

Due to our earlier recital, dancers will have benefit of May lessons dedicated to preparations for the competitions, so no additional lesson time is required to compete.  Dancers are also welcome to take a Drop In Competitive Class at anytime. 

• Competitive Lesson Schedule – Level 1 & 2  Mon 6:00 – 7:00 PM, Sat 1:30 – 2:20 PM   Level 3  Mon 7:00 – 8:00 PM, Sat 12:00 – 1:00 PM
