Congratulations to all of our dancers that competed in our November feis.
We had a wonderful weekend of dancing including all of the Traditional Sets performed by our senior dancers and exceptional displays of talent in the freestyle sections. 
We are very grateful to have been able to hold a number of feisanna this year despite all the challenges we faced. Looking forward to a bigger and brighter 2021! 

Location: Leisurepark – Balga, 109 Princess Road, Balga WA 6061
The health and safety of our dancers and families is our number one priority. We will be continuing to run our feisanna with reduced capacities and following all Covid guidelines. With this in mind please take note of the following rules:

1. Limited capacity in the venue, strictly ONE spectator per dancer
2. Seating will be grouped together by dance school and each school is responsible for the cleaning of that section. Please use the same seats for the whole session. 
3. All spectators and dancers will be required to completely vacate the hall after the completion of each session and cleaning will be completed. 
4. Hand sanitizers will be available for use
5. Sections will run Light shoe dances and then change to Heavy Shoe dances

Presentations and Prizes
• We will be presenting medals for individual places at this feis. We will call all dancers to the presentation area at the start of the results and ask them to stay seated at the front of the stage so we can work through the results in a timely manner. 
• All dancers and spectators will be required to vacate the hall once all results have been announced.
Please note: If you are feeling unwell with fever or flu like symptoms - stay home!

Should you have any questions please direct them to your teacher.

Join us on Sunday 1st November to see Riverdance the 25th Anniversary Movie!
We have a group booking for all families and friends of AIDA WA.
