Irish step-dancing as we know it in the 21st century can be traced back to traveling dance masters of 18th century rural Ireland. They each developed their own “steps” and competed against each other for the opportunity to teach in different regions.

After decades when Irish step-dancing remained relatively unknown outside of its inner circle, Riverdance hit the world stage in the 1990s. Suddenly, Irish stepdancing
became the “rage,” not just in Ireland but world-wide. Families who had never even heard of a “step” or “ghillie” were enrolling their children in step-dancing classes and assembling at Feisanna (plural for Feis) to watch them compete.

Through our combined efforts with the Irish cultural society, the Pittsburgh Winter Feis and the West Virginia Feis we have grown to be a destination on the Feis circuit. A special thank you to Jim Graven, Kathy Yates and Jared Spencer and all of our volunteers for all of their hard work and input in making this Feis what it is today.


Please note: Feis dancers receive free admission with their dance numbers. Tickets are required for admission to the Fling. Family members of participating dancers can purchase advance discounted tickets through the Celtic Fling and will be notified by the email they provide for the dancer's registration prior to the event with more details.


The Feis begins promptly at 9AM. Registration will take place through eFeis, and is capped at 1000 competitors.
