 Feis
The modern feis began before the turn of the 20th Century as part of the revival of Irish culture.
After considerable searching by the feis staff on stage, and prompting and shooing by parents and teachers, they drift up to the stage with a "What am I being sent up here for?" look on their faces.
Food is generally available for purchase at the feis, however a few snacks and a water bottle can be awfully handy particularly when your dancer, who has refused to eat all day, suddenly cries "Starvation!" as she should be lining up for her next event.

 The Original Musings: Feis Weekend!

She normally does two soft shoe dances (reel and slip jig, which are both currently at novice level -- the jig was eliminated when she took first place in it at novice level as there isn't an open jig) and four hard shoe dances (open treble jig, open hornpipe, novice set dance, and treble reel).
At this Feis she will also have two "bonus" dances -- the novice bonus dance is the reel and the open bonus dance is the hornpipe, so because her levels matched she is eligible to do both!
