Feile Samhain - 2009

Halloween weekend Emily had a Feis in Portland and did super. She took home several medals, a trophy and a new wig. Feile Samhain is an An Daire Feis put on by Emilys teachers and has a halloween theme. A Feis is a competition for all the dancers in the area including California, Alaska, Utah and Montana. In order for any dancer to move up in their level of dance they must place;
* A Beginner needs a 1st,2nd, or 3rd to move up to Advanced Beginner
* An Advance Beginner needs a 1st or 2nd to move up into Novice;
* A novice dancer needs a 1st in order to move into Prizewinner
* and then there are two more levels after that.
Emily did a great job! Emily danced 8 dances. She started out as a Beginner and moved into several Advance Beginner dances and 1 Novice dance and brought home 3 first place medals, 4 second place medals and 1 third place trophy. Her teachers say that she has lots of potential to go far. As long as shes having fun I don't mind. We can hardly wait for Seattle in March!! A few pictures from the Feis..
