Classes in Grafton & West Boylston

• All dancers that attend the Murphy Academy of Irish Dance are qualified to enter a feis under the CLRG organization. 

• If you have never heard of a feis before, click here >

• ​We encourage dancers to perform at a feis after at least 6 months of enrollment. A feis gives dancers the opportunity to take their dancing to the stage and help them progress in their skills to be the best dancer they can be. 

 

While attending a feis we expect:

• Dancers to follow the rules set in place by the organizers of the feis.

• Encourage each other and dancers from other schools. 

• Do not video tape per the CLRG rules.

• Wear the proper costuming while performing on stage.

• Enter a dancer in their proper age group and level. If you do not know your dancer's feis age or level please as the teachers.

• Remember you and your dancer are representing the Murphy Academy. If you are not being respectful of the feis, organizers, dancers, teachers, or adjudicators there will be consequences. 

• Parents/Dancers must have proper sportsmanlike behavior whether the results.

• Parents/Dancers are not allowed to ask other dancers for their placements or marks.

• We ask that parents keep track of your dancer's placements through the levels and follow the rules and guidance of the teachers.

• Parents must not put pressure on their children the move up the levels or achieve certain placements. 

• Dancers must accept their placements with grace and regardless of the marks be encouraged to be the best dancer they can be.
