Grade Exams on Sat, 10/12

Feis Culkin Weekend, Montgomery County Fairgrounds

The Irish Dance Commission, An Coimisiún Le Rincí Gaelacha (CLRG), offers a series of 12 “grade exams” at local competitions (feis).  The official description on of grade exams is: The purpose of the grade examinations scheme is to provide a structured framework within which dancers can work towards an achievable goal and to provide a strong foundation in Irish dance. Grade examinations are unlike competitions in that each candidate is individually examined and receives a detailed written assessment of their performance and knowledge of the grade being attempted. The scheme consists of an optional preliminary grade, followed by 12 grades with each one becoming increasingly more demanding on the candidates’ skill, knowledge and ability. All 12 grade examinations must be completed to be eligible to apply for the TCRG examination.
