Subject: Official Statement East Bay Feis

Dear Teachers, Parents and Dancers,

Earlier in 2024,it became apparent for reasons that do not include anything related to Irish Dance, our dance school or Feis, we may need to prioritize our family and a loved one in late summer/early fall. We communicated with local Teachers who know us well and the reason will not be disclosed publicly. It has nothing to do with the teachers, school or Feis and is a private matter.

Another school asked if they could host an event in during our one year hiatus, and we said “absolutely. We will show up as a school on the weekend in any and every way possible”. For reasons beyond our and the other schools control, we learned last week that it was not possible for this to happen. The reason no official communication was sent prior to now is that all involved thought there was a solution.

After last weekends Feis, other long standing schools in the Bay Area offered to see if we could continue with a Feis or not. At this point, it’s only fair to all involved to let you know we are not running a 2024 Feis.

We hope you understand and thank so many people in the community that have demonstrated such understanding and grace.

Best of luck to all of the schools and dancers as they prepare for and compete in the WRO.

Eileen and Annie
