This weekend was my second feis, pronounced "fesh" (
my first one was in June). I danced 5 different solo dances: 3 soft shoe and 2 hard shoe. The hornpipe (a hard shoe dance) was dreadful. I was so terribly nervous that I would start at the wrong moment that when I actually did start at the right time, I didn't trust myself and started dancing really fast to try to make up for it...throwing my rhythm for the rest of the dance. Blech. But I managed to pull off 2 firsts and a third in my soft shoe dances. Hurrah!
This is my dancing friend Jessica who has the most amazing calves you've ever seen. Her leaps are spectacular.
And these are my medals. They're much less impressive than the last feis. If any of you have small children who want a costume prop, let me know. Oh, and don't mind the nasty looking wall behind me. That's what happens to plaster when it's covered by 60 years of wallpaper.

YEAH!! Good job! I hate when nerves hit too much!
ps. I just read your post about adjusments and laughed... Skyler always puts the toilet seat down too... but somehow didn't two days ago, and I was caught off guard at 6am.. lol :)
Huzzah! Do your medals mean that you get to move up a level?
I moved from beginner to novice in my light jig. I stayed the same in my reel. I would have moved up to "Prizewinner" in my Slip jig had there been FIVE people competing. Alas, there were only 4. So I'm still a novice. But a more experienced novice, at least.
Super! I'm sure your calves are quite impressive these days.
Your hair rocks!
