Welcome 

My Story

I'm part of an Irish dance team called McTeggart. We have performances and also competitions where we compete against other teams, which could be from the same city, same state, or other states. 

General Info

For our dances, we use 2 types of shoes:

Soft shoes are called Gillies or pumps and hard shoes. Hard shoes are similar to tap shoes, except that the tips and heels are made of fiberglass, instead of metal, and are significantly bulkier.

Competitions

The dance competition is referred to as a feis (pronounced "fesh") which means "festival" in Irish. The dress for competitions in the past was simply "Sunday best" (clothes one would wear to church). Irish Dance schools generally have school dresses, worn by lower-level competitors and in public performances.
