Dear teachers, dancers and parents.

It is with utmost pleasure that we invite you to our annual Kilkenny Feis ( Irish Dancing Competition)  in the Adelbert College Auditorium, Wassenaar, The Netherlands 23rd and 24th  Sept 2017. It’s a great opportunity to start the new dance year by trying out new steps in a friendly competitive manner.

Building on the success of last year we will also offer competitions in playing a musical instrument, singing a Celtic Song and saying one of your favorite Irish-Celtic poems on stage during the lunch break Saturday for all those Under 17.

This element of our planned weekend for Adults will take place Saturday evening in O Caseys Irish Bar downtown in the city of The Hague with a Dance Off as well.

In conjunction with the Trad Music workshopswill be offered in Irish Music.
