Rocket City Hybrid feis!
Our first hybrid (live/video submission) competition will be held July 26 in Friendswood, TX, (just south of Houston).
This is an open platform competition and will feature both live dancers and video submissions to run alongside live competitions.
There will be a combined public performance for live dancers in attendance later that evening after the feis is over.
Can’t make it? Film your dancer before they leave for summer and send it to us so they can take part!
Video entry dancers and their teachers will be sent a zoom link to watch the competition. Live dancers will have a screen to view their video competitors at the same time at the venue.
As previously mentioned, all judges-in-training are encouraged to join a private zoom link for the event to get valuable judging experience. There are already candidates from various organizations and independents who are interested. There will be a zoom discussion with the judge and candidates tuning in for a great discussion about the event and results.
If you are a candidate for an adjudicator’s exam and want to have access, you need to message or email me at rttew@yahoo.com. I am limiting spaces to 25. There is no fee for this.
Help us make this a successful event!
