2. We are in the planning stages to hold a Christmas ceili/recital. The tentative date will be Sunday, December 19. More information will follow throughout the summer and fall. Each family of the Coyle School will be required to attend this function.

Local competitions -
I do not receive any information in the mail regarding any upcoming feis - everything is done totally online. If your daughter is interested in attending a feis, you need to keep checking the following website for any and all information about the upcoming feis. I have a list of all local feis that your daughters should attend, you need to check when the feis opens . . .they all fill up quick so you need to enter early.

Here are two upcoming competitions that the girls should enter.
Even some of the beginner dancers should try one:
Celtic Fling Feis in Manheim, PA, Saturday, June 26 - http://parenfaire.com/celticfeis.html
Peter Smith Feis, Edison, NJ, Sunday, June 27 www.petersmithschool.com

The following website is a very good website to check for upcoming feis' - www.petersmithschool.com The feis' are listed by month. Below is a list of local competitons that our dancers should attend. If you are unsure about going to a feis or do not know what level to enter, please email or call me. I feel that all of our dancers are good and should try at least three competitions a year.
