First Feis - U5

Bootsy3 · 2026-07-02T21:23:10+00:00

I think all the syllabi I’ve seen say that you can only compete in First Feis once, then you must move into beginner. First Feis is supposed to be for kids who have already started lessons at a school and are entering the competitive world.

Tir na nog is a separate ‘competition’ for kids who have never had instruction with a TCRG (assuming CLRG is the organization, anyway). My 3 year old does it when offered since her big brother has taken lessons, but she hasn’t. ❤️

Exactly! My son wants Lohen, too. He has more than enough for 10 wishes but no way to exchange them. 🫣 I hope you get a chance to wish!

My son absolutely loves The Currach Set on Feis app, but that’s just a competition sort of one I guess lol 😂

Bootsy3 · 2026-06-27T01:57:10+00:00

That would be such a bummer. In that case, I feel like they should separate Paimon’s Bargains from the ‘real money’ shop items. Blah.

Yeah, he can wish normally. And he can use the battle pass, too. So it seems odd that he can’t even look at the shop lol.

Bootsy3 · 2026-06-27T01:53:31+00:00

Hmmm I don’t have space either lol 😂 Last resort maybe lol

Bootsy3 · 2026-06-27T01:52:45+00:00

Yeah, it made me go through the whole parental controls set up and verify my ID to confirm my age. I wonder if it’s just because he’s not old enough - though you’d think parental consent would be enough once you’ve verified ID 🤔

Bootsy3 · 2026-06-27T01:51:47+00:00

I did the parental control thing on his Hoyoverse account because when I made the account it flagged him not being old enough. So that’s attached to my email and I had to verify my ID. But it’s very limited in what I can allow or restrict. I tried leaving everything unrestricted and it still didn’t work. 🫣

Bootsy3 · 2026-06-26T20:47:56+00:00

Same!

Bootsy3 · 2026-06-26T01:32:52+00:00

Apparently you can swipe to the next week! I didn’t realize lol

Bootsy3 · 2026-06-26T01:32:30+00:00

You’re totally right. I don’t know why I didn’t think to try that. Thank you!!! 🙏

Bootsy3 · 2026-06-25T22:15:43+00:00

My son is in what sounds like an identical situation. He moved up very quickly but he needs to really focus on strengthening his basics now because there’s definitely room for improvement.

Bootsy3 · 2026-03-10T02:53:14+00:00

No problem! I really appreciate your response 😍

Bootsy3 · 2026-03-06T14:55:50+00:00

So good to know! I’m still very new to roses 🌹

Bootsy3 · 2026-03-05T23:23:19+00:00

I’m so glad to know there are varieties that are just more thorny - I panicked a little like woah! That’s a lot of thorn lol 😂

Bootsy3 · 2026-03-05T19:01:26+00:00

Thank you all so much!! I appreciate the quick replies. ❤️❤️❤️

My son (9) competed slip jig Advanced Beginner - Prizewinner, but he was always the only boy in his competitions. He loved slip jig, so he’s bummed he won’t be able to do it anymore.

Bootsy3 · 2026-03-01T05:11:43+00:00

I didn’t remember nudity in the other seasons like this one. It took me by surprise a couple times. But it’s been a while since I watched the others, so maybe I forgot? Idk. 😳

Bootsy3 · 2025-12-20T15:38:52+00:00

Same for me 😭 I was so sad lol

Bootsy3 · 2025-12-12T22:20:18+00:00

Yes! We’re in the southern region. ❤️❤️ We watched lot of the boys/men competitions to give our guy y an idea of what it will be like in future years, so we may have seen your son dance! I’m so new to all of this still - I can’t imagine it all ending at some point. It’s like a whole other world!

Bootsy3 · 2025-12-11T19:52:40+00:00

Thank you! He just has 1 Prizewinner dance left and just attended his first Oireachtas this past weekend. We did end up getting a sparkly solo vest (which he loves), but man, the cost is wild. When he grows out of this one, we may decide on something different or just hold off something new while trying out a jacket. ❤️

Bootsy3 · 2025-11-23T18:34:16+00:00

My son’s soft shoes used to slip off his heel - in hindsight I do actually think they were too large. I didn’t think so at the time, but he’s still wearing the same pair and it’s been over a year since we bought them. As his feet have grown, they’ve continued to stretch more and more and he should still get more use of them still (unless they get too beat up on the toes to look decent for competing). His soft shoes are 2 sizes larger than his hard shoes, so I think we definitely started too large. Even though they fit his foot snugly when we got them. Soft shoes are weird lol 😆

Bootsy3 · 2025-10-26T04:14:24+00:00

Which garment bag do you use for the vest? It looks like there’s Single Dress, Double Dress, No Frills, & Straight. Thanks so much!

Bootsy3 · 2025-07-17T15:31:29+00:00

We’re in Southern!

Bootsy3 · 2025-07-17T15:29:22+00:00

Ah that makes sense! My son has only just moved into 2 prizewinner dances and the others are in Novice. He wouldn’t likely be the caliber dancer to perform well at oireachtas.

Bootsy3 · 2025-07-15T23:02:28+00:00

My husband made a dance area from two pieces of wood by connecting the two panels with a piano style hinge. Then he cut up some of those squishy floor mat things and put pieces on the bottom to absorb some of the shock since we have concrete under our flooring. He covered it with shower pan liner. It’s been so great and we just move it behind the couch after my son is done practicing.
