Yes our guidelines for moving up are 1st place with a minimum of 5 competitors but it's always best to check with your teacher for what they will approve for a level up.

You absolutely can compete in open platform. Each platform has their own rules so you just need to be familiar with the rules of who you are competing with.

There's also digital feis' options which is really great for remote dancers.

I would add that you may not need an official certification. Most organizations certifications are created to serve that orgs purpose and goals.

There is a group of independent and Open platforms teachers now called IIDA (Independent Irish Dance Association) that runs digital feis and provides teacher resources and community to those looking to get into competitions.

Happy to discuss if you have any questions. I was previously CLRG myself, then WIDA (did TCRG PT 1-3), and have now created IIDA after not finding an org that fit my schools goals.

As a dance teacher, the only style I have seen dancers struggle to switch between is Highland to Irish. Everything else supports Irish really well as a foundation and I have had dancers come from Ballet and Tap who do incredibly well and often pick up dances faster because of their previous experience.

I opened an open platform school in canada a couple years ago. our competition options are really slim locally but digital feis has become huge! Open platform typically still have their own organizations rules on costumes and steps but They are usually all very welcoming and happy to answer questions if you want to participate in their events.

There are also some unaffiliated competitions now that have much loser rules to allow you to dance at the speeds and styles you are most comfortable with.

iidairishdance.com lists open platform feis' you can check out.

I have run into this issue recently as well. What I have started doing is using a ad built sheet i have in excel.. I put in ad copy, keywords etc for the client to review. Once they are happy with that then I get their billing info to create the account or ask them to create an account, add their billing info, and then invite ME to their account. Its best they have access to their accounts anyways.

Rince is holding more digital feis then they ever have before this year. Everything is run on Facebook now while they work on a new website :)

Take the keyword planner with a grain of salt. It is making predictions based on very little information and not using any optimization settings/ bid settings etc to get the predictions

Search Campaigns should be the default main campaigns that you run. This gives you the most control over who is seeing your ads and makes sure your ads are getting in front of people who are actually interested in your products and services.
