How should you prepare for a feis?

First of all, you need to practise your steps in your dances! You do well in the feis, you win medals or trophies, and of course, that is very good.

First your wig and your shoes are the most important part. Make sure you have your wig in your wig box and the correct shoes, because if you do not have the right shoes you're knocked out of competition. So sad. Also the beginners shoes are called soft shoes, if you did not know that. Next you need your skirt or dress. For beginners, all you need is a white blouse and a black skirt. Make sure you have your undershorts on so no one sees your underwear! And well if you're an advanced beginner, well you should know that by now. Thank you and have luck at what-ever-competition-you're-in!
