The Feis , the Irish word for "festival" provides a chance for dancers to showcase their dancing skills in a competitive and fun environment. The Keenan Irish Dance School competes annually in the following feissana (plural for feis ):

• John Kennelly Memorial Feis, January - Sacramento
• Feis San Francisco, February - San Francisco
• Golden State Feis, April - San Francisco
• Silicon Valley Feis, July - Santa Clara
• East Bay Feis, October - Oakland

There are nominal fees to attend each feis and a costume is required. The teacher will determine when a dancer is ready for a Feis , yet competing in feissana is not a requirement to be a dancer in the school. You can learn more about feisanna in our handbook.
