Congratulations to our new Gold Crown Champions!

Special thanks to Grainne and Colleen for the flawless running of the event. Click Here to see video coverage of the feis by the from local paper! About AAIDT AAIDT was the first, and remains the largest, open Irish dancing organization in the US. 12 years running!

AAIDT officiates dance competitions (Feisanna) throughout the US and abroad; including our annual World Championship.

Our exclusive Distance Feis allows competitors from around the world to participate in adjudicated feisanna without leaving home.

AAIDT believes that competition, in moderation, is an important element of Irish dancing. Competition is necessary to challenge students and measure progress, but does not need to be the exclusive focus of Irish dancing. We believe that dancing should be a positive social activity for all involved. Therefore, we strive to foster a community of sharing and mutual support among dance schools.
