Irish Dance Costumes

Class Attire

Irish dancing pumps and white poodle socks are required for dancing class. Shorts are suitable but skirts are not unless they are worn with tights or leggings. School uniforms, jeans or baggy trousers are not suitable for dancing class.

Competition Costumes

If a dancer decides to compete in feisanna (Irish dancing competitons), they must be dressed in either a beginners, class or solo costume, depending on their age and level. Beginners now matter what age compete in a beginners costume; these are inexpensive, and last a dancer until they are competition in the beginners "C" competitions, at which time they progress to a class costume. A dancer wears a class costume until they are 9 yrs old, even if they have progressed to pre-open or open grades. At the age of ten and competing in  pre-open or open grades, they will require a solo dress for girls or a solo costume for boys.

If a class costume of appropriate size is available, the dancer can pay a contribution towards the cost of the dress; otherwise the class fund contributes 50% of the cost of having a dress made, and the dancer contributes 50%.

Solo Costume

Solo costumes are chosen by the dancer themselves, for their first dress these are typically bought from another dancer. Dancers in Open grades get dresses made, and then sell them on to another dancer at about 50% of the purchase price.
