AIDA WA is excited to announce that since the recent phase of restrictions has been scheduled, we will hold a Feis on the weekend of the 29th and 30th of August. Whilst we have had to overcome many obstacles making all new arrangements for both feisanna and classes, AIDA WA members have worked very hard to accommodate our dancers and families. We will continue to work together to provide venues, syllabus and timetables for upcoming feisanna in due course. Our State Solo and Ceili Championships will be held between Friday 25th and Monday 28th September. AIDA WA is asking for your support!! We are looking for our local businesses and community leaders to offer their help through sponsorship for this upcoming State Championship Feis. Any contributions would be greatly appreciated. Please email Tony Ward for further details: sponsorship@aidawa.com.au We are all delighted to be back at class and our teachers have worked hard to prepare their studios to abide by the new social distancing guidelines. Some pictures on the opposite page of our Aida WA dancer’s following the new social distancing rule.
