Only in the case of back-to-back Feiseanna (successive days), in which case the first win in the first Feis will not change the dancer’s status for the second Feis.

A dancer is required to perform a minimum of two dances, a light shoe dance (reel or slip jig for females and reel only for males), and a hard shoe dance (treble jig or hornpipe) at the discretion of the dancer. There are no Preliminary Championship set dances.
