Festival Dance Teachers Association

Festival Irish Dancing in Northern Ireland

WELCOME TO THE FESTIVAL DANCE TEACHERS ASSOCIATION

Our website provides information on rules, syllabus, schools, and events.  It includes details to you as a Dancer, Teacher or Visitor. It is not intended to replace the service that member teachers offer their dancers, but to provide global 24 hour access to information.

The Festival Dance Teachers Association (FDTA), was formed in 1971.  We have been organising and participating in Festivals and Championships ever since.  Our organisation offers a relaxed, yet vibrant atmosphere, in which to learn and compete in Irish Dancing.  There are currently schools at various locations throughout Northern Ireland.

The objects of the Association shall be to promote, foster, encourage and regulate Irish Festival Dancing in every legitimate way by holding competitions and championships under the rules set down by the Association, and by co-operating with kindred organisations throughout the world for the furtherment of Irish Dancing.  In doing this individuality of styles and the originality of our dances should be fostered, while ensuring that the traditional team dances and traditional set dance tunes are nurtured.
