History

Starting with a handful of members in 2014 and no feis system in  place, the members of An Chomhdhail USA initiated an ambitious expansion program that has seen its parent organization now  boasting feiseanna throughout the United States.  The  membership has grown exponentially as teachers and dancers  realize there are other options in the USA for high quality  competitive Irish dancing.   

Open Platform

An Chomhdhail USA participates in the Open Platform  competition circuit in North America to allow its dancers to  compete more frequently.  Open platform is a relatively new  concept in North America, wherein dancers are allowed to  compete outside of their own organization, and vice versa.  The  competitions are run by the rules of their respective  organizations, and all dancers must abide by them regardless of  affiliation.
