21.01.2022 The Beginning for Kathleen McAleer "There was a real shortage of competitions for dancers, and the time was right 23 years ago to start something new in Melbourne. The first McAleer Feis, had 60 competitors and it has grown to the Championship it is today. It has and will always be a highlight of my dancing career' Advice to dancers "That whilst we are not together in 2020, let's be together in spirit and look back on the amazing memories we have made and look forward to many more to come."

As a dancer, it was the first time I got to see my interstate friends for the year and signified the beginning of the competition season. Now as a TCRG, I have so much pride seeing our school community come together to put on an amazing event." Everyone remembers the moment they end up on the blocks!
