World and International Championships 2017
We are excited to announce that the next year’s Worlds event will be held in INEC Killarney, Ireland from 21st to 23rd of April 2017. The event will include a Grade Feis as well as the 1st WIDA International Open Championships for age groups U8/U9/U10 and the 9th WIDA World Championships for age groups U11 and older. There will be no European Championships in 2017.
The Worlds event 2017 will take some pressure off the championship dancers and make it more accessible (i.e. fewer days off required and lower hotel expenses) while encouraging the signature friendly atmosphere of WIDA events. We look forward to welcoming you to the best WIDA Worlds yet!

Fees for Grade Exams:
WIDA prides itself on being a fair organisation. For instance, upon successful completion of Grades 1-11 the candidates are awarded both TCRG and TMRF qualifications. This equivalence of Grades and Teacher exams is now reflected in the fee scheme for the Grade exams (effective from August 1, 2016).
