Next up is our superstar ✨Peyton Clemons✨
1. I started at OFA when I was just a little baby at 3!! However, I transferred back to OFA at 17 and am now back at my original school. 😘
2. My favourite dance is probably my set that was specially made just for me. Blackthorn Stick. Blackthorn Stick is my fav set, so to have it made for me, is so special and brings a little spark inside of me every time I dance it. I also love the tune of Blackthorn Stick. Anybody that knows me, knows my obsession for Irish Dance music 😉
3. I love how supportive OFA is and how we are there for each other no matter what. We are there for the good and the bad times and always make the best out of everything. I love how hard the class works and I can go to class in a bad mood and leave with a smile because my class mates never fail to make me smile and laugh. OFA is such a positive environment and an environment that allows us to push each other and work hard, yet still have some fun 😉
4. My fav FEIS memory was definitely winning both days back to back at my first FEIS back with OFA in Palm Springs with Carolyn. I had just had a rough Oireachtas, so to go out there just a week after a devastating result and to win it against major competitors was huge. It helped me to pick myself up again and allowed me to know that “ I can do it” I also loved the ID dance with Autumn and Lucy. I couldn’t believe we actually won. I had never won a fun dance like that before so it was special to win along side two of my best friends.
5. My goal is to enjoy Irish Dance to the fullest as I always have. To continue to let Irish Dance bring me light and life. Irish Dance means so much to me and is my everything, so my goal is to continue to enjoy it and soak in all the memories.
Peyton we just love you and are so amazed at how dedicated you are to the sport, and how you always make such a good comeback! ❤️🖤

Hello, Adult Dancers!
On behalf of the OFA Friendship Feis, I warmly invite all of you (and your non-adult dancer friends and family members) to join us for our 9th annual feis in St. Louis, MO July 27th-28th.
-
This year, we are taking our adult comps to the next level, and we're hoping we can get a significant number of competitors to join us! Here's what's going on:
-
We are going to hold an Adult Extravaganza on Saturday evening, 7/27, where we run all adult grade level and team competitions, followed by an adult dancer get-together/social. Quickfeis is labeling this as a "Pre-feis", but just consider it an adult "second chance" opportunity! On Sunday, 7/28, we will offer adult grade competitions again, as well as all categories of adult championships, assumining we have entries for everything!
-Our feis is a double-feis weekend. On Saturday day, the Clarkson School is hosting the An Samhra Feis at the same venue. They are also offering grade exams on Friday, 7/26 at their studio a few miles from the hotel. If desired, you can hit grade exams, two full feiseanna, and second chance for grade levels, plus a chance to meet up and hang out with other members of the adult Irish dance community!
-The feis is being held at the St. Louis Hilton-Frontenac, convenient to Lambert Airport, and located right off Interstate 64. It has a beautiful outdoor pool, fitness center and sauna, is located across the street from a luxury shopping mall (Plaza Frontenac), a boutique grocery store, several delicious restaurants, and of course, a Starbucks!. The hotel feis rate is $159, and can be booked by calling 314-993-1100 with code IRD24.
-
Our theme is, of course, Friendship! We'll have friendship bracelets for all, an opportunity to give and receive messages of good luck and encouragement, and we are confident you'll head home with new friends!
-
Please consider joining us for this special weekend! We have a ton of fun things in store for our non-adult dancers as well! Registration is now open at www.quickfeis.com.
-
Hope to see you there!
