How it Works
Feis Fit small groups are more like small group personal training than a typical large group fitness class. Groups of 3-6 dancers get to focus on getting stronger, improving stamina, injury prevention, and technique enhancement. Every dancer has different things they need to work on, that’s why I make sure these workouts are designed for YOU!
- Classes will be 1 hour and 15 minutes long for groups of 3-6. You will be given homework to complete each week based on your goals. Groups of 2 are 60-minutes long.
- Dancers can either pick their own group of friends to work with or can ask to be assigned to a group of 3-6 dancers who are of a similar age/level.
- If dancers have a group they want to sign up with, send me an email at feisfitonline@gmail.com with everyone’s names, emails, and the best day for the group to meet each week.
- Dancers are to bring a training/practice journal, pen or pencil, and water bottle. If dancers prefer using their phone to write down homework, that is okay too.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What is the price of the program?
A: 396usd for all 11 weeks. Can be paid in full or 2 payments.
Q: What equipment do I need?
A: Dancers do NOT need to bring any equipment to class. But for homework, a set of therabands (heavy and light), yoga mat, and 2 yoga blocks are highly recommended for homework. If dancers have access to weights for homework, that’s even better!
Q: What ages do you recommend for the program?
A: 10+; I’ll occasionally work with dancers younger than 10 if they are PC or above and/or recommended by a teacher.
Q: What days/times are classes?
A: Please email Jeanne at feisfitonline@gmail.com for class times.
Q: What dates does the program run?
A: Oireachtas Prep: September 11th-November 19th, 2022
Winter Prep: January 15th-March 31st, 2023
Nationals Prep: April 16th-July 1st, 2023 (There will be a sub for classes inbetween June 14th-June 25th)
Summer Session II and Oireachtas prep 2023 dates are TBD!
Q: My dancer wants to join but he/she can only make it to a couple classes. Can they still join?
A: Although they technically can still join, I’d recommend joining only if they can make it to the majority of classes. The classes build on each other so if they miss several classes, they aren’t getting the most out of the program and we have to slow down the class to re-teach skills dancers may have missed.
Q: How long will homework take?
A: 20-40 minutes, 2-5 days per week. This depends on what dancers are working on, their level, age, and goals.
About Jeanne
My name is Jeanne Weller, and I fell in love with Irish Dancing at age 6. Throughout my dancing career I competed in many regional, national, and world championships both individually and on teams. After my years as a competitor, I decided to focus on the fitness piece required for excellent dancing that many dancers miss. I am very passionate about learning how the human body works and how to combine strength and conditioning principles with Irish Dance movement patterns to help every dancer reach their full potential.
At Feis Fit I truly believe that learning to enjoy the journey and challenges of Irish Dancing in a positive supportive community is the MOST important part of dancing. We were made to connect, grow, and help each other…and THAT is what makes Feis Fit truly great.
