OPGELET!
Dit jaar (2010) zijn de tempos van de muziek aangepast aan die van de voorafgaande feis. Het zijn dus NIET de standaard CLRG speeds die gebruikt worden, maar de Mainland Europe snelheden. Kijk het goed na in de onderstaande lijsten, zodat je zeker bent dat je op het juiste tempo repeteert!

ATTENTION!
Cette année (2010) , les vitesses des danses sont adaptées a ceux du feis qui précède les grades, donc les grades ne seront PAS faits avec les vitesses standards CLRG, mais avec les "vitesses Européennes". Vérifiez bien dans les listes ci-dessous que vous répètez avec les bonnes vitesses!

ATTENTION!
This year (2010) , the music speeds are NOT the standard CLRG speeds, because of the preceding feis. To avoid confusion, both feis and grade exams will be danced at Mainland European speeds. Please check the lists below to make sure you are practising at the correct speeds!
