• Beware of e-bay knock-off scam! -- from WR board, 17:26:56 04/09/08 Wed
  "The dresses are apparently being copied from original designs. Dresses are made in China and sold at really low prices. Please do not support this operation! Buyer beware--dresses are being mass produced. Same design available in multiple sizes.
  
  If you are a dressmaker, please contact the seller and tell them to stop stealing your designs.
  
  Link to their eBay store with the dresses listed:
  http://stores.ebay.com/AirGift123-Shop_Children-Dance-Dress_W0QQcolZ4QQdirZ1QQfsubZ19950999QQftidZ2QQtZkm "
  
  You'll notice also that all the pictures are from the original designers' websites so there's no telling what these dress look like, or if they even exist.
  
  Please take caution when ordering online! It's a shame that there are people who will steal and cheat to make a quick buck. Just want to make sure all the parents are aware and don't get pulled into this scam.
  
  If you want, you can report the listing from a link on the bottom of the page, or e-mail the "seller" directly. If you see any designs of a dm you know, please let them know! And keep you ears open if you hear of any poor new MAIDs raving about a deal on e-bay.
  
  Hopefully e-bay will remove these ads, but until then, please be cautious!

• Irish Dance Research - Central Washington University -- Christian Bruhn, 10:02:45 10/30/07 Tue
  My name is Christian Bruhn. I am completing graduate studies in exercise science at Central Washington University. I am working under the direction of Dr. Vince Nethery, Professor in CWU's Department of Health, Human Performance and Nutrition. My thesis work is focused on designing a workout program customized for the movements associated with Irish Dancing.
  
  I am requesting your assistance in completing a survey designed to examine the training habits among dancers. The study will help determine the relationship between skill level, extracurricular activities, cross-training and injuries within the Irish dance population. The research conducted will be used to help develop a training manual focused on preparing dancers for competition.
  
  Information will be obtained from past and present competitive Irish Dancers of all age and skill level groups. Ages will range from 10 to adult (minor participation in the study will be completed by parent or guardian).
  
  An anonymous survey has been constructed to provide information on gender, age, skill-level, dance training, cross-training activities, extracurricular activities and injuries. Two surveys will be utilized (a survey for adult dancers, and a survey for parents/guardians of minor dancers 18 and under).
  
  A website has been constructed to disperse the survey http://www.cwu.edu/~bruhniiic/IrishDanceSurvey/HomePage.html
  
  Reasonable and appropriate safeguards have been used in the creation of these web-based surveys to maximize the confidentiality and security of your responses. Participants cannot be identified through this survey¯ directly, demographically or statistically. No contact information or direct response is requested on the survey.
  
  I am hoping for your assistance in obtaining the information needed to conduct this research. With your assistance we can better identify and refine the training tools and techniques to help create stronger and healthier dancers.
  
  Thank you for your time.
  
  Christian N. Bruhn
  Central Washington University

• Challenge for our Troops -- Tracy D., 07:25:51 10/15/07 Mon
  Here is a challenge from Rince na Tiarna (of Buffalo, and Erie) to all dance schools in the U.S.A - beyond would be great too. With so many dancers this time of year spending a great deal of time in hotels for your Oireachtas…grab all the unused toiletries provided for you in your hotel room. If each school could bundle them up and send them for the troops overseas or local homeless shelters it would make a great impact. We have adopted 4 RNT family members troops and have already sent blank holiday cards for the troops to be able to send back home. We are collecting Christmas cards written from our dancers, calling cards, hotel/trial size personal hygiene products, sunscreen, and chapstick to send over. The big prize of this challenge is the great feeling you will have for uniting as a whole Irish Dance group doing a great deed. The men and woman overseas appreciate any products sent. Thanks.

• I would like to ask all of the readers of this board to sign a petition.Please see inside for details. -- Pat King, 19:59:28 07/18/07 Wed
  The Irish Government, in its misguided wisdom, has decided to build a motorway through one of the most important historical sites in Ireland and Europe.Tara was home to the High Kings of Ireland, and as such is critical in preserving our heritage and historical values.I ask that you take a minute of your time to sign this petition and hopefully reverse a repulsive decision for supposed progress.The petition can be found at http://www.petitiononline.com/Temair/petition.html.
  Thank you.

  I did Irish dance for 5 years when I was a teenager. I am now 21 years old and have not danced for 4 years. I am planning on starting up again (I've missed it!!). I won't be competing for a while (all those dances to learn again!!), but if/when I do, where would I start? I was at Prizewinner 16&Over when I quit. Would I be in Adult Prizewinner or back in Prizewinner 16&Over?? Anybody have any idea? Thanks! :)

  This is in part a thankyou to the wonderful North Americans who sent words of support via the Australian Message Board on the death of Lily Claro (5 times Australian Champion). Friends of Anne and Jen Claro are putting on a benefit night for them to help with the considerable expenses that have accummulated. There were some who did say they felt powerless to help, but through this night people can help in a practical way. More information can be found on the Irish Dancing in Sydney website.

• Question for WestCoasters: why are so many of your feiseanna 2 days? -- D. Robinson aka feismom.com (curious ECR FeisMom), 09:39:39 01/16/07 Tue
  I've seen some with caps of half of what some NY feiseanna pull off in one day, and wonder why this is? Is it a West Coast thang to have a more relaxed (although some might say drawn out/more expensive) feis experience? Do your dancers compete only 1 at a time?
  Not trying to be snarky, just wondering if the reasoning makes sense and application works if it might catch on out here.
  
  Any feisfolx out there who have competed in Western and Eastern (or other regional) competitions notice any other differences?
  
  For example, it seems a trend in upper NY competitions to award Open PW trophies from sometimes as low as 5th place up, whereas many Toronto ON feiseanna tend to only award a first place with a trophy. I'm also detecting a push from some feiseanna to have all of one age group in non-championships dances to stick to one stage (hopefully rotating the judges)- is this happening out West as well? Or perhaps did it always happen like that?
  
  (I'm writing an article for FeisMom.Com and am interested in input, thanks!)

  to sell your Irish Dance dresses and accessories. It is targeted
  to the Irish Community. I plan on keeping the site much cheaper
  than ebay. I will accept any input that you can offer. I am more
  than willing to set up a special section for your dance school
  or organization. Thank you, Jack McGlynn. The Irish One Group,

• Thank-You!! -- Niall Mulligan, 18:47:06 07/31/06 Mon
  I would just like to thank all the people (dancers,teachers,parents etc) who purchased a copy of my CD "Right On Time". Also those for their positive feedback. Unfortunately, we will probably be sold-out by the weekend, however more are being manufactured, and as soon as we have them,will be available on http://www.niallmulligan.com
  The site also includes a sound sample, which some folks had previously asked for, as well as audition info regarding an Irish Dance position on the Las Vegas strip.
  Again, Many Thanks, Niall Mulligan.
