Carolyn Robinson Top 3?? -- I DON'T THINK SO, 10:59:45 11/09/09 Mon [33]
What the heck?? take a look at this false bio. WHEN did Carolyn Robinson place in the TOP THREE at North American's?? GOOD GRIEF, she can barely place at the O

http://www.oconnoririshdance.com/teacher.htm

Carolyn Robinson
Assistant Instructor
Carolyn has been dancing for 12 years and has placed in the top three at both North Americans and other international competitions. Carolyn is preparing to dance at the North American Championships in Nashville this July.

She is currently in her 3rd year of university at UBC and is studying geography to obtain her degrees in both Education and Geomorphology.

        The OP is just reacting to lies printed in order to attract customers. I think that's a crime. Why does it upset you? Did you write the lies??? (NT) -- ,, 18:48:55 09/15/09 Tue
        
        Yes there must be "truth" in adverstising but there is also a proper "forum" to persue the matter rather than slam the girls abilities on this board, maybe the better business bureau. If you need to question this so badly why not contact the school or the NAFCt (NT) -- not her mom and did not write the bio !, 13:35:56 09/16/09 Wed
        
        This is the perfect forum because this is how the word will get to the tc and the would-be tc so that they remove those lies promptly. . (NT) -- ,, 19:09:41 09/16/09 Wed

        I must be getting old, to me she is a girl. Please consider she may have not written the bio herself but indeed they need to take it down. (NT) -- **, 10:19:02 09/17/09 Thu
  - This FALSE INFORMATION is posted on a website. It's wrong. Carolyn has never placed Top 3 in OC let alone at Nationals. It's a lie. It needs to be noted and taken OFF their website NOW> (NT) -- ., 12:36:28 09/14/09 Mon
- Why would O'Connor post such gibberish? I don't get it. They were accurate about Courtenay O'Brien's Bio. Why did they hire a fiction writer for Carolyn? She's always been really average, never one of the dancers in her age group that stood out. (NT) -- ,, 12:45:57 09/14/09 Mon
- Could it be that she was on a team that placed top 3? Legit in that case. (NT) -- team mom, 20:49:02 09/18/09 Fri
  - Definitely not. The Comerford USA Sr's Team has done very well at a high level internationally, but Carolyn has never been part of a high placing team. (NT) -- ,, 21:48:03 09/18/09 Fri

    - Re: Not a "hobby", just annoying to see blatant misrepresentation. -- me, 22:32:33 09/24/09 Thu
      - GET A GRIP. Some of us know Carolyn, so seeing that was a joke. And the 'fixed' part isn't much better. SHEESH. sure.. maybe she 'placed in the top 3' but at what level??!! it's very misleading making her out to be a star that she never has been in ID. Read it for yourself: Carolyn has placed in the top three at Canadian and International Championships. She is currently in her 4th year of university at UBC and is studying geography to obtain her degrees in both Education and Geomorphology. (NT) -- Courtney's is honest, Carolyn's is not., 23:34:58 09/24/09 Thu
        
        Here's Courtney's: and let me say, the way Carolyn's is written you'd get the impression that she was the better dancer than Courtenay which has never been true: 'Courtney has been dancing and competing since she was 9. She has competed nationally and qualified for worlds many times. Currently, she is training for the North American Championships in Nashville, Tennesse and also studying Business Administration at Simon Fraser University.' (NT) -- let's have some integrity in advertising please and respect for actual talent and accomplishment, 23:37:13 09/24/09 Thu
      - It wasn't a typo. Perhaps Carolyn runs the website and Terri never checked what she'd posted about herself? I'm sure she would have been as horrified as the rest of us if she'd been aware. (NT) -- ., 23:39:50 09/24/09 Thu

  - uhh... fiction writing is not a bio. sorry you can't comprehend that. (NT) -- ., 01:11:51 09/25/09 Fri
    - I agree. If you can't complain about false advertising on this board what can you complain about?? (NT) -- Lets just be honest, 18:52:58 09/26/09 Sat
- They changed the bio now, its accurate. (NT) -- enough is enough, stop harassing the poor girl, 09:45:29 09/28/09 Mon
  - It's still misleading. Placed in the Top 3 internationally AT WHAT LEVEL??? whoever wrote Courtenay's should write Carolyn's because they totally could have said more about Courteny because she's the better dancer and been honest about Carolyn. "She's a hard-working dancer who loves to dance and is living proof that anyone can enjoy dance even with meager accomplishments" (NT) -- ., 23:16:55 09/28/09 Mon
- Re: Carolyn Robinson Top 3?? (NT) -- Good job Ladies that rant was worthy of the Western US Board (LOL), 14:32:08 09/28/09 Mon

  - What W. Canadian feis is in December? (NT) -- Wish more before Oireachtas!, 23:17:47 10/04/09 Sun
    - I should clarify - I meant there are no BC feisanna until May. This means that BC parents have to travel to either Alberta or Washington for a feis and this just isn't an option for many parents. (NT) -- OP, 06:34:32 10/05/09 Mon
    - Dedanaan in BC was a Dec. feis. word is that it is not happening. (NT) -- **, 13:47:46 10/05/09 Mon

        I really don't see how those issues are related. If Dedanaan is moving to a Spring feis they likely felt it was too much to host 2 in the same year ! ie Dec and May just too much work while other schools host nothing ! (NT) -- **, 14:00:23 10/06/09 Tue

        DeDannans camp was so controversial this year, but I guess they went ahead because it benefits them. (NT) -- ,, 21:18:16 10/06/09 Tue
        perhaps attendance is low at that time of year and lets face it its a busy time of year and many volunteers would likely have other committments. perhaps a larger school should take the dec date as they would have a greater pool of volunteers ?? (NT) -- **, 09:40:37 10/07/09 Wed

        why couldnt the Victoria school make the date work before DeD took it last year ? why arent you asking why o'connor is not holding up to their date on Oct 18 ?? (NT) -- **, 23:27:50 10/07/09 Wed
        
        Good question, but I think that school is in transition with O' Brien aren't they? and isn't O'Connor more in Europe than Canada these days? disappointed that both of these schools are blowing off the committment. Much more important than the camps. (NT) -- ., 12:45:38 10/08/09 Thu
        
        I am not from DeD but here is where I have a problem with your post... DeD is not blowing off a commitment they are just going for a different date. O'Connor Feis is completely gone and wouldnt a merger bring a stronger volunteer force for your Feis. to me camps and Feis are different. the camp was open to everyone if they choose to go (dont go there on affiliation and many schools have workshops and guest teachers etc) and the later feis date affects their dancers too remember ? not just our DDs (NT) -- when is your schools feis ?, 13:21:41 10/08/09 Thu
        
        Yes but their new date conflicts with an existing feis and we need the Dec Feis. Don't get it. (NT) -- ., 15:23:45 10/08/09 Thu
        
        sorry who do the conflict with in the lower mainland. read down below if you are worried about penk, they change their dates to run more like a pre-worlds feis, this year Penk is going pre- nans just dont get why you are all over DeD? (NT) -- **, 07:17:32 10/09/09 Fri

        Loved it back in the day when Comerford's Christmas Feis was in December. BEST Feis of the year. GLAD Stewart keeps the same date, LOVE THAT. And WHAT????>>> is DeDanaan doing nosing in on Penk's May territory???? what is wrong with them?? (NT) -- ., 12:00:23 10/06/09 Tue
        
        Comeford still has a Christmas feis in Dec. as for Penks may date we have been dancing a couple of years and found the Penk date has changed each year. Last year was April I think the year before that was January, it could be that Dedanaan is moving away from Christmas as thats a busy time of year. Other organisers of course are stuck planning around the Olympics and paralympics as venues are booked up ....not great for us. too bad we have nothing in BC for this fall.... (NT) -- **, 12:40:37 10/06/09 Tue
        
        Although the Olympics pose a challenge, there was a window of opportunity in the fall for a pre-O feis and there are also gaps in March and April. I just don't understand why there are only three schools hosting feisanna in an area that has two other large schools. Yes - it's a ton of work but Irish Dance will continue to decline if people have to travel far and wide for a feis. Time to think long term folks . . . (NT) -- No name, 13:31:04 10/06/09 Tue
        By the way, Comerford's Christmas Feis is indeed still in December but it's in Palm Springs which doesn't address the issue of lack of feisanna in BC. Would love to go to it but not sure the budget will permit. (NT) -- Saving pennies, 13:33:35 10/06/09 Tue
        
        OH I KNOW Comerford still holds their Christmas Feis in Cali. Schools were queing up to grab that spot when Tony left and DeD got it. NOW they're ditching it and grabbing Penk's spot. WHY??? that's a perfect time for a feis and kids LOVE the Christmas Feis (as long as they go with the Christmas theme though, otherwise it won't be a hit). Well, hope Penk grabs that spot (or better yet, another school step up to the plate). I don't understand how DeD's switch was approved. (NT) -- ., 15:32:08 10/06/09 Tue
        
        first year we went to the dec feis it was supposed to be run by a Victoria school...it was almost cancelled and DeD. stepped up to help them out and it still ran. then last year they did it on their own. why bash them when at least they have a feis.

- would be great to have more feis dates every year not just this "olympic" year it will hurt not to have Van Eire. would be great if the other schools step up and start holding a feis each year, perhaps though the only ones discussing this here are already from the schools that do host a feis, how do we as outsiders get the other schools to step up ? they could even co-chair a feis between schools .... (NT) -- ***, 14:20:40 10/06/09 Tue
  - Well, that's how Van Eire started. The smaller schools that didn't have the resources to host one on their own created that association. I don't see why they couldn't do what the Variety Club does and host a Spring AND Fall feis! now THAT might work, because they have the resources to pull it off. (NT) -- ., 15:36:28 10/06/09 Tue
    - Van Eire is actually a parent-run organization that is made up of representative from 8 Vancouver area schools. There aren't any teachers involved in the planning or running of this feis. It is really the ultimate example of a collaborative and cooperative effort between parents from different schools. (NT) -- Proud to be associated!, 18:04:52 10/06/09 Tue
      - EXACTLY, that's why they are the perfect association to run TWO feiseanna a year. Would be simple. Just plan for both at the same time. (NT) -- ,, 21:17:14 10/06/09 Tue
        
        are you involved with Van Eire. I would never presume to expect it would be simple for them to run 2 a year as lets face it the volunteers have commitments to their own schools and may well help run their own schools feis as well.... (NT) -- ***, 09:44:09 10/07/09 Wed
        
        plus, the volunteers have lives outside of dance that include work and families. I know that my employer wouldn't take too kindly to my focus being placed on a second feis. And I am involved in Van Eire so I do speak from experience. (NT) -- No Name, 10:36:15 10/07/09 Wed
  - I think that parents from non-feis schools who recognize the value of a local feis need to lobby their schools to do a feis. I have no doubt that they would be provided assistance or guidance from other more experienced schools if needed. Plus, even the non-feis schools have reps on Van Eire and many of them have experience in the work required for a feis. (NT) -- Money crunch, 18:08:35 10/06/09 Tue
- Us Seattlites would love it too - there are only 3 in this area. Although we do get to Portland easier. And 2 of our smaller schools that might not be able to pull off a feis on their own, do work together to make sure one happens each year. (NT) -- Mom, 16:16:38 10/06/09 Tue
- I wish we could count on feises at the same time every year. Like the one of Father's Day, first weekend in Dec etc etc. Should be one every two months at least. (NT) -- m,, 21:20:23 10/06/09 Tue

  - I agree - the question of the original post was not intended to bash DeDanaan because they do hold a feis. The question is why aren't other area schools (NPIDA, Sionnaine) doing a feis. They are both big schools and perhaps it's time they took a turn at the work involved. (NT) -- NN, 07:56:25 10/09/09 Fri
    - The could do one together like they did the Reo Raftign jointly (NT) -- ., 22:45:14 10/09/09 Fri
- There are a number of issues at play here.... Olympics in Feb = No Van Eire and no more access to gaming for a while. That with dwindling head counts makes it impossible to run a feis without MAJOR fundraising. I agree. 2 schools sharing would be way easier, just as we've seen merges in schools, we should see shared feis dates. Even with 25,000 in entry revenue, a feis normally costs 35 - 40 grand to run.... It's mostly math, not volunteer head count or even the work involved. Up go the entry fees!! (NT) -- me, 15:45:14 10/10/09 Sat
- Tony's last head count was in the 600 range for entries at his last Vancouver Chirstmas feis. Lucky if you get 350 these days.... popularity is dwindling in Vancouver and in turn feis revenue. Feis expenses are even more since then... (NT) -- ., 22:23:18 10/10/09 Sat
  - But schools need to decide of they want to keep it from dying entirely. If there are fewer and fewer local feisanna, there will ultimately be fewer and fewer dancers. Some local schools have a policy that their competitive dancers are required to do ALL local feisanna but not all schools do this and the entries suffer as a result. I understand that you can't expect parents to bear the cost of travel but I don't understand when local schools don't fully support one another's feis. (NT) -- NN, 08:23:31 10/11/09 Sun
- The reason you don't get 100% support from 100% of the competitive dancers is that some dancers aren't as serious as others. Some dabble in competitions, but enjoy performances, parades, in house events. To force these parents to go to all competitions will loose more dancers who pay for the odd competition, but pay their teachers monthly no matter if they are competitive or not. Both are legitimate types of Irish Dancing and to cut them out of your programs because they don't compete isn't a wise business decision. The serious ones always go regardless. (NT) -- ., 11:36:01 10/11/09 Sun
- Re: Hard to believe.......Has anyone considered reducing Feis operating costs by using a large high school building for the weekend? Large gym/theatre competition spaces, vendors in the cafeteria, ample parking etc. for a fraction of the cost of 4 star hotel ballrooms. Common practice in England and might lead to more affordable feisianna for organizers & competitors. (NT) -- Feisdad, 19:54:08 10/18/09 Sun
  - This is not as simple an equation as it seems. As a feis organizer, I can tell you that often hotels work out to be less expense as the ballroom space cost is discounted considerably (ie 75% or more) if a room block is met. When comparing venue costs, we found that high schools etc were actually more expensive due to rental costs, late access for set up (ie after 7pm on Friday night) and the union requirement to have custodial staff on hand for the duration of the event. Often a hotel is actually a less expensive option as it attracts those from out-of-town thereby driving up entires and the final cost ends up lower. This may not be true for all regions but is for many major markets. (NT) -- NN, 20:01:55 10/18/09 Sun
- I have to agree with the last post. High schools and rec centres can be more expensive. The lowest rate you can get at these venues is in the neighbourhood of $3500 for the weekend. I tried calculating a 1 day event, and that doesn't bring costs down too much either. If we are bringing in in the neighbourhood of $25000 in entires and the costs add upt to say 35 to 40 grand, you'd have to hire less judges and run longer, cut down on award costs, have parents pick up all judges and musicians, have in house catering by the parents for breakfast and lunches, and run a bunch of "specials" at each level, along with 50/50, silent auctions, and get as much advertising and sponsorship as possible. This along with splitting start up costs with another class. Then you might be talking until we get gaming back in 5 - 10 years, or whenever we pay off the Olympics which is a completely different, yet just as annoying subject!!

        Okay - for the love of heaven - I have apologized for inadvertently leaving off Jessica's name. It was not intentional. Her accomplishment should indeed be recognized but so should everyone else's. Time to move on. (NT) -- NN, 22:40:44 10/19/09 Mon
        
        Stef is hardly a slow starter. She placed 11th at NANs this past July. And don't presume to think it's her last year. (NT) -- WCR mom, 22:31:49 10/19/09 Mon
- And just in - congrats to Erin Whelan U14 on her 39th at GBs! (NT) -- WCR Mom, 09:56:55 10/19/09 Mon
