Subject: Couldn't post in reply to Exams so had to post new message here:

You brought up good points about the Ceili Dances and Diploma, but generally (except with very young dancers advancing too quickly into Open) one would expect a dancer that starts dancing at 4 or 5 to have covered the syllabus, including the Ceili Dances by the time they are around 12 or 13 when most would be in Open (probably most for quite some time).

I'm wondering why a Mom is promoting and wanting to start classes. Is this Mom also a TCRG? Don't you think that it's up to each individual teacher to organize the classes for their own School? It needs to be started when the dancers are young and incorporated into the actual classes.

My intention was to see if we could offer exams at a Feis. So that children (and adults) who weren't keen on competing would have something.

I am not a TCRG just a parent who has one daughter who loves to compete and one who doesn't but loves to dance. Sure I could (and probably will now) just organise exams for our school but I thought it could be something good for our region.

Yes, I understand that some schools already offer them. So this message doesn't apply to you.

I don't agree with you about being in Open and having danced all the Ceili dances that you need. Many, many schools don't teach figures unless they have to. I don't know of many dancers who own a copy of An Rince Foirne. For the exam you need to know the terminology of the book.

I'm sorry if there was some confusion. But nowhere did the word classes ever appear in my posts.

WASHINGTON (AP) - Ten 2006 passenger cars won praise from the insurance industry Sunday for offering top-of-the-line protection to passengers in front, side and rear crashes.
The Insurance Institute for Highway Safety announced a new designation, the Top Safety Pick award, based on the performance of vehicles in their crash tests.
Winners of the institute's gold award included the Ford Five Hundred and Mercury Montego with optional side air bags; the Saab 9-3; the Subaru Legacy; and the Honda Civic four-door. The Five Hundred and Montego are corporate twins and were considered by the institute to be the same car, for award purposes.
They earned top scores in frontal offset and side impact tests, and a test that reviews seat and head restraints in rear crashes.
The silver award went to the Audi A6, Audi A3 and Audi A4; the Chevrolet Malibu with optional side air bags; and the Volkswagen Jetta and Passat.
