• Congrats to Dermot Doyle (1st place, McAleer feis Vic) and thankyou -- Vic mum, 20/06/05 18:32 [6]
  for such a wonderful display of dancing. Didn't get to see his set but heard it was brilliant. I think everyone there that saw Dermot's dancing was blown away and fully appreciated the high standard of dancing we were treated to.

• The 'hotties' thread -- Moderator, 2/04/05 13:58 [2]
  Hi all,
  
  I have had a few complaints about the 'hotties' thread that had been floating around here for a some time. Some people didnt appreciate their kids being talked about and instead of going through and flicking off posts one by one it was much easier for me to remove the entire thread. If you would like to me resurrect and edit the old one I can, otherwise feel free to try again. However if peoples names get brought up again who had previously complained I will be editing.
  
  Thanks guys.

• why do you dance? -- dancer, 17/03/05 10:49 [5]
  What is the focus of your irish dancing? Do you dance to perform at dance outs or do you focus on competition. Does your school focus on teams or solos? It seems there are a few schools in Sydney who mainly focus on competition and some that focus on doing dance outs but dont do well then in competition. What is your passion?

    • freedom of speech? (NT) -- shut up., 15/10/04 21:23
    • Its artificial to only allow good comments, and not accept even subtly expressed negative ones. If Cassie cares what ppl think of her dress, then she should to get an accurate opinion poll, and the fact is, some people lovd it, and some, were horrified. It wasnt the only dress that looked like a bubble bath, either. (NT) -- There shud b a rule that dresses have sthing irish on them., 19/10/04 13:27
      • a rule that dresses should have irish things on them! - everyones dress would eventually look the same! get with the times! you can only have so much on a dress, please you cant be serious..can u??? (NT) -- kimmy., 20/10/04 22:40
        • Wat do u mean? Dresses have always had designs that are basicly irish. Almost every single dress has interlinkd designs... thats irish! It originatd from the Book of Kells. (NT) -- Ther are no bubles in the Book of Kells., 21/10/04 9:31
          • yes but a RULE is nonsense. Your dress, you wear it, its your choice. No harm in getting with the times. (NT) -- kimmy., 21/10/04 19:41
            • I completely agree with Kimmy here!! If ya look at Gavin Doherty's Dresses or infact any dresses from Ireland you will have a hard time finding something 'from the book of kells' in them!!! And they still look fantastic!!! Although I hated Cassies dress did her no favours at all... (NT) -- ..., 26/10/04 18:57
              • Have your opinion but there is no need to say what you just said about Cassie. Hate is a very strong word and who are you to say whether or not it did anything for her? (NT) -- kimmy. - be polite, 27/10/04 17:36
            • Sure, its ur own dres & ur own choice, but there r already rules on material, length & shoulder exposure, so it is not a stretch or a 'nonsense' to sugest they cud make a rule about content & designs. (NT) -- .., 28/10/04 8:40
              • unless the designs are inappropriate i still think its NONSENSE to bring in rules about what goes on your dress, that you pay for. (NT) -- kimmy., 28/10/04 15:03
