• Mary Ellen qualified officially with CLRG as a TCRG but yes the yearly registration is expensive. The difference is that you wouldn't be able to compete in competitions including the NZ champs unless you are with a registered teacher. (NT) -- Hope this helps?, 12:50:03 06/19/14 Thu

• that girl lives in Arrowtown and is not teaching in Hamilton this class is run by an ex dancer of Ni Ghabhann school and her mother they are not qualified under TIDANZ to teach ID (NT) -- might be best to contact a registered teacher, 17:22:26 06/19/14 Thu
  • Weird that they'd not use their own names.... But aside from the competition thing, what are the benefits of going to a registered teacher ? (NT) -- Original poster (Trying to work out why's best for me), 19:05:00 06/19/14 Thu

• Registered teachers follow a syllabus and have an offical grading system available. More chance you will learn irish dancing correctly. (NT) -- ***, 20:12:31 06/19/14 Thu
  • Thanks. Am in high school, maybe want to compete but don't know for sure. Haven't done Irish before, only jazz and tap. These guys perform at my jazz school' send of year show every ear and they seem ok. They use lots of pop music and stuff though . I guess I don't know what "correct" Irish dancing is.

• I would stay away from them. Making children cry and then pub locally arguing with their mothers and refusing to apologise. Go elsewhere. (NT) -- Parent, 22:31:46 07/03/14 Thu

• Really the choice is down to a. do you want to dance for fun - there are a number of Non Competitive schools around or b do you maybe think you would like to do competitive team or Solo dancing - then I would suggest a registered CLRG Teacher -- Sean Hallissey (TCRG), 22:23:43 07/14/14 Mon
