• I have been reading on the international boards about poaching. What does everyone think about this when one school takes top dancers?? -- Lots of debate in ireland, 12:49:55 08/13/09 Thu [10]

  • Its just stirring. Schools/Teachers don't "take" top dancers, the dancer & family decide to transfer. Everyone has free will. (NT) -- Did it & happy :), 13:49:32 08/13/09 Thu
  • Some do make their own decisions but I think It does happen here- going from what i have observed (NT) -- at competitons, 19:20:47 08/13/09 Thu
    • Seriously? Poaching suggest people don't have minds of their own to make their own decisions about what school to attend. We are not a mindless lot. (NT) -- ***, 20:25:31 08/13/09 Thu
  • Some teachers are choosy about who they would take. (NT) -- IMO, 20:32:52 08/13/09 Thu

      • I disagree. I think they have to do whats best for IRISH DANCING as a whole. Especially if we want it to grow back to the way it was in the late 90s and early 2000s with high numbers and happy dancers :-) (NT) -- kitty, 15:29:53 08/14/09 Fri

• A message of "Thanks" -- The Reid Family, 22:50:24 08/09/09 Sun [2]
  Warren, Brodie, Jesse, Kelly and Imogen would like to express their sincere thanks for the amazing support shown to them and their extended families in the sad, sudden, and unexpected death of Karen. Karen was firstly and above all else a deeply loved and respected wife and soul mate, and an adored, cherished, inspirational and supportive mother. As a daughter, sister, sister in law and aunty she was special and there is no-one else like her and the depth of her friendship was bottomless.
  
  
  It is a measure of the person Karen was and the huge impact and lasting memories she has given so many other people, that has taken us by surprise and we thank you all for sharing these moments and thoughts with us.
  
  
  As a family we initially had every intention of acknowledging you all individually but the amount of support we have had, and continue to receive makes this an impossible task. We have been blown away by the visits, hugs, phone calls, texts, flowers, attendance at Karen's funeral, food and so, so much more.
  
  Very special thanks to the NZ Irish Dancing community.
  
  Please accept this as a personal and sincere acknowledgement.

  Replies:

  • Yeah it would be cool to have more choreography! The aussie one is always really cool, or even just one step everyone does together like at NANs. But at the same time, it will take some time to organise that, especially for the wee kids to learn it, and we only have 2 days this year so I'm sure we'll be pushed for time already.. I'd also love another video, they're always so much fun to watch! (NT) -- getting closer.., 21:32:11 07/18/09 Sat

  • Actually what I would love to see is the slip jigs mixed in between the reels in the right ages in the parade of champs. obviously it would've been too hard to do last year but since we have a musician this nationals... would be really nice. i always think its spoils it a bit stopping the reel music and starting again. (NT) -- =), 04:05:31 08/03/09 Mon
  • After the parade of champions last year they left the stage straight away and there was no photo of all of the champions. Maybe this year after the parade, they can assemble on the stage for a photo session (NT) -- :-), 21:12:56 08/03/09 Mon
  • I don't know if they will have done the timetables yet but I thought it was great how last year everyone was all mixed up ageswise, and nobody did teams and solos on the same day. It would be great to have that again - little more variety to watch. (NT) -- Also, a video would be awesome!, 03:11:08 08/06/09 Thu

  • Not sure re opening times, but the floor will need to be laid etc, so likely to be before 8.30am.

  It is for a your girl to win a custom made Elevation dress .
  
  Her name is Molly and she is one of six children . Four of them dance and we all know how much that cost for just one.
  
  She is in such a very very tight race which ends tomorrow . If you would just take a second and go to the site and put a check mark beside her #4 and then go down to where it says vote under video 10 ..
  
  But also make sure to watch the video as it is very funny indeed .
  
  Ok here is the site .

  I thank you all very much and you will make this young girl very happy if she wins.
  
  If you would not mind to pass that on to every one on your mail list this will surely help Molly

Some probably are too short, but it's not a NZ problem, it's world wide and unless CLRG decide to enforce, it's not really an issue.

  I just wanted to say CONGRATULATIONS to everyone wo attended, danced and ran the competition on Saturday. I thought that everyone looked and danced lovely, i thought that all the dancers were really lovely to each other, loved the way that I saw older dancers helping younger ones. Loved the way it ran on time and the way everyone came back with something. I thought it was really well done and it was an awesome day.
  Well done to all the Auckland teahcers.
