- Something similar to this is being discussed on the Aussie board in regards to their numbers. With the Mc Aleer Feis and GC Feis gaining popularity dancers, parents and TC's must decide which Feis to attend as they are consecutive Feis'. Hard decision but something that was bound to happen. (NT) -- Loved the WS but am wanting to try Mc Aleer and GC too., 14:09:18 06/19/09 Fri

Question... -- dancer, 02:01:29 05/26/09 Tue [8]
i am working on a project on Irish Dancing. Part of it is about famous people that have done it and stuff i have found that 2 new zealand actors used to dance, Katrina Devine and Madeline Sami. Does anyone know when they danced, what school they danced for and whether they were good or not? I want to write about a paragraph about it. Also, what other famous nz dancers have there been? I know about Aislinn Ryan, anyone else worth writing about?
