- Hi neighbor! We are local too. I have asked a couple of times in the past and the answer then was "no" - the evening/night activities are such an important part of the bonding and experience and they weren't structured for day campers. Sent her anyway and she had a blast and was perfectly comfortable (me, not so much!) But I was worried for nothing. (NT) -- Worry wart Mom., 03:23:56 11/03/09 Tue

  - Tanning -- mom, 13:22:26 10/30/09 Fri
  - What is bogus is trying to push your own opinions on everyone else-don't want to tan? Don't do it. Most of us prefer the tanned look & are thrilled with this new service, much easier than doing it at home or going to a salon early in the week & hoping it lasts. Very happy w/this idea (NT) -- I agree w/mom-go away, 14:26:16 10/30/09 Fri
  - The company would not exist without a demand for it. Good for them for providing the service...wish I thought of it! (NT) -- supply and demand, plain and simple, 18:14:11 10/30/09 Fri

    - feis tan is so riciculous it takes away from the beauty of what irish dancing is all about -- hi, 06:36:59 11/01/09 Sun
      - Who cares if she is or not? We're not talking about her, we're talking about kids who want to be tanned for the O & feel they look better that way. Why do i get the feeling thta it's not the tan u object to at all? (NT) -- MYOB, 12:38:00 11/01/09 Sun
      - it is so sad that kids need to have a tan to feel good about themselves ...it's about the DANCING not the tan absolutely ridiculous -- wth, 16:07:57 11/01/09 Sun
        
        What's ridiculous is how you seem to be so upset over other people's choice to tan. No kid is relying on the tan to "feel good about themselves", they just LIKE the way it looks and are entitled to do it if they want. Tanning (or not tanning) takes NOTHING away from the beauty of ID. (NT) -- ppl like you, on the other hand...., 09:40:27 11/02/09 Mon
- I so agree. But if people will pay for it, I don't fault the vendor for providing the service. (NT) -- Capitalist mama, 12:38:15 10/30/09 Fri
- Feistan is a fantastic service that we use whenever we can. -- Thank you for the service!, 14:43:08 10/30/09 Fri
  - DD used feistan at MARO last year, Worlds and NANs. It is THE most convenient way to tan. If you don't like it , don't tan- but leave your ridiculous comments to yourself. (NT) -- didn't ask for your opinion, 16:53:00 10/30/09 Fri
  - Speak for yourself, ,many of us really like the way tanning makes us look on stage; lots of us have also spray-tanned for vacations, prom, parties,etc. Looks great & way safer than frying in the sun (NT) -- we love it, 12:40:23 11/01/09 Sun

Beautiful royal purple Michelle Lewis dress for sale - would fit 11 - 13 year old -- Purple Dress, 17:33:15 10/31/09 Sat
Beautiful Michelle Lewis dress, about one year old. It is a deep purple velvet with ivory bubble under the panel shirt. Lots of Swarovski crystals add great sparkle on stage. Shawl is soft, made of the same lace seen on collar and sleeves. Underskirt is a funky multicolored flower print! Comes with crown and bloomers. Great condition - there is wear on the bubble where it rubs against the panels, but it is not at all visible from stage.

Measurements: Length 31 - 32", Bodice 17", Skirt 14 - 15", Sleeve 23", Waist 26", Chest 30". Measurements are approximate, but should be really close.

More photos available on request. Asking $1200, shipping from Boston included.

YES we will post a schedule and YES it is a bit later than last year - busy week.
YES championship comps are large, the schedule will include the number of dancers for each.
NO we do not publish a competitor list, a matter of privacy for the dancers. A complete competitor list will be available at the Feis.
NO the schedule will not be the same as last year.
NO checks are not cashed until after the feis.
YES all entries that were not accepted have been contacted by phone.
YES we do answer e-mail. As the keeper of the mail box, I apologize but I've been out of town on business. I will catch up tonight, I promise.

Also, a number of people included the $10 admission fee with their entries. We don't take advance enties. For those who included it, you will be asked to pay at the door and your advance payment will be refunded to you at the entry desk when you pick up your competitor cards.

Help with pain in both ankles. -- Mom, 20:13:02 10/29/09 Thu
My soon to be 12 year old has been complaining of pain in both ankles when dancing. ( Most likely due to increased practice for Os). The pain is not severs and appears all over - not localized at back ( ie achilles, heel). I'm thinking it may be "growing pains" but was looking for input from anyone else who may have gone through this. Thanks !

Has your child's TC ever made them cry? -- DAD, 09:00:35 10/26/09 Mon
I was at a feis yesterday and saw a TC scolding a dancer and she started to cry. Shortly after my DD's comp started and anything you could imagine that could go wrong did.She bumped, she slipped, you get the picture. It got to the point that we just had to laugh. At the end of the day she checked in with her TC and told her about the horrible way she had danced. By the end of the call TC made her feel like a million bucks. I don't care if your an open champion or a beginner, every body is going to have a bad day. Do TC's that make their kids cry think they are doing them any good? Just wondering how other TC's handle not so pretty moments?

- Not intentionally. But she has through neglect and dis-interest - only paying attention to her pets, not watching others, etc. I'd almost prefer some attention, even if it's not always positive. (NT) -- Different perspective...., 09:08:13 10/26/09 Mon

- Without knowing the exact situation, you can't make a snap judgement on this.

- I am a TC, and to be honest, in my 20+ years of teaching, I have cried WITH kids, cried FOR kids, and in some instance said things that led to a child crying - more often than not, simply because of the child's own issues and not because of what or how I said it - (see inside) -- SO many factors involved!, 10:22:19 10/26/09 Mon

- TC has not made dancer cry, however, close to O's seems to lose control and has yelled SHUT UP repeatedly at kids even when the dancer only spoke 1 word to answer another child's question. BTW- incapable of admitting a mistake. If TC were in a middle or high school, TC wouldn't have a job. (NT) -- Even TCs need to check their behavior, 13:41:46 10/26/09 Mon
  - That would not be acceptable to me. I do not say "shut up" to my children and have taught them that it is one of the rudest things a person can say. I would never tolerate that TC's behavior. (NT) -- mom, 14:14:09 10/26/09 Mon
    - Shut up may not be very polite, but it's far from the "one of the rudest things a person can say". I can think of LOTS more; it also depends on the tone of voice & context used. (NT) -- mom2, 10:59:02 10/29/09 Thu
- We have a teen dancer in our school who will not practice and then when she doesn't place she complains to everyone at a feis that the judging was not fair. When she says this to the TC, she is gently but firmly reminded of her refusal to practice and it's predicable outcome. And then she cries. But she still won't practice. (NT) -- another mom, 14:18:50 10/26/09 Mon
- Yup. Too often and it's sad. Has made parents cry too. (NT) -- No name, 17:00:03 10/26/09 Mon
- As stated so eloquently above by the TC there are lots of factors to consider. Having said that, a crowded public place is not the proper place to scold a dancer. If it was so impt. to admonish the dancer immediately, they should have stepped outside of the venue. (NT) -- time and place, 17:48:17 10/26/09 Mon
  - TC laid into teenage dd, made her sob and she is not a cryer. Belittled and demeaned her. We left for new equally successful school where TC rarely even has to raise her voice. (NT) -- ., 18:44:27 10/26/09 Mon

  - maybe the TC said "you were off time in a certain point" or something else that the dcr chronically has a problem with? Lots of time when YOU think someone danced beautifully, you miss a lot of mistakes if you don't know the choreography or the technical details. What would you prefer?(more) -- don't judge if u don't know, 11:07:39 10/27/09 Tue
    - That statement wouldn't bring out waterworks in my child. Most likely she would reply, "I know." That's not what we're talking about here, I don't think. (NT) -- ., 11:14:01 10/27/09 Tue
      - That's your child. We had a top dancer in our school who would burst into tears if anyone, TC or mom, pointed out any flaw in her performance. Also, some kids are just so wound up after the performance that saying hello will bring on a melt down. And, we have no idea "what we're talking about here", no one, even the OP does, (NT) -- except that TC & dcr, 08:33:48 10/28/09 Wed
- Seen TCs that make their dancers cry, but also lots of TCs that support their dancers no matter what. At Worlds, I saw a dancer crying from disappointment when she didnt get a recall, but the TC pulled her aside and said that she did her best and that she should be proud of even making it to Worlds and that he was proud of her regardless of lack fo recall.

Any Syracuse-area college students want to dance?! -- SJ Velasquez, 18:20:33 10/28/09 Wed
A group of undergraduate and graduate students at Syracuse University is looking to start a Cosa Meara troupe at Syracuse University. Are you interested? Know of any Central New York dancers who want to brush off their dancing shoes and have some fun?

Cosa Meara is a collegiate network of Irish dance groups. Check out some of the already-established Cosa Meara groups throughout the USA at http://www.cosameara.com/

Please contact me if you have questions. We're just in the planning stages now, but we have a solid group of dancers already interested. If you attend a Central New York college other than Syracuse University, contact me as well. If possible, we'll branch out to incorporate other local colleges. Dancers of all levels are encouraged to join.

Hope to hear from you!
SJV
