Subject: Resource for NE Irish dancers!
Author: CCE [ Edit | View ]	Date Posted: 15:26:08 04/22/14 Tue I'm the current Youth Outreach Officer for the Northeastern US branch of Comhaltas Ceoltoiri Éireann (an international organization devoted to sharing Irish music, dance, and culture). I'm also a dancer with UConn's Irish dance team! In these 2 roles, I've noticed that there is no central list of universities offering Irish cultural/music/dance activities, and information is often difficult to find online. I decided to create a listing of programs, clubs, teams, etc. available through universities for the northeastern US (CT, ME, MA, NH, NY, RI, VT). This will hopefully eventually be a comprehensive resource for dancers (and anyone interested in the Irish culture) to see what their colleges/universities have to offer! Programs listed include: Irish literature programs Irish studies programs Irish language programs Irish music clubs/student organizations Irish dance clubs/teams/student organizations Irish cultural clubs/student organizations GAA Collegiate teams/clubs This list does not include Irish study abroad/student exchange programs. Check it out if you'd like, and I hope you find it useful! If you notice a program, club, or organization missing from this list, you can email rose.murphy.cce at gmail.com.

What does 2yr mean? (NT) -- ., 08:40:06 04/22/14 Tue Means a competition covers a 2-year age span, i.e. the trad sets at Lynn are U9, U11, U13, U15 and 15+. They are a special and are not required to be split. (NT) -- hth, 09:18:04 04/22/14 Tue maybe not required to split per age level, but c'mon....why combine to 2yr with this many registered and possibly more to come. not a fan of combining ages unless out of necessity.. (NT) -- such as groups too small.....my 2 cents, 09:47:26 04/22/14 Tue Oh... Ok. Thought it was a typo. (NT) -- Thx., 11:10:55 04/22/14 Tue I agree. What is the purpose and/or benefit of combining two years for the traditional set? (NT) -- curious newbie, 13:33:18 04/22/14 Tue Wow, my dd comp has near 60 registered and just realized its open to champs as well. Wouldnt have registered for trad set if we had known comps this large AND open to champs (NT) -- my little novice will dance with champs this time, I guess, 09:58:21 04/22/14 Tue Always read the syllabus carefully....we never sign up for combined age groups (NT) -- personal choice, 14:58:44 04/22/14 Tue It doesn't mean she won't do well.

(NT) -- hth, 16:47:06 04/22/14 Tue according to feisweb they did it by 2yr last year as well and it was not split. U11 had 46 competitors. (NT) -- why not at least separate by year....just a thought, 17:10:18 04/22/14 Tue They will most likely be split but may not be by age. We will split into A, B, etc once entries close. (NT) -- Feis Chair, 04:23:09 04/23/14 Wed This might be a silly question, but why is the traditional set open to champs? I thought it was typically for AB thru PW..... (NT) -- i mean no offense, but doesnt really seem fair? jmo, 08:26:15 04/23/14 Wed Traditional set is a "tradition" in dancing, and yes open champs should know those as well. They shouldn't be excluded from it. But with that said, we prefer when they have set comps for PW and under. And a separate set comp for prelim/open. Its not fair to lump grades with champs, even for set comps. lots of feis separate them out that way. (NT) -- mom, 07:28:20 04/24/14 Thu I completely agree. That's not to say a novice or PW can't hold their own but my novice dd can be intimidated when grades compete with champs. She is still building her confidence and this tends to shake it. no one should be excluded but much prefer (NT) -- separate comps for grades and champs, 08:02:22 04/24/14 Thu I am curious about some of the questions posed on this thread myself.

Subject: Unbiased Judges? How is it possible for a dancer to get 100s from all but two judges and those two give 60s and 40s? When marks like that happened in the Olympics didn't they have to change the way things are done?

Ah, but this is not the Olympics. And it seems CLRG has little interest in the quality of the event, from facilities to fairness. When comp groups approach 200 and the judging system allows points for only 50, when judges are not accountable for very contrary to all others scoring under the excuse of subjectivity, when ADs & TCs form Survivor-like alliances... All of the podium dancers are certainly great dancers. But none became Big Names without a little help from their friends. (NT) -- ., 08:18:42 04/21/14 Mon Agreed, leaves little hope for great dancers (NT) -- with no connections, 12:29:23 04/21/14 Mon In the big picture I would rather have my daughter climb to her achievements then to have teacher or show use publicity for their achievements. We owe no one and karma eventually take over. -- More inside, 19:11:28 04/21/14 Mon Here we go again -- Sheila, 08:11:15 04/22/14 Tue actually, a 60 and a high 40's score is not really that big a difference in placement - the Irish point spread is big, but the placement seems reasonable when allowing for different perspectives and preferences. (NT) -- my two pence, 08:21:52 04/22/14 Tue Yes, 60 is 4th place and all possible 40's marks are 8th - 11th place. A little lower than 1st place, but not out of the range, and certainly nothing unusual. (NT) -- .., 09:12:30 04/22/14 Tue The problem is when all judges gives 0s and one judge gives a 60 or higher! Lets them get that girl into the recall over other dancers that scored better with more judges. (NT) -- unfair and yes politics, 07:32:29 04/24/14 Thu

yes, if technique is good. My dd took 1st in novice with fast then moved on to slow (NT) -- good luck, 07:42:35 04/21/14 Mon oops sorry not sure it wold be possible in prizewinner, I think judges are expecting more but maybe if the dancer is young it would work (NT) -- good luck, 07:43:53 04/21/14 Mon I think it would be very unusual. My dd was still doing fast hornpipe at the beginning of PW and once asked a stage monitor if she could have fast HP music. She got blasted by the judge who told her in no uncertain terms that no PW should be doing fast HP. I know it is allowed but I don't think judges look favorably upon it in PW. (NT) -- old mom, 07:49:17 04/21/14 Mon I often see PW dancers who are working on slow, compete with fast until it's ready. some have gotten first. (NT) -- :-), 08:35:30 04/21/14 Mon I think in my opinion the judge would like to see you go into championship level with slow hornpipe not fast, if your young probably they would but older groups should have slow hornpipe (NT) -- Insidescoop (uncertain), 08:51:29 04/21/14 Mon My daughter won her first PW hornpipe competition doing the fast hornpipe. (NT) -- Good luck!, 09:39:24 04/21/14 Mon Probably did, but a disservice to the dancer if they go into prelim without fine tuning a slow hornpipe; fast hornpipe not allowed in prelim. (NT) -- jmo, 12:43:24 04/21/14 Mon It was not a disservice at all, as she did treble jig for the next 18 months... she was only 8 at the time. (NT) -- : ), 14:37:36 04/21/14 Mon Saw many, many pw firsts in fast speeds a few years back in New England -- Now more regions offer it, but as out of region, rarely saw it but in ne, 16:51:05 04/21/14 Mon My DD won 1sts with fast HP more often than not.

(NT) -- Unbelievable, 15:15:47 04/19/14 Sat 3 judges from the same region judging a dancer they see all the time is not good either. The UK board says there were issues in every age group BUT u14 and u18 had the most noticeable judging issues. They need to have rotating panels, and mandate that no 2 judges from the same region are on 1 panel. If you have 2 US judges and 1 is from WR and 1 from NER that is fine because chances are they dont see one another's dancers all the time -- ..., 16:30:15 04/19/14 Sat There were 3 judges from the same region at our O's and it was quite apparent who they helped and who they hurt (NT) -- SMH, 20:18:37 04/19/14 Sat regulation needed -- jake, 21:48:47 04/19/14 Sat It would appear that the NE Region did not fare too well overall at Worlds. (NT) -- No?, 06:08:22 04/20/14 Sun What awful mis-step did Charles Moore see in Paige and Melissa's dancing that justified those ridiculously low scores? -- Agreed., 07:46:39 04/20/14 Sun In U15 the judges stayed the same for both dances? Is this common at worlds, we are just asking because it was our first one. I do like it when at the regionals and nationals those judges are rotated. I think they also stayed the same for the sets too! That doesn't sit well with this and other moms we spoke to (NT) -- Concerned for the objectivity of this sport, 09:47:21 04/22/14 Tue

Subject: We were wondering why the prelim dancers have to line up next to the stage to wait to dance (sometimes for a really long time). The opens don't do that, do they? It seems like they know where they are in the rotation and go up just before it's their turn to dance. Do prelims have to stand there, or do they just not know any different because it's what they did in PW?

When my DD was in prelim and had a later rotation #, she didn't line up until it was almost time to dance. (NT) -- ;), 06:39:13 04/14/14 Mon You don't have to stand there. You just have to not miss your rotation so if you can keep an eye on it from a distance (and remember that the one before you may also not be in line), then you can do your own thing.

Subject: I was just reading the (old) Sheehan Gormley syllabus, and under open it says "Dancers must qualify for open championship via the method now in place for preliminary championship, i.e. three 1st place wins."

Author: FeisPix [ Edit | View ]

Date Posted: 01:51:18 04/11/14 Fri Here at FeisPix the excitement is mounting as the start date approaches. For months now we have been planning and designing some innovative photo ideas. For example there will be strut mounts, embossed with a London skyline motif. This will make a cherished memento of the World Championships 2014. You can choose to have your photo printed on a border collage of iconic London scenes. Ceili teams might wish to have a group photo on a clock face, making a wonderful gift for ‘you know who’. Visit our website to see samples of our ideas. But don’t forget to drop by and see our display at our studio stall on the ground floor foyer of the West Wing entrance. Soon after each age group has danced we will display proofs of all the action at our stall. But remember you can also see all the action and award pics on our website as early as humanly possible after the event. We send our best wishes to all competitors. Enjoy the championships. Enjoy London and England. [ Post a Reply to This Message ]

Horgan -- Mom, 10:22:37 04/10/14 Thu You could go and take your chances, but to what end? We love the old fashioned feel of Horgan feiseanna and do at least one a year, but we have never been early and often very very late. Why put that pressure on your day, especially if you can't even stay for awards? And winners aren't posted anywhere - you may never even find out how she does! (NT) -- I'd stay home., 10:51:39 04/10/14 Thu Horgan feis is notorious for running late. They never give # of competitors so you can figure out the time easier. It looks like they have only allotted 30 minutes for some OC comps. In the past, they have run 2-3 hours behind. It also looks like they will be doing awards in auditorium...if that is where champs dance, then this will further delay all the comps. (NT) -- jmho, 11:18:05 04/10/14 Thu Also, the contemporary set comp has only 30 minutes total allotted for both age groups.

Looks like one stage on the schedule, since the comps are listed in one column.Hopefully they can move comps after the grades finish. (NT) -- sigh..., 15:40:32 04/10/14 Thu They won't move comps because they won't have the judges. Love it or loathe, it is what it is. Best be prepared to be late you won't be angry. The best part is awards for grades, imho. They are done like champs and much more fun. Not a lot of opens attend though, just lots of folks who are trying to move up!

Yes-Always safer to assume the the Host school has the most up to date information. Feisomatic, Gilleoghan, Feis411 and other websites get their information from northamericanfeiscommission.org when the information is posted. Sometimes due to conflicts, a feis has to relocate.

Never mind....it was really easy to look up and found it: From CLRGCostume Rules (4.4 in CLRG Rule Book) 4.4.9.

Great Feis! Knowing we were last comp of day in Aux gym made me groan, but it actually started a bit earlier than I had estimated and judges only took a very quick break beforehand. Results were quick! Friend dances in Prelim U16 and I was surprised to see them 3 at a time in heavy shoe, but stage was large enough, so that was fine in the end. Great job Lenihan! (NT) -- NE mom, 16:25:58 04/06/14 Sun Good size groups and competition, AND, with a week to go to Worlds, LOTs of comments from all three judges, LOTS.

Subject: Rule of thumb to estimate time a competition starts?
Author: Allison [ Edit | View ]	Date Posted: 10:32:54 04/03/14 Thu Hi. Someone gave me a rule of thumb to estimate how long a competition will take -- for example, for gray feis which says when dancing will start (8.30) and you are supposed to figure out on your own when to get there for the fourth or fifth competition after that. Someone said 1 minute x each dancer in the prior competitions x each dance, or something like that...that's a lot of work to do to read the entry list, etc. but if I have to do it I want to do it right!

Silly question... -- Confused mom, 20:27:04 04/01/14 Tue the open competition would consist of three rounds, light shoe, hard shoe and set - when you hit the enter the feis button, there is a pull down menu where you choose the dances.. (NT) -- NE mom, 06:19:23 04/02/14 Wed the other thing is that if you are new to Open, or new to FeisWeb, the dancer's information has to be updated to reflect that they are actually in Open Championships, then when you enter a feis, the appropriate dance choices for your dance level will be available to you to choose from...hope that helps. (NT) -- NE Mom, 06:23:52 04/02/14 Wed The first ones listed are trad sets because younger dancers do a trad set for their set dance; scroll down and you will see the rest of the selection to choose from (NT) -- hth, 07:33:43 04/02/14 Wed

Author: Feis Committee [ Edit | View ]	Date Posted: 12:50:51 04/01/14 Tue Just a few things I forgot to mention- Champions up to and including age 14 will dance 3 at a time in the hard shoe round. The grades will be left up to the judges. If they think the stages are large enough, they will dance 3 at a time. We may possibly move competitions later in the day if stages become available and we tend to run very quickly, so please arrive a bit earlier than you may think you need to.

Author: Feis Committee [ Edit | View ]	Date Posted: 09:48:55 04/01/14 Tue Some notes about the Feis- competitor numbers will all be emailed, unless you owe a balance. If you owe, you can pay at the entry desk and pick up your number there. We will not be posting a competitor list. Notes about the schedule- competitions with a / between them (for example, 424/444) are combined. "Run concurrently" means we will run the hard shoe rounds of both competitions, then the soft shoe rounds. Those are still separate competitions. Looking forward to a great feis Sunday!

Author: fAB committee [ Edit | View ]

Date Posted: 07:53:04 04/01/14 Tue Due to some late changes in registrations and a resulting increase in numbers, a few of the merged novice competitions have been "un-merged." They will be run concurrently but judged separately from the competition with which they were previously merged. Times (& stages) do not change. Here is the most recent version of the schedule reflecting this small change: http://cumminsschool.weebly.com/uploads/2/6/8/8/26884839/2014fabstagescheduleupdate2.pdf Check out our website at cumminsschool.weebly.com for more information about the feis.

I think this is why from time to time there is outrage, the customers (i.e. parents and dancers) feel ripped off by a perception of poor judging. Honestly, this is why people were unhappy with the failure of this feis to post an adjudicator list, people do not want to spend their hard earned money when they know in advance how it will shake out. (NT) -- My two cents, 07:34:42 03/31/14 Mon ditto (NT) -- ., 08:58:49 03/31/14 Mon Amen Sister!! Why so secretive? (NT) -- dd, 15:18:51 03/31/14 Mon Agreed! Sometimes you get the marks and 1or2 judges write nothing. frustrating for the dancer because as much as this is the job of the teacher to correct a dancers faults, a feis offers the opportunity for fresh eyes to look at your dancer and it helps to take feedback to their teacher. Sometimes the judge sees something different. Yes, These judges should have to be re-certified. I think that is only fair. Also, switch them up please, give us some variety instead of the same lineup (NT) -- Judges, dancers give you a job so do it!, 19:41:28 04/05/14 Sat Listing Judges -- DD mom, 08:21:52 04/23/14 Wed
