Anoyone in the know? (NT) -- -, 11:50:04 10/05/13 Sat
Just curious but why would they waive their fee? (NT) -- I don't understand, 15:29:10 10/05/13 Sat

To encourage people to sign up if feis is not near max. (NT) -- Former feis chair, 15:21:32 10/06/13 Sun

No they wont. They also do not let you in past their close date. They hold firm (NT) -- mom of 3 dancers, 19:39:25 10/06/13 Sun

As well they should. There is plenty of time to sign up for these things. If someone doesn't sign up by the deadline for on-time registrants, it's fair to charge them a late fee. And it's more than fair to hold to the printed registration deadline if a feis committee chooses to do so. (NT) -- imho, 06:03:39 10/07/13 Mon

You're right ,because no ones plans ever change. Narrow minded people are so drole. (NT) -- -, 07:05:00 10/07/13 Mon

Obviously people's plans change, but that's not the feis committee's responsibility. If they set a deadline they are will within their rights to adhere to it. Late registrations create a burden for already overworked feis organizers. (NT) -- btdt, have the t-shirt, 08:53:08 10/07/13 Mon

But if a feis needs to make money and has not met capacity they will often extend registration or waive the late fee. What is the harm in asking? BTW not the OP or related to the OP, but have seen several recent feisianna waive late fees or open up again for registration. (NT) -- mtltid, 21:40:29 10/07/13 Mon

Anyone know how to reach the vendor Head of the World? I paid and ordered a wig to be shipped to me at the Autumn Feis in Pembroke and have not received the wig nor have I been able to contact them. They assured me that it was going to be mailed out the next day!I have emailed them twice at the email listed on the website. There is no phone number listed. My dancer is very worried.
Thanks!

I'm surprised it wasn't rejected by the bank. Many banks refuse checks that are more than 180 days old. (NT) -- surprised, 12:27:35 10/01/13 Tue
I know! I wondered about that too. But there it is, cancelled and big as life. (NT) -- mom, 12:43:04 10/01/13 Tue
Are they still withholding your marks too? (NT) -- lol, 12:55:03 10/01/13 Tue

Hilarious! :-) (NT) -- :-), 06:38:24 10/02/13 Wed

That happened to me once...although it was like 6-9 months later! I bounced a check because of it. (don't judge me...my girls do ID - 😄) (NT) -- Was not happy., 06:47:29 10/02/13 Wed

Not judging, but wondering why you would have bounced a check because of it. As soon as I write a check I deduct that amount from my register and wouldn't write another assuming that amount was still available, even months later. (NT) -- -, 07:22:03 10/02/13 Wed

Oh my goodness if everyone kept good records like this, nobody would bounce checks. But people do, all the time! This is like saying: "How could you get a speeding ticket? I always observe the speed limit." #$%#$^ happens (NT) -- mom, 07:32:24 10/02/13 Wed

I'll take good record keeping over throwing money away on bounced check fees any day. (NT) -- -, 08:05:43 10/02/13 Wed

OK, church lady, you rock. (NT) -- Doin' superior dance, 08:16:36 10/02/13 Wed

I hardly see what this has to do with "church" and I take offence to you calling them a "church lady". I go to church, and I bounce checks because I don't always remember to write stuff down in the checkbook. (NT) -- :-), 10:30:22 10/03/13 Thu

It's a Saturday Live Live reference to the "Church Lady" character. Probably dates me!! No offense towards church goes intended. I'm one of 'em. (NT) -- mom, 18:47:24 10/03/13 Thu

goers I meant! I also meant we all bounce checks or something similar and don't be above it all. I'm with you on this one! (NT) -- mom, 18:49:08 10/03/13 Thu
I got your SNL Church Lady reference right away. You weren't the least bit offensive. Sometimes I think people just look for ways to take offense. (NT) -- smh, 07:42:04 10/04/13 Fri

Well, because I never balance my checkbook. I just check my balance online all the time. When this happened, I had forgotten about the feis and never realized I had an unwashed check outstanding. I live paycheck to paycheck and check got cashed day before pay day. I was off by $3.00. (NT) -- I was so bummed. I got over it tho., 20:51:02 10/03/13 Thu

Uncashed....not unwashed. (NT) -- ., 20:52:58 10/03/13 Thu

If a chech hasn't been cashed after 6 months it is void, so I may add that money back into my account. The bank should have never cashed that check (NT) -- ., 06:14:46 10/04/13 Fri

Sorry check. And you can go to your bank and they may wave the bounce fee (NT) -- ., 06:16:39 10/04/13 Fri
That varies from state to state. It appears that it's really up to the bank's discretion. As a precaution, I'd advise not spending the same money twice without first contacting the person/business that hasn't cashed your check and asking if they intend to do so. (NT) -- -, 14:20:14 10/04/13 Fri

Looking for some advise.....Gone back to dancing after several years & found myself nursing an old ankle/foot injury. Visited the local pharmacy but was unimpressed with their variety of supports. Also soaked in Epson salts & worked on stretching the affected area.
What is the best ankle support to use without it being too restrictive?

Athletic tape -- mom, 17:52:14 09/25/13 Wed
If your insurance allows, visit a physical therapist to learn the proper techniques for using kinesio tape. It made all the difference for my dd. Also for a better selection of ankle braces, check out a surgical supply place. (NT) -- that's what we did, 17:57:19 09/25/13 Wed
seek out a qualified athletic trainer (NT) -- a good tape job will work, 04:19:53 09/26/13 Thu
Take a look at kinesio taping techniques.This provides support without being too restrictive. That may be enough for you. (NT) -- Lots of videos on YouTube, 04:43:24 09/26/13 Thu

There are several options.. vodka .. pet enzyme destroyers.. You can dampen a cloth and gently apply to the lining.. don't soak the dress. Or you can put in a mist bottle and lightly spray the inside. (NT) -- hth, 05:24:39 09/25/13 Wed
I found Nature's Miracle worked best. You can buy it wherever you can buy pet supplies. It's made to get pet urine out of carpet and upholstery. Lay the dress face-down on a table covered with clean towels. Spray Nature's Miracle on a handful of paper towels til they are wet but not dripping and place them inside the underarm areas. Prop the dress open with clean popsicle sticks or similar and let dry overnight. If it still smells the next day, (more inside) -- been there, done that, 05:35:46 09/25/13 Wed
turn the dress inside out, use the pet odur spray--Nature's Miracle, out and spray the lining, pay careful attention to the seems . Hang inside out on hanger , outdoors. allow to dry completely--then repeat. Do not use Citrus Magic-it has a funny after ordour. A brezzy day for drying is your best ally (NT) -- Natures Miracle, 06:21:27 09/25/13 Wed
Thanks for all the responses/help! I'm going to try the Nature's Miracle and then enforce some preventative measures once the smell is gone! We've tried dress shields, but they seem to keep slipping. (NT) -- BO Free Soon! : ), 07:02:19 09/25/13 Wed

OP, please disregard the suggestions to spray Nature's Miracle directly onto the dress. I did this once only and it caused a color run on the outside of the dress. Lucky for me it was small and in the underarm area but I'll never do it again. Always use the paper towel method; much safer and the b.o. transfers to the paper towels. (NT) -- wiser now, 07:33:51 09/25/13 Wed

stinky dress -- Karen Johnson, 17:34:07 09/25/13 Wed
I have found that white vinegar works best. Sprayed directly on the dress (but always color test first!!). Lots and lots of airing out! (NT) -- One who inherited a few!!, 21:51:17 09/25/13 Wed
Sometimes you are just putting liquids on top of liquids - nature's miracle on top of sweat - so yes, it does come out the other side. Dry-cleaning once a year helps--if its a dress that can be dry cleaned. We find preventative measures help the most - love "sweat shields" shirts - link inside -- Jen O., 06:34:39 09/26/13 Thu

The picture on their site makes the shirt look very long. Is it? Is it something that my DD can walk around the feis in? She wears a short sleeved exercise top right now, but we just got a new dress and want to be sure to keep it clean. New dress is satin, not velvet. (NT) -- DM, 06:41:12 09/28/13 Sat

What do you need to do when you want to move a to a new school. Can you sent an email or does it need to be a certified letter. If you went to class in August the six month starts in September? or is it when you notify the school? No registration was filed for the new year. Thanks for your help

Other than registering at the new school, you do not NEED to do anything. The paperwork is filed by the new TC, and the start date of your ban is determined as the previous poster mentioned. However, it is usually considered correct to notify your previous TC that you will not be returning, if the relationship has not been difficult.(more) -- BTDT, 05:33:46 09/26/13 Thu

The Feis will be held at Lewis Mills High School in Burlington, CT, a short drive for all dancers in the New York, MA and CT areas. Grab some apple cider doughnuts at Hogan's Cider Mill on your way and take some pictures of the gorgeous Fall foliage.

Conflict?

If he teaches and has dancers why would he be playing? Seems like a conflict as he is in this region and he is playing.

Has happened for years in NE. Not certain why you're questioning it now? (NT) -- ??, 17:07:44 09/23/13 Mon
Well because I didn't know it happened in the past thats why! Just because its happened in the past doesnt make it right. (NT) -- conflict, 17:41:50 09/23/13 Mon

I agree. I don't understand what there is to get upset about. (NT) -- A mom., 19:02:42 09/23/13 Mon

Also agree...he has played for my dd many times and done a lovely job. Don't see the problem!! He is way too professional to mess up your music! (NT) -- Nemom, 19:12:06 09/23/13 Mon

None of the musicians for 2013 have dancing schools in NE. As a side note, there is no rule against playing for your own students, so I am perplexed as to why you're so worried about this. As another poster mentioned, this musician (and many others) VERY professional and great music no matter who's on. (NT) -- TCRG, 19:38:48 09/23/13 Mon
First of all not worried so you can relax yourself . IF someone is a TCRG & ADCRG one would think they taught. HAd no idea he does not. Regardless of how talented he is Did not question his ability just with all the association issues at hand why wouldnt the region hire someone one from out of region as there are many talented musicians out there. I am entitled to my question like it or not -- reading more into a simple question, did not know he does not teach., 14:55:14 09/24/13 Tue

Musician -- another itk, 19:33:44 09/24/13 Tue
Well, I don't see an issue with asking the question. My next question, if this is someone who does not actually teach dancing -- hmmm, 21:52:32 09/24/13 Tue

I know there are others who no longer teach but do continue to judge. This is not unique to this individual. (NT) -- -, 05:16:49 09/25/13 Wed

(NT) -- btdt, have the t-shirt, 08:53:08 10/07/13 Mon But if a feis needs to make money and has not met capacity they will often extend registration or waive the late fee. What is the harm in asking?

(NT) -- mom, 18:49:08 10/03/13 Thu I got your SNL Church Lady reference right away. You weren't the least bit offensive. Sometimes I think people just look for ways to take offense. (NT) -- smh, 07:42:04 10/04/13 Fri Well, because I never balance my checkbook. I just check my balance online all the time. When this happened, I had forgotten about the feis and never realized I had an unwashed check outstanding. I live paycheck to paycheck and check got cashed day before pay day. I was off by $3.00. (NT) -- I was so bummed. I got over it tho., 20:51:02 10/03/13 Thu Uncashed....not unwashed. (NT) -- ., 20:52:58 10/03/13 Thu If a chech hasn't been cashed after 6 months it is void, so I may add that money back into my account. The bank should have never cashed that check (NT) -- ., 06:14:46 10/04/13 Fri Sorry check. And you can go to your bank and they may wave the bounce fee (NT) -- ., 06:16:39 10/04/13 Fri That varies from state to state. It appears that it's really up to the bank's discretion. As a precaution, I'd advise not spending the same money twice without first contacting the person/business that hasn't cashed your check and asking if they intend to do so.

On their syllabus it says... BEGINNER - Starting after lunch TBA on final schedule - so I would think you'd be fine with a morning soccer game if it's early and you still have time to commute to the feis and get your little one dressed and ready. (NT) -- dancemom, 05:48:13 10/02/13 Wed
