In reply to: sad for them if so 's message, "I read below about the very sad closing of the Kenny Academy. Is it true that those dancers will all have to serve the 6 month ban? That is my understanding of the new rules, but it seems so unfair. Is it true?" on 08:48:37 08/24/22 Wed

I’m assuming because they don’t need to restyle but not sure of the details.

[> [> Subject: Well if they have no ban then nobody who was a Kenny dancer at the time of their abrupt closure should have to serve a ban at any school.

[> [> [> Subject: He must have been registered with CLRG as a Kenny teacher before they closed. If he taught under them after he got his TC this is likely, and since he also trained under the Kenneys and was most likely teaching alongside them, it makes sense that there is no restyling period for his dancers, but those who transferred elsewhere will need restyling.

[> [> Subject: The rule, as stated on CLRG page is: Where two or more registered teachers are teaching a joint school, and one or more of them decides to leave the class and terminate the relationship, ONLY those pupils of the school who remain with any of the registered teachers previously in that joint school need not undergo the 6 month restyling period." Since Billy was TC w Kenny prior to dissolution, any dancers he teaches serve no ban

[> [> [> Subject: Yes, but was he a registered TC? Not clear. AND, was this conveyed to dancers who, in a state of shock, had to decide what they were going to do? Were they given full information?

[> [> [> [> [> [> Subject: Yes, Petrocelli will have an association with the Kenny’s for two years and cannot be judged by them. Those that transferred to another school will have no association after their ban is over and can be judged by the Kennys

[> [> [> [> [> [> [> [> Subject: Wrong. Kenny’s can’t judge any of their former students for two years. If their ex students sign up for any Feis it’s the Kenny’s who have to step down from the event or the group. 2 years.

[> [> [> [> [> Subject: Yes, actually parents did reach out for more information, but it wasn’t possible to get clear answers until the CLRG made its decisions. Parents really did their best to make the best choices they could with limited information. I’d like to think that most of us can be understanding. And now we really have to move forward. I wish someone hadn’t started this up again, but I had to respond.

[> [> [> Subject: Interesting that this rule would apply here since this is a whole different school than the Kenny Academy. I'm happy for the dancers but I think it should also apply to the ones who left when the Kennys shut down their school. I hate to see anyone serve a ban for something the Kennys did, not the kids.

[> [> [> [> Subject: You need to read the rule more carefully. The rule applies to a TEACHER, not a school. Petrocelli dancers stayed with a former TEACHER at the Kenny Academy, so no ban. Not staying with a former teacher is a choice the dancers that transferred made, so just like anyone who chooses to transfer at any time they serve a ban. CLRG is being understanding of the situation and allowing the Oireachtas exemption for these dancers.

[> [> [> [> [> Subject: When the school closed, families didn’t have any idea what what was going to happen next. Everything happened very fast. It’s not as if we were presented clear choices at the time. Some of the posts about this situation have been overly harsh. We all did our best with what we knew and didn’t know in the midst of a difficult situation.
