Now need to book hotel and find someone to cover my obligations at church. (NT) -- Thanks for posting schedule, 06:26:45 10/30/09 Fri Things happen (Life happens) You have to roll with it somtimes. (NT) -- Thank you for posting it here - Most appreciated., 06:42:58 10/30/09 Fri We really can't hint at something we haven't reviewed. We set the stage schedule based on teh size of the competitions, the mix of Prelim & Open and the availability of adj's and musicians. We get the schedule done as quickly as we can.

Honest to goodness, this is like cyber-bullying..... (NT) -- ., 10:14:53 10/30/09 Fri I disagree, I am very involved in volunteering at our school's feis and as long as the questions are intelligent, relevant and polite, we don't mind answering them.

Author:
Purple Dress
[Edit]

Date Posted: 18:31:21 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.

Subject: Does any one know if my DD started taking lessons in Sept. of 2008... then in Dec. 2009 is she still pre-beginner or beginner?
Author: Mom [Edit]	Date Posted: 20:46:14 10/29/09 Thu Form for Beginners read "Has not taken Irish Dance lessons with a registered teacher prior to 9/1 of the previous year." - So, prior to Sept. 2008 my daughter did not take lessons - does this mean she should be in Beginner now and not Pre-beginner?? She's never danced at this feis before. Just wondering - at this age don't think it's a big deal but just wondered if anyone can interpret this rule for me. Thanks. [ Post a Reply to This Message ]

Beginners actually have 16 mos to be in that level. Most classes start in Sept, they can stay there for full year through the next Septmeber and on until Jan of the new year. (NT) -- how we were taught, 21:04:08 10/29/09 Thu I agree. DD was never "pre-beginner". If your DD started in Sept. 2008, she dances beginner until Dec. 31, 2009. Starting Jan. 1, 2010, she'll be Advanced Beginner (NT) -- ..., 21:28:56 10/29/09 Thu At our school you don't change levels until the TC tells you; check with TC before moving up levels.

She's in u5 - we'll do pre-beg. and in Jan. start with beginner. (NT) -- Thanks - OP, 14:23:11 10/30/09 Fri Yes- a 4 year old who has taken 12 months of lessons is sometimes still not developed enough to dance one step, let alone two, so moving to adv. beginner would be crazy (NT) -- at that age (for some!), 11:07:23 10/31/09 Sat

size 1.5 (US 4.5-5)Hullachan Soft Shoes (if new - $100)

Author: Curious [Edit]	Date Posted: 16:54:12 10/27/09 Tue I see that many people selling dresses are now advertising that they have received comments from judges on how lovely their costumes are.

(NT) -- JMHO, 04:52:33 10/28/09 Wed Yes, have had comments that my DD dress was stunning, and she does place near the top most times (NT) -- Do think it is the whole package now a days., 05:09:06 10/28/09 Wed So essentially the consensus would be that a talented dancer in an "out of date/old style dress" won't be placing well in Prelim?

(NT) -- x, 07:38:16 10/29/09 Thu I'm sorry to see that dancers are indeed getting comments from judges on their dress. I think it's important to look clean and put together but to reward dancers -either in points or comments - on a high-end dress seems unfortunate. Most families cannot afford top-of-the-line dresses and dancers shoudln't be judged as if in a beauty pageant. (NT) -- very disheartening, 09:04:23 10/28/09 Wed and btw, this isn't sour grapes. Both my dds have lovely dresses and have been told so by plenty of others. Just would prefer that hard-working dancers don't get judged on dress. (NT) -- above poster, 09:07:33 10/28/09 Wed Dd feisses often in MAR, SR, some NE. Was in prelim, now Open. She sees a lot of the same adjudicators. As soon as she changes to a new dress, adjudicators frequently write "lovely dancer" or "great style", etc. This seems to come out as soon as she presents in her new look. (NT) -- cc, 11:15:27 10/28/09 Wed I'm pretty sure when they write, great style, it refers to the style of dancing, not whether or not the dress is current. (NT) -- IMHO, 12:28:24 10/28/09 Wed I agree that it should be about the dancing and not the dresses. I know it's not like that though so I tend to tell my daughter to try not to dance with someone with a "flashier" dress than she has on. (NT) -- Mom, 11:53:32 10/28/09 Wed I would love to see an AD called out for costme comments. After all the "officail" line is dresses don't matter. (NT) -- a dad, 11:57:12 10/28/09 Wed Dancer in dd's mid-teen Prelim group got 3 firsts this year wearing a 3 panel dress that is at least 5 years old. It's about the dancing (NT) -- not about the dress, 18:45:15 10/28/09 Wed Spend your time practicing instead of worrying about costumes. Back when I was in prelim a girl from our school grew out of her dress and she had to wear a very old outdated school costume that looked ridiculous on her. She was a very talented dancer and she got 1st anyways. Her out dated/tight/faded costume didn't matter... -- senior open dancer, 01:54:57 10/29/09 Thu Rediculous? I tend to think the only dancers who look rediculous are the ones whose bloomers are hanging out before they even start dancing. (NT) -- Not a fan of short skirts anywhere, 07:39:54 10/29/09 Thu some of those short skirts may be trying to save some money by wearing the dress a few more times before they buy another, or maybe it hasn't been worn in a few months and there was a growth spurt (NT) -- judge not, 10:30:17 10/29/09 Thu I hear what you're saying, but at the same time, I don't understand why parents of girls 10 - 12 who are DEFINITELY going to grow don't buy their dresses with an inch or so on the longer side, instead of several inches shorter than the guideline of 4 inches above the knee. (NT) -- I just don't get it., 19:33:02 10/29/09 Thu Two factors to consider: 1. 10-12 year old girls have a tendency to grow rapidly..but you don't know when or how much. The growth spurt between "dress measurement" and completed dress on a child who has grown in the meantime is a very difficult part of buying a new dress. 2. The "BNDM" in Ireland DOES NOT make the dress the length you requested - with the back of the skirt 1 inch shorter than the front. It's not easy, very stressful and personally I may never buy a "new" dress again. (NT) -- Dress-stressed Mom, 20:25:40 10/29/09 Thu

Subject: Attn: All Open ID's, Feis Mom's & Dad's who where at HV Feis late Sunday PM Please HELP find "Eugene"
Author: Feis Dad who "lost" Eugene [Edit]	Date Posted: 13:16:47 10/27/09 Tue "Eugene" is a very special (to us) wooden hanger that someone may have accidently picked up to hang their dress on. If you use a wooden hanger, please check to see if it has "Eugene" written on it in very light writing. Eugene came to the USA (via Sligo & Dublin) in 1955 and belonged to my ID's great uncle who fought for Irish Independance. I would be more than happy to pay for postage if you find it or meet you at the "O" to secure the return of Eugene to our family. Cash reward for anyone that finds/returns Eugene, no questions asked.

Subject: FREE TUTORIAL: Understanding Timing for Irish Dance Music. Want to improve your timing? Create steps with more impact? Know which type of tune is playing (What�s a slip jig? What�s a single jig? Why is Drunken Gauger/Blackthorn stick so strange?). No music knowledge necessary. Email me at mark@markarringtonmusic.com.
Author: Mark Arrington [Edit]	Date Posted: 12:10:49 10/26/09 Mon This tutorial starts with the basic descriptions of timing, and then matches timing to the tunes. There are some ideas about where people make mistakes identifying or following tunes, and ideas for better matching the steps to the music. There is a discussion on how to hear and anticipate phrases in dance tunes and a description of the Beat per Minute as it relates to dancers and musicians. [ Post a Reply to This Message ]

The dress is fairly up-to-date considering age and still shows well. (NT) -- Happy Camper, 12:34:11 10/27/09 Tue
