What is SS & what would be the point of waiting? (NT) -- .., 21:30:04 10/18/18 Thu

I am guessing SS means South Shore. Maybe waiting so that dancers can compete and then transfer to a CLRG school, if they so choose? Perhaps in that instance they wouldn't have to serve the ban? -- Just speculating..., 06:32:12 10/19/18 Fri

Maybe they want to return to their roots? (NT) -- Lol, 19:45:47 10/20/18 Sat

Their roots aren't An Com unless they were a former An Com school. CLRG is the older organization by more than 25 years. Not aware of any An Com schools in all of MA. Does anybody know of any? (NT) -- curious, 09:56:44 10/21/18 Sun

Seriously!!?? Wasn’t there a security guy at the desk?? We have to have a police and fire detail at our feis. That’s really scary, our kids aren’t even safe in their ID bubble anymore. (NT) -- 😡😡, 19:27:00 10/07/18 Sun
Upsetting. He was at my dd's stage sitting on the floor with a very large camera lens taking pictures of girls. It took a few minutes for dance parents to realize no-one knew who he was. When asked who he was with and why he was taking pictures he said, "its my hobby." He got up and moved to another stage and started taking pictures again. Reported him to feis organizers. When they started approaching him he left the building. (NT) -- Creepy., 19:29:00 10/07/18 Sun

Sitting on the floor for an up the dress shot?? Absolutely disgusting! (NT) -- Police should have been called, 19:36:23 10/07/18 Sun

Sitting on the floor cross-legged, taking photos of girls ready to dance on stage. Not an up-the-dress shot, but no less frightening. He looked so confident... like he belonged there. That is why no one noticed his behavior immediately. (NT) -- .., 20:22:55 10/07/18 Sun

At my dd's comp he was definitely taking pictures of them WHILE they were dancing. That is the first time we noticed him. At the stage we were on the girls lined up on the far end (stage 7). He was in front of the stage--just behind judges to the left, and was taking pictures during the dancing. At the stage he moved to (the gymnasium), he was also taking action shots when he was reported to feis organizers. There was no security. (NT) -- dm, 04:45:00 10/08/18 Mon

This man was asked to leave at least twice. One time he left and later returned to the building. The second time he moved to a different room until he was told to leave again. If you had interactions with him please let your TC know! (NT) -- xxxxx, 05:34:00 10/08/18 Mon

Not much your TC can do, the police should have been called. (NT) -- Common sense, 05:42:09 10/08/18 Mon

While it is true that there is not much the TC can do at this point about this particular situation--the TCs do have an annual meeting at NEO and they can, collectively, remind each other of feis rules regarding security, etc. . . I agree that TCs should be informed that this happened. I also think it was an appropriate response to alert the feis organizers--they should have called the police, not the parents. (NT) -- My 2cents, 06:25:48 10/08/18 Mon

Police should have been called (NT) -- .., 05:54:18 10/08/18 Mon

Does anyone know what the rules are to run a feis? Are there any? I only know what our feis does so I’m curious if some sort of safety is required but they disregarded. (NT) -- Priorities, 06:35:08 10/08/18 Mon

Good questions--exactly the sort of conversation that would be good to have at the NEO teachers meeting. (NT) -- **, 07:24:26 10/08/18 Mon

Did anyone think to take a picture of him? Is he In the background of any pictures you took -- DM, 08:12:17 10/08/18 Mon
The building was so hot, the back door of the gym was open. -- DM, 09:26:24 10/08/18 Mon
Our Feis has a security team designated - School dads but some are law enforcement. They don't work in their capacity of law enforcement at feis but have the skills to recognize problems and alert properly. Just having "security" on tshirt can be a deterrent. (NT) -- Highly recommend, 10:35:28 10/08/18 Mon
We had this same issue once before. The Gray feis, I think? So disgusted with people. Sorry that happened to you guys up there :( (NT) -- dm, 12:23:21 10/08/18 Mon
I feel like this feis needs a change of venue. The area and parking are sketchy at best, the facility is hot and tired, lacks restrooms, and in general the floors are either bumpy or a postage stamp. The pedophile is just the icing on the cake. (NT) -- Never again, 18:42:55 10/08/18 Mon

Were you aware that there was a pass for free parking at the T station across the street from the school available on the Forbes web site? Plenty of people including me leave their car there every day for work and have never had an issue. And there were even T police there on Sunday because of the shuttle busses that were running instead of trains - parking could not have been less sketchy! -- Happy with NQH, 19:42:51 10/08/18 Mon
North Quincy is not a sketchy area at all. -- Local DM, 06:53:03 10/09/18 Tue

It becomes sketchy when there is no security there to make sure he STAYS out (NT) -- Other venues require a detail, why not this one?, 07:35:50 10/09/18 Tue
North Quincy itself is not sketchy but that school has seen better days. Quincy HS might be a better choice. (NT) -- certainly a lot more modern, 15:39:25 10/09/18 Tue

They have done it at Quincy HS in the past. Parking there is abysmal (NT) -- NQHS all the way!, 18:00:07 10/09/18 Tue

video too! -- Stage 4/5 Mom (worried), 05:07:24 10/09/18 Tue

Do you remember the approximate time? -- DM, 08:00:41 10/09/18 Tue

He was at stage 7 at approximately noon. He was not associated with ANY dancer. He admitted that. He said it was his "hobby." Not a grandparent. (NT) -- ****, 09:24:52 10/09/18 Tue

When I see someone taking pictures of my dds at a feis, I politely remind them that pictures/videos are not allowed. 9 times out of 10 it is a grandparent who does not know the rule. That 10th time though is someone really nasty. When I've run stages at a feis, if I see someone or it is brought to my attention, I say something. I've had judges say "there's no way to enforce this, don't worry about it." (NT) -- Why bother having rules?, 07:58:39 10/09/18 Tue
Sadly there needs to be more rules for dancers too.. we are to blame too girls with tight tops short tight shorts,make up, wigs tans tanks with no bra... a sex offenders paradise sadly.... dancers need to be more aware in todays age who knows where those photos went or who has them police should have been called....do you want someone having ohotos of youyr child!!! (NT) -- kk, 13:27:05 10/09/18 Tue

NO WAY. You can NOT blame dancers for the pervs out there. -- DM, 13:48:00 10/09/18 Tue

Can't blame them for pervs but can blame them for not having modesty. Been to many feises in venues that have employees etc and walking around with tight spanks and camis showing everything is not a good look. Also many other men around at any given time - not appropriate. Our TC has strick rules about this. (NT) -- imo- flame me, 17:27:24 10/09/18 Tue

Are you for real? Even the most revealing under-the-dress wear at a feis shows less than leotards that gymnasts wear, costumes that dancers in more mainstream disciplines (jazz, lyrical, tap, hip-hop), and certainly swimmers wear. It's 2018 and we're still having conversations about who's responsible for a pervert's behavior? (News flash: it's the pervert and only the pervert!) (NT) -- Your opinion is wrong, 08:09:50 10/13/18 Sat

I am appalled at anyone who would put blame on the dancers. Although I agree that there needs to be standards of dress, it does not give other permission to harass or stalk. What is this world coming to when those who may fall victim to a predator is blamed. Shame on you. -- DM, 19:33:20 10/09/18 Tue

Also appalled. Not surprised, but appalled. (NT) -- dm, 07:03:11 10/10/18 Wed

I was taken back last year at O dancers walking around in underwear like spanks because they just got a spray tan in a public convention center ... ITV should have rules what other sport do you see girls walking around d in sports bras ... (NT) -- Dd (D), 21:04:52 10/09/18 Tue

My dancer runs xc and runs through town in a sports bra and short Lycra running shorts. (NT) -- Dm, 08:20:28 10/10/18 Wed

A sports bra and short athletic shorts cover more than most bathing suits in the summer. Do not put blame on the dancers. (NT) -- ‘, 22:07:42 10/13/18 Sat
When that happens. take a picture on the man and report it to both the police and feis organizers. The police may have him on file. (NT) -- Let's be proactive ourselves!, 14:22:30 10/21/18 Sun

OP again--I was referring to the sentence: "The 3rd round will be done alternating back and forth (side by side stages) allowing dancers and adjudicators a bit more time in between set dances. Sounds like two sets of judges, right? Looks like 45 sets in my daughter's "comp" if they are alternating between both stages. Feels like Oireachtas. (NT) -- Thanks again, 14:06:58 10/20/18 Sat

Runs smooth. Usually a good feis as so close to oireachtas and many OCs will attend. However, pretty sure floors are just Marley laid on gym floor. (NT) -- CFF, 07:53:51 10/18/18 Thu
Crowded but that is to be expected so close to oireachtas. Size of classes a good practice run for the O. (NT) -- my2cents, 09:29:41 10/18/18 Thu
No raised stages. That's a bummer & a pass for us. Thank you both for the feedback (NT) -- & saving me money, 17:18:07 10/18/18 Thu

Auditorium and Auxiliary Gym are both raised stages now, this will be the 3rd or 4th time we have had those as raised stages. (NT) -- Feis Committee, 20:33:54 10/18/18 Thu

Thank you! (NT) -- Signing up, 21:32:04 10/18/18 Thu
Will open comps be on one of the stages with raised floors? -- Mom, 10:15:27 10/19/18 Fri

Yes, open competitions are in either the auditorium or auxiliary gym. (NT) -- Feis Committee, 19:49:42 10/19/18 Fri

Correction- the only stage we build is the auditorium. So sorry for the incorrect post. Auditorium stage is raised. (NT) -- Feis Committee, 20:06:14 10/19/18 Fri

So auxiliary gym is not raised? So only auditorium stage is raised? Thank you for clarifying. (NT) -- Mom, 04:38:32 10/20/18 Sat

Positives: close to O, all of your O competition will be there, tends to move smoothly. Cons: *very* crowded, no raised stages, no where to practice, limited parking, old building and the toilets ALWAYS flood. Is this the one where a prelim comp is held in the lobby while people try to walk thru? (NT) -- Me in CT, 20:35:23 10/18/18 Thu

I'm just curious why you think smaller should be first; honestly my dd in sr group. Sometimes they are first, sometimes they are last and rarely, but sometimes they are mid-day. I know when I sign up it could be anywhere from 8 to 4 and that is the risk I take with any feis. Just sit back, enjoy the day and the company of feis friends. (NT) -- :), 08:35:34 10/19/18 Fri

No, our school doesn't let you do Trad Set if you are prelim, even a not yet placing one. TC feels that Trad Set should be reserved for grades dancers and that prelims should stick to solos. No prelim ever got better by doing the Trad Set. Solos are much better for them experience-wise. She said only TCs who care more about results than about what's best for their dancers would make prelims do trad set. (NT) -- our school, 17:23:14 10/14/18 Sun

100% agree with this (NT) -- Preach!, 17:59:39 10/14/18 Sun

In our school, TC has allowed a non placing prelim do trad set because dancer couldn't handle coming in last place. Especially if they are brand new, I see no problem with it. (NT) -- Saving face, 18:33:07 10/14/18 Sun

I'd rather come in last in solos than first in trad set. Once you're in prelim, placing in trad set at the O, a competition intended for grades kids, would be pretty meaningless. (NT) -- to me, 21:00:15 10/14/18 Sun

Agree and really no difference when a student is held in PW with more firsts then they can count just to do trad at Oireachtas. (NT) -- DM, 05:54:10 10/15/18 Mon

If already in Prelim, why do Trad? If TC requires PW to get more than CLRG requested 1sts, that is at TC discretion, correct? Then Trad is appropriate- still a PW and no one really pays attention to Trad Set placements in the long run- why would anyone even care? (NT) -- ., 07:40:58 10/15/18 Mon
TC may not feel dancer is ready to dance on large stage in solos; other regions require placements in prelim in order to dance solos at Oireachtas (NT) -- NE a little more lenient, 08:25:41 10/15/18 Mon
Another perspective - trad set can provide an opportunity to really focus and work on basics (crossing, foot placement, timing, rhythm) in a way you cannot with more difficult steps. So, honestly, it can be a very useful exercise to do and focus on in lieu of doing OIreachtas solos. (NT) -- Just another thought., 10:58:52 10/16/18 Tue
Technically, the rule is that if you place in PC you are NOT allowed to do trad set at the O. So I don't see what the issue is with a kid who hasn't placed yet doing trad set. They may just be "in between" levels and placing in TS at the O might be a nice boost. (NT) -- IMHO, 15:21:45 10/16/18 Tue

If my kid were forced to do TS as a prelim, I'd have been pretty unhappy. TS is useless for a prelim. All the solos classes at your school plus the actual experience of dancing solos will do a prelim far more good than a bunch of TS classes and doing TS with the Novs and PWs at the O. (NT) -- mom of OC, 18:49:09 10/16/18 Tue

Reality is some kids will never place in prelim.. especially at the 14-16 age maybe teacher wants to give the dancer a boost . Have they placed at O before might be nice to get a placement in trad (NT) -- Dd, 20:33:20 10/16/18 Tue

I don't think that's true. When dd was 14-16 she was prelim. Pretty much anybody who worked at it at all did place after awhile, if not immediately. It's silly to put prelims in Trad Set. The trad set comp at the O was started in order to give grades dancers a taste of the O, as well as to bring in more money. Trad set placements are great if you're in the grades. Training for and placing in in Trad Set doesn't help prepare a prelim for feis success the way training for solos will do. (NT) -- very longtime ID mama, 17:28:48 10/17/18 Wed

Read schedule closely; may be a bit confusing for Adv. Beg parents who aren't used to having to switch stages; i.e. AB u8 does hard shoe dances in the morning and light shoe dances in the afternoon on a different stage. TC's may want to help clarify schedule for the inexperienced ones. (NT) -- fyi, 07:56:42 10/16/18 Tue

looks like ADV Beg does light shoe first and maybe a break to change shoes? Nov/PW start with hard shoes then light in the afternoon: (NT) -- ff, 14:29:24 10/16/18 Tue

Here is how I find hotels, I go to google Maps, put in the town, and click on "nearby", then "hotels". It will give you a map and a list of everything in the area. Plenty of options in the Woburn area, just south of Wilmington and right off the highway. (NT) -- hth, 13:44:41 10/16/18 Tue

For Champ comps, are all the comps listed at the posted running concurrently, or are they running them sequentially? (NT) -- DM, 15:30:42 10/16/18 Tue

My dancer is OC U9, I was assuming she was after those prelim comps. Is it possible they are doing all the comp hard shoes and then going back through for soft shoe??? That is not how I read the schedule at all. (NT) -- Confused, 17:16:25 10/16/18 Tue
I assumed sequentially too (NT) -- Prelim u10 mom, 20:32:03 10/16/18 Tue
I thought sequentially as well until I saw that on other stages the champ comps are listied at individual times. Its would also be hard to run the U8/U9 prelim groups sequentially as they are so small, so concurrent seems to make more sense. (NT) -- emailing committee soon, 13:48:20 10/17/18 Wed

I really do appreciate their early schedule, BUT the way this schedule was put together is difficult on a lot of families. Half of my kids dances are in the am and the other half late afternoon. It is completely impractical for us and will have to skip the afternoon dances which is frustrating. Many parents I’ve spoken to feel the same. (NT) -- Wasted money, 20:01:32 10/16/18 Tue

This type of schedule may be all new to many of you, but dd has been feising since dinosaur days (19 years) and this was very common. Although it may not be convenient, it allows dancers a break between hard shoes and light shoe dances and gives them a different judge for half of their dances; we expected to spend the day and made lots of friends while there. Some still compete together after all these years. (NT) -- find the silver lining, 10:55:23 10/17/18 Wed

Was wondering if someone could explain what the rules are for Fake Tan on an Under 8 dancer?? I thought no makeup/fake tan were allowed but I’ve noticed a lot of tanned legs in my DDs competition??

Subject: One month before Oireachtas and just a few days before the feis, feis committee combines boys and girls in open champ comps? Not cool Coogan. How about having the champs compete against competitors they will actually compete against in a month from now. Not cool.

Actually it's great. Dd loves having boys in her comp and wishes her majors did the same. (NT) -- a different view, 19:58:33 10/13/18 Sat
How many boys are in DD's comp? It says on the syllabus that open boys will be combined with girls if less than 5 entered. -- read your syllabus, 20:56:41 10/13/18 Sat

OP clearly didn't bother to read the syllabus. Newsflash for OP: you'll dance with prelims at the O and they're not in your OC comps at feiseanna. I've seen many, many prelims do far better at the O than some of the OCs. So you're never going to have a feis comp comprised of only those you'll compete against at the O. (NT) -- so grow up, 08:55:54 10/14/18 Sun

This is nothing new. What does it really matter? My DD competed for years against an amazing boy dancer in Open Comps. She was frequently one place below him at many Feis. So what? He's an incredible dancer and at a major it made no difference. (NT) -- Not worth getting your knickers in a twist., 21:47:49 10/13/18 Sat
When boys have to switch to SJ every other year then it will be fair to compete with the girls (NT) -- Dd, 10:47:13 10/14/18 Sun
I’m ok with the boys combining but those floors were a joke. Bumpy Marley laid right on top of gym floor for open comps right before oireachtas? Not good (NT) -- Mom, 14:25:20 10/14/18 Sun
This whole feis was a mess. Moving comps from one room to another without telling stagehands or judges, slippery/ bumpy/ poorly laid floors, no real food (but plenty of candy and soda), and OLD judges who don't watch the comps. Won't be back. (NT) -- Dance Mom, 20:38:53 10/14/18 Sun

The food truck was amazing. We thought the food options were good. (NT) -- Just sayin', 20:51:23 10/14/18 Sun

Didn't see a food truck. It must have left by the time we arrived. (NT) -- Me in NE, 06:16:41 10/15/18 Mon
Food truck was amazing! So glad it was there! (NT) -- feis mom, 07:25:53 10/15/18 Mon

Were we at the same feis? Thought the flooring was fine, not slippery. And yummy chicken fingers/fries. No complaints here. (NT) -- different experience, 21:08:17 10/14/18 Sun

Small gym was very slippery. Several dancers fell. Many stumbled. (NT) -- Mom, 06:18:13 10/15/18 Mon

We witnessed a number of falls and slips in the small gym. The floor was bumpy in many parts (NT) -- GRK, 06:38:25 10/15/18 Mon

I agree about the old judges. Some of them need to retire. -- It’s not the 80s/90s anymore., 07:16:52 10/15/18 Mon

I agree with this 150% And it's not even just about modernized steps.. more inside -- DM, 08:25:52 10/15/18 Mon
Agreed 😩 (NT) -- DM, 08:39:48 10/15/18 Mon

There was a sign in the cafeteria that there was a food truck outside. I was actually pretty impressed with the choices. (NT) -- ..., 04:19:24 10/15/18 Mon

I liked the food options and I thought the feis ran on time and had nice volunteers. Stages in the auditorium were good. Thank you Coogan for the opportunity to feis! (NT) -- DM, 10:15:51 10/15/18 Mon

News Flash!!!! 😃🎉☘️🏆 It's "Second Chance Sunday" at the Kotelnicki Feis on October 14th! We have added two categories of Second Chance opportunities to our Feis.
Preliminary Dancers: Prelim dancers who choose this additional option will have the opportunity to repeat their dances before a completely different panel of prestigious Adjudicators. You may add the Preliminary Second Chance to your entry for a charge of $25.00 (exempt from maximum family fee). The competitions are listed in Feis Web under the number for your regular Preliminary group with the suffix "SC" added.
Open Dancers: Want expanded feedback about your Set piece? The Open Second Chance option enables you to repeat your Set in front of three different Adjudicators with the emphasis on comments rather than place ranking. Charge for this option is $15.00 (exempt from maximum family fee). The competitions are listed in Feis Web under the number for your regular Open group with the suffix "SC" added.
These options are only available to those dancers who register (or have registered) for the Preliminary/Open competitions.
Register today for another opportunity to run through your steps prior to MARO. Your Second Chance may be your best one!

I danced competitively until around 14 years old. I am looking for a studio where I can keep up my dancing because I love it, but I don't want the pressure of competition. Also, I am a student now, so don't have $100s of dollars to be spending on classes. If anyone knows good classes I would really appreciate it!

What college are you going to? Some of the colleges have Irish Dance clubs, that might be something to look into. (NT) -- worth a shot, 11:34:11 09/21/18 Fri

college -- Irishgirl, 19:46:56 09/23/18 Sun

I didn't send that last message correctly sorry -I am at Berklee -- Irishgirl, 19:48:03 09/23/18 Sun

Kenny heavy Quinn -- Dm, 11:34:45 09/21/18 Fri
Yes Kenny seems to have some good dancers. Up and coming -- Dm, 11:36:43 09/21/18 Fri
What college are you at? I know of a school that offers a great deal to college kids (NT) -- cm, 18:41:59 09/21/18 Fri

Why not just post about the deal you know of instead of being cryptic? I'm sure even if OP can't take advantage of it other college dancers could. (NT) -- right?, 17:44:28 09/23/18 Sun

We are lucky to have many options in the Boston area. Sharing what college you’re at will help us make feasible suggestions. Also agree college clubs are pure joy (NT) -- Hoping to help, 19:34:31 09/22/18 Sat
As much as I know inside! -- Boston-area dancer, 21:58:40 09/22/18 Sat

You forgot Smith Houlihan in Norwood, also near public transportation and also among the more competitive schools. (NT) -- hth, 17:09:28 09/23/18 Sun

Not the AP, but I wouldn't include SH on a list for someone asking about schools in Boston. It may be accessible by commuter rail, but it's not accessible by T. Commuter rail is expensive and runs less frequently. We have a family member who needs to get to Norwood on weekends at times and finds the sparse train service really inconvenient. (NT) -- not a practical choice imho, 19:03:39 09/25/18 Tue

Subject: The O'Shea Chaplin Academy is hosting the grade exams -- grades 1-12 – on January 19 and 20 in the Boston area. Email Lisa at osheachaplin@hotmail.com for more info. All applications and fees for grades 11 and 12 must be received by October 15.

Sometimes certain teachers won’t take out of loyalty to other teacher. Not sure about specifics. Lots of good schools on south shore. But give it a second always changing! (NT) -- Good Luck, 20:28:35 09/17/18 Mon
They all take transfers, but it will depend on which school you are coming from, (NT) -- HTH, 06:36:41 09/18/18 Tue
See if you can find a contact from each school you are interested in (a friend of a friend, etc) to talk with about the school. I think everyone knows that transferring is a big decision and understands more information is better to make an informed decision. (NT) -- hth, 08:46:06 09/18/18 Tue
Answer to your first question as others said is situational, but your second question Clann Lir is absolutely worth considering too. Not with the school but impressed, they're definitely up and coming (NT) -- Hth, 19:08:36 09/18/18 Tue
FYI. Clan Lir is home based in RI with classes on South Shore so be prepared to travel to RI. For workshops and Ceili. Extra class we picked Kenny because of this (NT) -- :), 11:45:30 09/21/18 Fri

It's actually the other way around. There are more classe in their Hingham, MA studio than at their Middletown, RI one. Link to schedule inside for anyone who's curious. -- reader, not from Clann Lir, 17:01:13 09/21/18 Fri

Seconding this. Very little travel to RI. High quality teaching and no-nonsense, no-drama climate at the school. (NT) -- Happy CL family, 21:43:02 09/22/18 Sat

Funny enough, a quick search on a website and a chat with some parents today at the feis , RI is not mandatory but an option to take up to four classes if you wants or five of your champ. (NT) -- Friendly families, 17:57:58 09/23/18 Sun
Does Clan Lir have any National, O placements ... I check the resuts from the past weekend and did not notice many. Kenny in same area had more do they list any on their webpage (NT) -- ?, 12:52:00 09/25/18 Tue

Noticed a few of the open competition winners did not receive perpetual cups. Were some not returned to the feis in time? That's too bad for those competitors. Great feis overall, very timely for both competitions and awards.

Not sure about this particular feis - but sometimes there aren't perpetuals for every competition. Perpetuals are often created/funded by families/friends in memory of a person etc. -- mom, 07:39:38 09/24/18 Mon

I know that there was one for sr ladies last year and not this year. Not certain why or what happened. But almost every group had one. Noticed Open U11, U19 and 19+ did not. (NT) -- odd that it was only a few groups without one, 09:28:21 09/24/18 Mon

Maybe they weren't returned, which is sad if (NT) -- A cup wasn't returned, 11:32:09 09/24/18 Mon
Senior cup -- Jeanine Casano TCRG, 10:01:56 09/25/18 Tue

Not all competitions at a feis, particularly a feis as comparatively young as this one is, will have a perpetual. These are usually donated in memory of someone who has given much to ID, often someone associated with a host school. It can take many years before there would be enough memorial cups for all competitions, if ever. Bear in mind that nobody is owed a cup. It's lovely if you happen to win a comp that just happens to have a perpetual associated with it, but it's happenstance. (NT) -- very longtime ID mama, 17:45:22 09/24/18 Mon

I didn't even realize that school still existed! (NT) -- ?, 09:37:03 09/15/18 Sat
I PM'ed them last week and was told that it was definitely still happening and that it would be hopefully open on feisweb yesterday. That has not yet happened, but just an FYI that I was told the feis is on. And they sent me this link: https://odwyeririshdancing.wixsite.com/feis (NT) -- HTH, 09:37:06 09/15/18 Sat
There's a syllabus up now. It's on. (NT) -- X, 09:38:14 09/15/18 Sat
Looks like they had a venue change. Their closing date says October 7. They better get a move on opening it on Feisweb if they expect anyone to show up! (NT) -- waiting, 05:47:51 09/16/18 Sun
Typical of this TC. (NT) -- Eyeroll, 14:44:30 09/16/18 Sun

and kudos to any school willing to run a feis in today's irish dancing world - so thank you to this school and TC for offering one. Everything so far looks good - the judges, the information, the venue -- but people will STILL complain!! (NT) -- dt, 18:45:04 09/21/18 Fri

No complaints about the feis. Just the TC. (NT) -- Eyeroll, 13:42:27 09/22/18 Sat

Up on feisweb now. Maybe not as early as some more established feises, but not extraordinarily late either. Give them a break. (NT) -- 2 cents, 20:21:21 09/16/18 Sun

And it takes about 30 seconds to sign up on feis web (NT) -- Not familiar with the school either , but people need to relax, 17:54:40 09/18/18 Tue

AD's already posted (usually have to wait) and feis web is up - nice to have a new feis: don't know the school but wish them luck! (NT) -- kc, 22:20:51 09/16/18 Sun

Thank you for the suggestions. Much appreciated. (NT) -- FeisMom, 06:11:58 09/18/18 Tue

1 exit away is Hyatt Place. Right across from Southahire Mall. (NT) -- Hth, 17:17:32 09/18/18 Tue

*South Shore* (NT) -- Autocorrect!, 17:19:14 09/18/18 Tue

Rockland right off exit 14 would be closest, or just about anything in Braintree. If you wanted to make a touristy weekend out of it you could also consider Plymouth, which is about a 30-45 minute drive along back roads. (NT) -- South Shore mom, 19:38:45 09/18/18 Tue
Rockland has a Comfort Inn, Best Western and Doubletree about 15-20 min from venue exit 14 off route 3 (NT) -- DM, 09:11:07 09/19/18 Wed

If you're staying there and have a later start, there's a great little breakfast/brunch place called Strawberry Fair just a mile or so up the road. (NT) -- might be nicer than hotel breakfast :), 10:24:00 09/19/18 Wed

Thanks all. We got a hotel in Rockland. (NT) -- Much appreciated, 15:40:34 09/19/18 Wed
Should we Uber from the airport? Or rent a car? (NT) -- Out of region mom, 19:56:09 09/20/18 Thu

Ubering from the airport wouldn’t be crazy expensive but Ubering from hotel to feis and when you leave feis could prove challenging. Not a huge area for Uber in those suburbs. (NT) -- Rent a car if decent rate, 20:11:36 09/20/18 Thu

There are actually a lot of Ubers in these towns, but I think renting a car would probably work out to be less expensive and more convenient than Ubering from airport to hotel to dinner to feis etc. (NT) -- local mom, 06:16:47 09/21/18 Fri

Also local and have had long waits for Ubers in this area (NT) -- Another vote for car rental, 14:29:53 09/21/18 Fri

Renting a car probably cheaper option. Uber to that exit runs ~$90 from the airport (including tip). (NT) -- South Shore Mom, 13:50:25 09/21/18 Fri

Seriously!!?? Wasn’t there a security guy at the desk?? We have to have a police and fire detail at our feis. That’s really scary, our kids aren’t even safe in their ID bubble anymore. (NT) -- 😡😡, 19:27:00 10/07/18 Sun Upsetting. He was at my dd's stage sitting on the floor with a very large camera lens taking pictures of girls. It took a few minutes for dance parents to realize no-one knew who he was. When asked who he was with and why he was taking pictures he said, "its my hobby." He got up and moved to another stage and started taking pictures again. Reported him to feis organizers. When they started approaching him he left the building.

(NT) -- Police should have been called, 19:36:23 10/07/18 Sun Sitting on the floor cross-legged, taking photos of girls ready to dance on stage. Not an up-the-dress shot, but no less frightening. He looked so confident... like he belonged there. That is why no one noticed his behavior immediately. (NT) -- .., 20:22:55 10/07/18 Sun At my dd's comp he was definitely taking pictures of them WHILE they were dancing. That is the first time we noticed him. At the stage we were on the girls lined up on the far end (stage 7). He was in front of the stage--just behind judges to the left, and was taking pictures during the dancing. At the stage he moved to (the gymnasium), he was also taking action shots when he was reported to feis organizers. There was no security. (NT) -- dm, 04:45:00 10/08/18 Mon This man was asked to leave at least twice. One time he left and later returned to the building.

I agree that TCs should be informed that this happened. I also think it was an appropriate response to alert the feis organizers--they should have called the police, not the parents. (NT) -- My 2cents, 06:25:48 10/08/18 Mon Police should have been called (NT) -- .., 05:54:18 10/08/18 Mon Does anyone know what the rules are to run a feis? Are there any?

They don't work in their capacity of law enforcement at feis but have the skills to recognize problems and alert properly. Just having "security" on tshirt can be a deterrent.

Sorry that happened to you guys up there :( (NT) -- dm, 12:23:21 10/08/18 Mon I feel like this feis needs a change of venue. The area and parking are sketchy at best, the facility is hot and tired, lacks restrooms, and in general the floors are either bumpy or a postage stamp. The pedophile is just the icing on the cake. (NT) -- Never again, 18:42:55 10/08/18 Mon Were you aware that there was a pass for free parking at the T station across the street from the school available on the Forbes web site? Plenty of people including me leave their car there every day for work and have never had an issue. And there were even T police there on Sunday because of the shuttle busses that were running instead of trains - parking could not have been less sketchy! -- Happy with NQH, 19:42:51 10/08/18 Mon North Quincy is not a sketchy area at all. -- Local DM, 06:53:03 10/09/18 Tue It becomes sketchy when there is no security there to make sure he STAYS out (NT) -- Other venues require a detail, why not this one?, 07:35:50 10/09/18 Tue North Quincy itself is not sketchy but that school has seen better days. Quincy HS might be a better choice. (NT) -- certainly a lot more modern, 15:39:25 10/09/18 Tue They have done it at Quincy HS in the past.

He was not associated with ANY dancer. He admitted that. He said it was his "hobby." Not a grandparent. (NT) -- ***, 09:24:52 10/09/18 Tue* When I see someone taking pictures of my dds at a feis, I politely remind them that pictures/videos are not allowed. 9 times out of 10 it is a grandparent who does not know the rule. That 10th time though is someone really nasty. When I've run stages at a feis, if I see someone or it is brought to my attention, I say something. I've had judges say "there's no way to enforce this, don't worry about it." (NT) -- Why bother having rules?, 07:58:39 10/09/18 Tue Sadly there needs to be more rules for dancers too.. we are to blame too girls with tight tops short tight shorts,make up, wigs tans tanks with no bra... a sex offenders paradise sadly.... dancers need to be more aware in todays age who knows where those photos went or who has them police should have been called....do you want someone having ohotos of youyr child!!! (NT) -- kk, 13:27:05 10/09/18 Tue NO WAY. You can NOT blame dancers for the pervs out there. -- DM, 13:48:00 10/09/18 Tue Can't blame them for pervs but can blame them for not having modesty. Been to many feises in venues that have employees etc and walking around with tight spanks and camis showing everything is not a good look. Also many other men around at any given time - not appropriate. Our TC has strick rules about this. (NT) -- imo- flame me, 17:27:24 10/09/18 Tue Are you for real? Even the most revealing under-the-dress wear at a feis shows less than leotards that gymnasts wear, costumes that dancers in more mainstream disciplines (jazz, lyrical, tap, hip-hop), and certainly swimmers wear. It's 2018 and we're still having conversations about who's responsible for a pervert's behavior? (News flash: it's the pervert and only the pervert!) (NT) -- Your opinion is wrong, 08:09:50 10/13/18 Sat I am appalled at anyone who would put blame on the dancers. Although I agree that there needs to be standards of dress, it does not give other permission to harass or stalk. What is this world coming to when those who may fall victim to a predator is blamed.

Subject: Does your school make you do trad if you have not placed in Prelim yet? Daughter upset about it
Author: Dd [ Edit \| View ]	Date Posted: 15:40:11 10/14/18 Sun [ Post a Reply to This Message ]
Replies:
No, our school doesn't let you do Trad Set if you are prelim, even a not yet placing one. TC feels that Trad Set should be reserved for grades dancers and that prelims should stick to solos. No prelim ever got better by doing the Trad Set. Solos are much better for them experience-wise. She said only TCs who care more about results than about what's best for their dancers would make prelims do trad set. (NT) -- our school, 17:23:14 10/14/18 Sun 100% agree with this (NT) -- Preach!, 17:59:39 10/14/18 Sun In our school, TC has allowed a non placing prelim do trad set because dancer couldn't handle coming in last place. Especially if they are brand new, I see no problem with it. (NT) -- Saving face, 18:33:07 10/14/18 Sun I'd rather come in last in solos than first in trad set. Once you're in prelim, placing in trad set at the O, a competition intended for grades kids, would be pretty meaningless. (NT) -- to me, 21:00:15 10/14/18 Sun Agree and really no difference when a student is held in PW with more firsts then they can count just to do trad at Oireachtas. (NT) -- DM, 05:54:10 10/15/18 Mon If already in Prelim, why do Trad? If TC requires PW to get more than CLRG requested 1sts, that is at TC discretion, correct? Then Trad is appropriate- still a PW and no one really pays attention to Trad Set placements in the long run- why would anyone even care? (NT) -- ., 07:40:58 10/15/18 Mon TC may not feel dancer is ready to dance on large stage in solos; other regions require placements in prelim in order to dance solos at Oireachtas (NT) -- NE a little more lenient, 08:25:41 10/15/18 Mon Another perspective - trad set can provide an opportunity to really focus and work on basics (crossing, foot placement, timing, rhythm) in a way you cannot with more difficult steps. So, honestly, it can be a very useful exercise to do and focus on in lieu of doing OIreachtas solos. (NT) -- Just another thought., 10:58:52 10/16/18 Tue Technically, the rule is that if you place in PC you are NOT allowed to do trad set at the O. So I don't see what the issue is with a kid who hasn't placed yet doing trad set. They may just be "in between" levels and placing in TS at the O might be a nice boost. (NT) -- IMHO, 15:21:45 10/16/18 Tue If my kid were forced to do TS as a prelim, I'd have been pretty unhappy. TS is useless for a prelim. All the solos classes at your school plus the actual experience of dancing solos will do a prelim far more good than a bunch of TS classes and doing TS with the Novs and PWs at the O. (NT) -- mom of OC, 18:49:09 10/16/18 Tue Reality is some kids will never place in prelim.. especially at the 14-16 age maybe teacher wants to give the dancer a boost . Have they placed at O before might be nice to get a placement in trad (NT) -- Dd, 20:33:20 10/16/18 Tue I don't think that's true. When dd was 14-16 she was prelim. Pretty much anybody who worked at it at all did place after awhile, if not immediately. It's silly to put prelims in Trad Set. The trad set comp at the O was started in order to give grades dancers a taste of the O, as well as to bring in more money. Trad set placements are great if you're in the grades. Training for and placing in in Trad Set doesn't help prepare a prelim for feis success the way training for solos will do. (NT) -- very longtime ID mama, 17:28:48 10/17/18 Wed

Its would also be hard to run the U8/U9 prelim groups sequentially as they are so small, so concurrent seems to make more sense. (NT) -- emailing committee soon, 13:48:20 10/17/18 Wed I really do appreciate their early schedule, BUT the way this schedule was put together is difficult on a lot of families. Half of my kids dances are in the am and the other half late afternoon. It is completely impractical for us and will have to skip the afternoon dances which is frustrating. Many parents I’ve spoken to feel the same. (NT) -- Wasted money, 20:01:32 10/16/18 Tue This type of schedule may be all new to many of you, but dd has been feising since dinosaur days (19 years) and this was very common. Although it may not be convenient, it allows dancers a break between hard shoes and light shoe dances and gives them a different judge for half of their dances; we expected to spend the day and made lots of friends while there. Some still compete together after all these years. (NT) -- find the silver lining, 10:55:23 10/17/18 Wed
