Subject: So Disappointed in Bracken Feis today. Some prelim placements rec’d trophies, some only tiny medals. Will pay $55 elsewhere to a feis that rewards hard work!

I agree...prelim placements are tough to achieve in competitive age groups, especially this time of year when the girls are working their butts off to get 2nd firsts for nationals. -- Also disappointed, 11:50:03 04/29/18 Sun
Well organized Feis, but agree, a tiny medal for a 6th place placement in a huge Prelim group, when a smaller group does get trophies, is stingy. Also, stages.... I would gladly pay more for quality stages and enough trophies for all Prelim/champ placements. (NT) -- DM, 13:58:05 04/29/18 Sun
I have to respectfully disagree. -- dm, 17:37:53 04/29/18 Sun

When you see other prelims, only an age group younger, walking around with trophies and larger medals....it’s unfair. -- NotOp, 19:52:35 04/29/18 Sun

Not certain what happened with the trophies, by my DD for one loves the chocolate bar for medal rounds; has hundreds of medals collecting dust. Of course, she is old enough to remember when medal rounds and sashes were for open champs only (NT) -- should be happy to be acknowledged, 09:21:34 04/30/18 Mon

I agree. I posted the above info as I had just seen it on FB but then there are still some that don't do FB. This Feis practically tells you where to find spare toilet paper. There's no lack of info out on this one!!! (NT) -- A mom, 08:36:14 04/25/18 Wed

Hello - we changed the date late fees went into effect to 4/18. We are still accepting registrations with a late fee through feisweb. We are currently working on the schedule and hope to post by the weekend as planned. If you have any further questions please do not hesitate to contact us directly via Facebook or email for a prompt response. Thank you for interest and we’re looking forward to a great weekend! (NT) -- Bracken Feis Committee, 14:45:15 04/19/18 Thu

I think the confusion stems from your statement that you were "closing early" and the FeisWeb site stated entries were "closing" on 4/17 and it now states they are closing on 4/25 (NT) -- ???, 08:52:34 04/20/18 Fri

This is on their website. The schedule will be out soon. "The detailed schedule will be released as soon as possible after entries close, the Wednesday before the feis at the latest (as is typical in New England)." (NT) -- Nemom, 19:29:11 04/22/18 Sun

Yes I read that, but then on their FB page and above they said they were closing early to get the schedule out by the weekend before which didn't happen. With the 2 feises, different dress for each and the changes it just gets muddled, but I am sure they are doing the best they can and we will be patient (NT) -- MidMom, 05:19:24 04/23/18 Mon

The schedules are posted to our facebook page and will be posted to our website later today. (NT) -- Bracken Feis Committee, 06:54:19 04/23/18 Mon

Are open champs starting in hard shoe or lt shoe; dd was in first comp last year, they all got ready, in hard shoe to start and were sternly told that syllabus said lt shoe first. So this year, we very carefully read syllabus and now schedule and see no notes about which dance is first. (NT) -- can you enlighten us, please, 09:32:51 04/23/18 Mon

Also if there are 2 ages written and it says U8 & U9 does that mean they r combined or concurrent?? (NT) -- Making sure I am reading it right, 10:52:33 04/23/18 Mon

Anyone else having trouble accessing Bracken's website? (NT) -- not loading, 09:57:39 04/23/18 Mon

I also can’t get it to load, maybe all of our questions crashed it. (NT) -- 🤪, 10:55:31 04/23/18 Mon
I could access it but don't see Prelim U15 (NT) -- X, 11:02:18 04/23/18 Mon

Check Large Gym schedule? I think ~ 8am start for those guys? (NT) -- ?, 12:16:01 04/23/18 Mon

If I'm reading the schedule right, large gym will be 8 a.m. for prelim u17, followed by prelim u16 and than prelim u15. So maybe about 9:30 for prelim u15? (NT) -- Hoping that's right, 12:24:15 04/23/18 Mon

And they want everyone dressed and ready an hour before competition (NT) -- see you at 7:00 a.m., 12:51:54 04/23/18 Mon

Also if they have championship teams does one need to be a very strong solo dancer too? (NT) -- Dance mom, 08:54:43 04/12/18 Thu

All team members need to be strong dancers. They do not need to be soloists however that experience and training makes them stronger dancers. Judges score all the dancing, not just the lead dancers. (NT) -- No name, 06:00:21 04/14/18 Sat

In looking at the results for the 2017 New England Oir. Girls Ceili results, they placed 1st for teams for each competition: U8, U10, U12, U15, & 15/over. Since your daughter is young, looking at the U8 category there were 2 teams that recalled (1st and 3rd place). So that's 16 dancers U8. They are likely not all at the championship level for solos at that young age. -- Link inside to feisresults, 11:34:54 04/12/18 Thu
Thanks for this, current team has team but it includes tc's daughter, 2 nieces & strong solo dancers no space for dd & not enough to make up second team. What is the standard of teaching like in HPK? (NT) -- Dance mom, 15:31:19 04/12/18 Thu

High, I think. But I have no basis of comparison for teaching in irish dance. We have been at no other school. It may be similar at other dance schools. I can tell you my perspective. -- hth, 11:35:21 04/14/18 Sat

HPK has recently been allowed to complete because they were caught cheating. (NT) -- So there is that..., 16:41:44 04/12/18 Thu

Didn't know if that was truth or speculation, another dm mentioned that when I asked around... (NT) -- What type of dancer do they generally produce? Elegant, powerful etc..., 16:53:21 04/12/18 Thu
Your sentence makes no sense. Perhaps you meant to say "has NOT been allowed to compete". However since the OP asked about Harney, that would be a lie. It was Pender-Keady in CT that cheated, not Harney in MA. (NT) -- let's stick to facts, shall we?, 15:14:59 04/14/18 Sat

Harney didn't cheat, just bailed the cheaters out. And before someone tries to put a heroic spin on it, PK dancers were offered the option to transfer with no ban (NT) -- Lost respect for Harney, 17:23:53 04/14/18 Sat

So you want to punish the dancers that didn't xfer but still wanted to dance? Bless your heart. (NT) -- jig mom, 06:21:46 04/15/18 Sun

I feel bad for the dancers who were made collateral damage by their own teachers unethical actions. Unfortunately there are always consequences, sometimes that have nothing to do with the dancer, in ID. Just ask any of the incredibly hard working kids who busted their butts all year, and never understood they didn't have a shot because numbers were slipped under a door. (NT) -- Thanks for caring about my dancer, and bless your heart too!, 07:09:32 04/15/18 Sun

Consequences for the dancers that had nothing to do with the actions of their teachers????!!! Are you for real????!!!! -- jig mom, 07:31:52 04/15/18 Sun

Yes, unfortunately they belonged to an organization whose leaders tried to cheat. Apparently their teachers didn't consider how their actions would impact their own dancers and all the others from other schools that work so hard. When a coach cheats, the team unfortunately pays the price. I don't really see a difference. It is unfair to the kids, but life isn't always fair. (NT) -- JMO, 07:55:23 04/15/18 Sun

And by the way, I m not "bashing" kids, HPK dancers are amazing dancers and the dancers I know from school are wonderful kids, I am talking about their teachers. Just because someone doesn't agree with what teachers did, it doesn't mean they are "bashing" the kids. (NT) -- JMO, 08:02:28 04/15/18 Sun
It is unfair to the kids and you are not making it any easier. (NT) -- jig mom, 08:54:12 04/15/18 Sun

This is a public forum for discussion, but you are correct and don't want to make it harder on kids (NT) -- No harm meant towards any dancers, 09:08:42 04/15/18 Sun
I think what was unfair to the kids was that their teacher had so little faith in them that she felt the only way they could win was if she cheated. And the saddest part of all of it is that she's still teaching. Shame on the regionand shame on IDTANA and CLRG for allowing this. (NT) -- have lost all respect for them, 08:34:39 04/21/18 Sat

They have always allowed to compete. The two schools merged so the students could compete still from the school in question. Strong teams in Ma. (NT) -- Dancer, 17:55:05 04/12/18 Thu
This is a great school, and if your dd wants to put in the work, she will go far with the instruction she receives here. Please do not pay attention to those who bring up the cheating scandal? Liam Harney stepped in to help out Pender Keady. THERE WAS NO SCANDAL AT THE WALPOLE LOCATION OF THE ORIGINAL HARNEY ACADEMY! I believe that if you choose this school you will not regret it-Liam gets the best from all his dancers. (NT) -- Happy transfer, 18:27:11 04/12/18 Thu
A novice 6 yr old losing motivation? I shuddered reading that. (NT) -- Hope you find what you are looking for, 20:48:34 04/12/18 Thu
So sorry I made you shudder!6 year old is losing motivation as tc is blatently favouring her own dd & nieces, obvious even to the kids, dd feels she will never be as good (NT) -- More parents feel the same&looking elsewhere, 03:01:46 04/13/18 Fri

Must admit I felt the same way when I first read it, but clearly more to the story. (NT) -- Good Luck, 05:57:11 04/13/18 Fri
She is 6 so it could also be she is just losing interest. It happens. No harm in investigating other activities. (NT) -- Nt, 08:08:03 04/15/18 Sun

What is the story about PK cheating? (NT) -- dm, 10:05:40 04/15/18 Sun

Irish dance is SUPER subjective and it's always going to be the teachers kids and their nieces and the favorites and it that bothers you now do yourself and your tiny dancer a huge favor and find another activity. Just because one school got caught doesn't mean everyone else doesn't do it in one way or another. (NT) -- keeping it reel, 06:36:00 04/16/18 Mon

Subject: Personal Training Available for Dancers in Boston Area

Certified PT
[ Edit | View ]
Date Posted: 13:19:46 04/18/18 Wed

Hello! I am an NSCA-Certified Personal Trainer and Open Champ level dancer moving to the Boston Area for grad school. I have a degree in Nutritional Sciences and Nutrition for Exercise and Sport. I work with dancers to prevent injury, improve movement mechanics, and build power and speed in ways that translate to better performance in class and onstage.

Beginning in May, I am offering one-on-one sessions and small-group training to dancers who are looking to prevent injury and reach their goals.

Cross training is hugely important for success in Irish dance, but it is vital that your workouts are effective, safe, and specific to your needs as a dancer. Meeting in person with a trainer is a great way to ensure that your program is tailored to your specific strengths and weaknesses, your questions are answered, and every move is executed with good form.

A couple quick notes -
I like to see a video from class or have my clients do a full so that I can see what their strengths and weaknesses are, but I do not ever address or practice choreography with dancers, so there are no association issues.
No gym membership is necessary - I will work with whatever tools you have available to meet your/your dancer's needs. There are some tools that I encourage dancers to purchase. They are relatively inexpensive, and I can give you a list with exactly where to buy them.
I'm willing to travel outside of Boston, as long as the time and distance are reasonable. If you're in MA but a little further out, let me know and we can decide together whether or not the logistics are feasible.

Working with athletes is my favorite part of training and I feel so strongly about helping other dancers reach their full potential. Please shoot me an email if you'd like any more info or would like to chat about options for you or your dancer. Thanks!

There does not seem to be any clearly written rule about whether you follow your region’s rules wherever you dance or do you follow the rules of the region where you’re dancing? My child’s TC said you follow the rules of the region where you are dancing, but other TCs in the same region say otherwise. To me, it makes sense to follow the rules and the syllabus of the region where you are dancing, not your own region’s rules. But how does the question get officially answered?!?

A dancer with two firsts earned in separate years is NOT allowed to dance in PC in NE. You must follow the rules of the region in which the feis is located. We are forever having problems with MAR dancers who think they can follow MAR rules in NE. They cannot. (NT) -- NE mom, 16:40:09 04/05/18 Thu

That is not the case. This keeps going round and round. You follow the rule of your home region, not the other way around. (NT) -- More sense, 17:36:23 04/05/18 Thu
Our very respected TC, who is involved with region and IDTANA, has told us that it was voted at a teachers meeting to follow the rules of the region of the dancer. It is recorded in the meeting minutes. No appropriate to force her to provide us with this evidence - she is a rule follower and I have no reason to doubt her. (NT) -- so we follow our regions rules, 18:04:33 04/05/18 Thu

If this change has actually occurred and been voted on.....this change should be published somewhere so this debate can be put to bed once and for all! -- DM, 21:02:10 04/05/18 Thu

I agree it needs to be posted somewhere - there have been dancers that have won their 2 firsts in different years and have competed in prelim still, or are still registered for prelim feis. I'm sure if the rule is noted somewhere, it would save the confusion. (NT) -- NDM, 03:36:57 04/06/18 Fri

That would save confusion. Is there a way to contact IDTANA and ask them to post the minutes from the meeting where they voted to allow dancers to follow the rules of their own region? (NT) -- Then everyone would know, 04:29:04 04/06/18 Fri

I’m sorry, but to take the word of a “very respected TC” without even knowing who they are?? That’s not good enough. -- Dm, 08:03:35 04/06/18 Fri
If you have a concern, I would bring it to your dance teacher. if there's an issue, let them raise it. (NT) -- dm, 08:27:38 04/06/18 Fri
My concern is people spewing things as fact without their being any documentation to back it up -- Dm, 08:42:56 04/06/18 Fri

But Is a rule posted anywhere, beside a syllabus, saying MAR dancers can’t dance in NER with 2 firsts in separate years? Is this a documented rule? (NT) -- Seriously wondering, 09:53:25 04/06/18 Fri

This might help, I looked up NAFC 2015 Dancing Competition Rules -- See Inside, 11:04:50 04/06/18 Fri

So, as I read this, a PC with 2 firsts CANNOT dance as a PC in NE Region.....but who enforces this?? -- Dm, 11:25:56 04/06/18 Fri

Yes, I would agree. Although not sure it is enforced. (NT) -- No horse in the race, Champ mom, 11:37:50 04/06/18 Fri
I guess as it looks too NER dancers CANNOT dance open in MAR with only 2 firsts. But they still do. (NT) -- MAR syllabus says 3, 11:45:43 04/06/18 Fri

But NE dancers CAN dance open in MAR if they dance open in NE before they dance open in MAR -- Dm, 12:00:31 04/06/18 Fri

Except that it was supposedly changed in 2016 and TCs advised though nobrevised rule has been issued. As always, (NT) -- Check with your TC, 14:30:46 04/07/18 Sat

I agree. This was just debated on another board too. If the rule changed, posting it would end the theorizing. (NT) -- Will follow either way but just want to know., 18:42:55 04/10/18 Tue

Seriously! I will never believe a post on voy as fact. It needs to come from the governing body, and until it does, then the last rule posted by the governing body is the law of the land. And that rule was that dancers must follow the rule where the feis takes place. (NT) -- .., 09:07:15 04/19/18 Thu

Date Posted: 14:32:48 04/17/18 Tue

Hello All!

I’d like to introduce CUT, a line of revolutionary, high performance gear that incorporates KILOGEAR’S weighted technology specifically for Irish dancers. The weights are suspended in internal pockets throughout the clothing and our high intensity compression fabrics ensure that movement is kept to a minimum. The addition of only a few pounds has a dramatic effect when distributed throughout the body and is proven to help dancers improve their strength and overall performance.

Dancers require a massive amount of speed and power to properly execute movements and Irish dancing is probably the only sport that has a culture of not training in the exact conditions as they will experience on a competition day. Dancers are required to literally weigh themselves down with a costume that can sometimes weigh up to five pounds for some of the girls, yet no one ever practices under those conditions because the costumes are too expensive and fragile to constantly wear. KILOGEAR CUT is the solution to this very real problem that effects the performance of nearly every dancer worldwide.

Dancers typically have extreme muscle imbalance due to the very nature of Irish dancing, which results in a weak core and lack of upper body strength. KILOGEAR CUT is designed to help address these issues and build the foundations of a more well-rounded athlete. As dancing has evolved to be so dynamic it’s massively important to maintain steady posture and a sense of ease in the upper body. Our weighted tops help restrict arm movement and require dancers to properly engage their back and core while dancing. The weighted leggings force dancers to move quicker and be sharper throughout the dance.

In addition to our gear we are designing an entire exercise and fitness programme that will teach dancers how to properly use the gear and function as a form of cross training in a way that best compliments their already extremely rigorous dancing schedule.

Please check out our website at: https://kilogearcut.com

And follow us on Instagram @KILOGEARCUT for updates!

If you should have any questions email us at: Cut@KiloGear.com

May I please request you take the time to address a main concern on your website? Namely, much research has shown that Irish dance specifically does not utilize the body's athletic ability to absorb shock (ie, landing jumps on toes and straight leg, rocks where significant torsion occurs on joints, etc), and as a result the load on an Irish Dancer's joints and legs are intense. I have always understood that constant addition of weight increases the stress -- medical DM, 09:55:04 04/18/18 Wed

This is such a good point and our main concern with these products as well. Very interested in new training techniques, but we're concerned this will increase the likelihood of injury. (NT) -- Would love to see some research on this!, 10:22:02 04/18/18 Wed

The judges can tell a school by the steps. Not to mention just familiarity with frequent feisers. Even I as a dance mom know a lot of NE kids by sight and my dancer doesn't feis that much. (NT) -- Ridiculous, 05:16:14 04/09/18 Mon

Ridiculous! What message is that sending to your dancer?’ (NT) -- Reelmom, 13:50:27 04/08/18 Sun
It gets in the way when my son dances, and gets wrinkled. So we take off the excess. I don't think that actually gives away his school.... (NT) -- Really? Just making the card fit better and not take up the whole vest, 14:02:36 04/08/18 Sun
U9 daughter cuts because skirt is short and bends her number up (NT) -- cuts number when possible, 14:30:06 04/08/18 Sun
We trim dd's number because clip is low on the skirt; just trim to number so it doesn't overwhelm skirt. No one else in our school does so I don't think it makes a connection for her. (NT) -- to each their own, 14:32:38 04/08/18 Sun

Same. I also slightly round the corners so the pointy edges don't get stuck in a distracting position on the skirt while dancing. Hard to explain but primary reason is that my daughter is petite and the skirt is small. (NT) -- No name, 17:09:52 04/08/18 Sun

Trimming the card is not a bad idea especially if it blocks the design of the skirt. Is it truly an "identifying " factor. I can't imagine it would work as such as anyone can cut their card to any shape. Kind of silly to think it's a "signal" to a judge. But in ID, nothing would surprise me. (NT) -- A mom, 17:50:02 04/08/18 Sun
No conspiracy here- sometimes they are too big, get caught in the panels of dress. (NT) -- Honest reasons, 20:19:46 04/08/18 Sun
You are so upset by someone trimming their card that you need to resort to all caps? It might be time to take a little break from dance if something so minor stresses you out so very much. We trim dd's card because if we don't it tends to curl up which looks sloppy and makes it harder to read. (NT) -- there's no card conspiracy, 16:52:52 04/09/18 Mon
We keep it in the same shape but trim some of the excess because it gets in the way when dancing. Especially for outdoor feises when my daughter wears a leo/skirt, it gets horribly bent. (NT) -- Still readable - nothing cut OFF, 18:31:14 04/10/18 Tue
You people are insane and just starting a war. We cut our number because my daughter is a petite dancer nd the way her skirt is on her dress , the original size number is too big and covers half the skirt. (NT) -- Not an identifying factor... get over it., 08:04:56 04/11/18 Wed

Have never used. Wondering what start time would be for Prelim comp that begins at 8:30 and has two comps w 69 dancers total before my dd’s comp. Thank you.

Stage calculator is easy to use and pretty self evident. You need to figure out the ages of the comps before yours and then click 2 at a time (older than U14) or 2/3 (MORE INSIDE) -- HTH, 02:03:17 04/08/18 Sun

Not directly communicated to us in that manner but more of a "fee" if competing in Majors. So I am sure it includes at least part of the expense - it definitely is more than the entry fees. (NT) -- --, 17:04:57 04/03/18 Tue

Also if they have championship teams does one need to be a very strong solo dancer too? (NT) -- Dance mom, 08:54:43 04/12/18 Thu All team members need to be strong dancers. They do not need to be soloists however that experience and training makes them stronger dancers. Judges score all the dancing, not just the lead dancers. (NT) -- No name, 06:00:21 04/14/18 Sat In looking at the results for the 2017 New England Oir. Girls Ceili results, they placed 1st for teams for each competition: U8, U10, U12, U15, & 15/over. Since your daughter is young, looking at the U8 category there were 2 teams that recalled (1st and 3rd place). So that's 16 dancers U8. They are likely not all at the championship level for solos at that young age. -- Link inside to feisresults, 11:34:54 04/12/18 Thu Thanks for this, current team has team but it includes tc's daughter, 2 nieces & strong solo dancers no space for dd & not enough to make up second team.

(NT) -- let's stick to facts, shall we?, 15:14:59 04/14/18 Sat Harney didn't cheat, just bailed the cheaters out. And before someone tries to put a heroic spin on it, PK dancers were offered the option to transfer with no ban (NT) -- Lost respect for Harney, 17:23:53 04/14/18 Sat So you want to punish the dancers that didn't xfer but still wanted to dance?

(NT) -- Thanks for caring about my dancer, and bless your heart too!, 07:09:32 04/15/18 Sun Consequences for the dancers that had nothing to do with the actions of their teachers????!!! Are you for real????!!!! -- jig mom, 07:31:52 04/15/18 Sun Yes, unfortunately they belonged to an organization whose leaders tried to cheat. Apparently their teachers didn't consider how their actions would impact their own dancers and all the others from other schools that work so hard. When a coach cheats, the team unfortunately pays the price. I don't really see a difference. It is unfair to the kids, but life isn't always fair. (NT) -- JMO, 07:55:23 04/15/18 Sun And by the way, I m not "bashing" kids, HPK dancers are amazing dancers and the dancers I know from school are wonderful kids, I am talking about their teachers.

And the saddest part of all of it is that she's still teaching. Shame on the regionand shame on IDTANA and CLRG for allowing this. (NT) -- have lost all respect for them, 08:34:39 04/21/18 Sat They have always allowed to compete. The two schools merged so the students could compete still from the school in question.

Subject: Personal Training Available for Dancers in Boston Area
Author: Certified PT [ Edit \| View ]	Date Posted: 13:19:46 04/18/18 Wed Hello! I am an NSCA-Certified Personal Trainer and Open Champ level dancer moving to the Boston Area for grad school. I have a degree in Nutritional Sciences and Nutrition for Exercise and Sport. I work with dancers to prevent injury, improve movement mechanics, and build power and speed in ways that translate to better performance in class and onstage. Beginning in May, I am offering one-on-one sessions and small-group training to dancers who are looking to prevent injury and reach their goals. Cross training is hugely important for success in Irish dance, but it is vital that your workouts are effective, safe, and specific to your needs as a dancer. Meeting in person with a trainer is a great way to ensure that your program is tailored to your specific strengths and weaknesses, your questions are answered, and every move is executed with good form. A couple quick notes - I like to see a video from class or have my clients do a full so that I can see what their strengths and weaknesses are, but I do not ever address or practice choreography with dancers, so there are no association issues. No gym membership is necessary - I will work with whatever tools you have available to meet your/your dancer's needs. There are some tools that I encourage dancers to purchase. They are relatively inexpensive, and I can give you a list with exactly where to buy them. I'm willing to travel outside of Boston, as long as the time and distance are reasonable. If you're in MA but a little further out, let me know and we can decide together whether or not the logistics are feasible. Working with athletes is my favorite part of training and I feel so strongly about helping other dancers reach their full potential. Please shoot me an email if you'd like any more info or would like to chat about options for you or your dancer. Thanks! [ Post a Reply to This Message ]

I'm sure if the rule is noted somewhere, it would save the confusion. (NT) -- NDM, 03:36:57 04/06/18 Fri That would save confusion. Is there a way to contact IDTANA and ask them to post the minutes from the meeting where they voted to allow dancers to follow the rules of their own region?

Subject: CUT
Author: KILOGEAR [ Edit \| View ]	Date Posted: 14:32:48 04/17/18 Tue Hello All! I’d like to introduce CUT, a line of revolutionary, high performance gear that incorporates KILOGEAR’S weighted technology specifically for Irish dancers. The weights are suspended in internal pockets throughout the clothing and our high intensity compression fabrics ensure that movement is kept to a minimum. The addition of only a few pounds has a dramatic effect when distributed throughout the body and is proven to help dancers improve their strength and overall performance. Dancers require a massive amount of speed and power to properly execute movements and Irish dancing is probably the only sport that has a culture of not training in the exact conditions as they will experience on a competition day. Dancers are required to literally weigh themselves down with a costume that can sometimes weigh up to five pounds for some of the girls, yet no one ever practices under those conditions because the costumes are too expensive and fragile to constantly wear. KILOGEAR CUT is the solution to this very real problem that effects the performance of nearly every dancer worldwide. Dancers typically have extreme muscle imbalance due to the very nature of Irish dancing, which results in a weak core and lack of upper body strength. KILOGEAR CUT is designed to help address these issues and build the foundations of a more well-rounded athlete. As dancing has evolved to be so dynamic it’s massively important to maintain steady posture and a sense of ease in the upper body. Our weighted tops help restrict arm movement and require dancers to properly engage their back and core while dancing. The weighted leggings force dancers to move quicker and be sharper throughout the dance. In addition to our gear we are designing an entire exercise and fitness programme that will teach dancers how to properly use the gear and function as a form of cross training in a way that best compliments their already extremely rigorous dancing schedule. Please check out our website at: https://kilogearcut.com And follow us on Instagram @KILOGEARCUT for updates! If you should have any questions email us at: Cut@KiloGear.com [ Post a Reply to This Message ]

May I please request you take the time to address a main concern on your website? Namely, much research has shown that Irish dance specifically does not utilize the body's athletic ability to absorb shock (ie, landing jumps on toes and straight leg, rocks where significant torsion occurs on joints, etc), and as a result the load on an Irish Dancer's joints and legs are intense. I have always understood that constant addition of weight increases the stress -- medical DM, 09:55:04 04/18/18 Wed This is such a good point and our main concern with these products as well. Very interested in new training techniques, but we're concerned this will increase the likelihood of injury. (NT) -- Would love to see some research on this!, 10:22:02 04/18/18 Wed
