| Subject: Whether you know it or not, your issue lies with your TC. As a TC, I've felt very informed about what was going on, and have been realistic and transparent with my dancers as this process played out. As a professional organisation for Irish dance TEACHERS, the board has no obligation to communicate with you directly. | |

] Date Posted: 12:03:59 10/14/20 Wed In reply to: DM 's message, "Here's why I am frustrated with out Region (Inside)" on 08:42:30 10/13/20 Tue It has always been the way in Irish dance that the regions/countries/CLRG communicate with their members, who are professionals, and then leave it to them to determine how best to inform their dance families. Every school and family group is different. For example, in my school, kids had assumed Oireachtas wasn't going to happen for months now... Just because--look at the world. So whilst this was disappointing on some level, it was the expected reality of our situation. To say this regional board didn't do enough to try to make the Oireachtas happen is absolutely absurd, and unless you have all the information that we have as teachers, you cannot comment on it. Again, this goes back to your own teacher. On the call when this was announced, even the SMALL handful of dissenting teachers were eventually satisfied that at the very least, the board had exhausted all options for making an Oireachtas happen. I know you're not getting full information from your teacher because several of your points were very clearly discussed during the call. The PsyD that was consulted is a respected member of the region. One of the venues that was extensively reviewed by committee was in NH, etc... No one WANTED to cancel the Oireachtas. People were willing to put in the work. Plenty of people stepped up to work, and help, and try to make something happen. After extensive work on the matter, this is still the conclusion that was arrived at. So please, revisit this with your TC because I don't feel the board is in the wrong here. Another teacher on the call is also a member of multiple regions, and they felt that New England had actually put the MOST work in on this so far, and the reason other regions hadn't canceled, is they hadn't waded deep enough into reality yet. Also, just as an aside, given all the hoops we'd have had to jump through to hold an Oireachtas this year, do you really think it would have turned out as any sort of event you'd even WANT to attend? I feel like when people are pining for a 2020 Oireachtas, they're picturing screaming for their classmates and favourite dance celebrities against a ballroom wall, or lobby parties into the wee hours of the morning... That was never going to be it. This was going to have be a sterile, non-celebratory, pain in the ass of an event that frankly I wouldn't have wanted to be a part of anyway...

Date Posted: 12:12:06 10/14/20 Wed “The way it’s always been...” “Would have been a pain in the ass event I wouldn’t have wanted to be a part of anyway.” I’ll just leave that here. PS—I love and respect our TC. Communicates in a very open and honest way. [ Post a Reply to This Message ] |

| [> [> Subject: Thank you, TC, for this thoughtful response. I don't think the whiny and entitled "DM" deserved the time you put into this response, but many of us are very grateful. Our TC, much like you, kept us well-informed, and our expectations realistic, throughout the process. | |
