thanx!

- duh -- oh dear, 10:33:46 11/09/04 Tue
- irish dancing came from ireland, scottish dancing came from scotland and celtic dancing is possibly a celt that needs the toilet...haha (NT) -- chuckle****, 23:37:52 11/09/04 Tue
- listen, i was asking about the way they dance!no one forced you to answer... (NT) -- gillianfan, 03:38:36 11/11/04 Thu
  - Simply, irish dancing has both a ballet-like dance and a tap shoe like dance. There are both dances that you do alone (Solos) and dances you do as a group (ceili). The dancing is athletic, light, controlled and complex. Highland dancing seems to me to have less variation, most of the dancing is very similar from school to school, the variations are in how well you perform those specific steps. You use your arms more. Celtic dancing is what I think of as more folk style, more for fun and entertainment. (NT) -- just my thoughts, 04:52:33 11/17/04 Wed
    - doesn't Scottish dancing have more to do with the history of the Scots, clans, wars, families. it's more than just steps, style and fun but someone out there must know. (NT) -- d, 05:35:08 12/10/04 Fri

Teacing Qualifications -- Maggie, 19:43:07 10/17/04 Sun [4]
Hi, I used to dance years ago, now i have moved to Wales with my husband and 3 children and would like them to do Irish dancing but there are no schools close by. Is it possible for me to now get my teaching qualifications without actually taking part in competitions? I would love to set up a dancing class here.

[Edit]

Replies:
- You will need to provide evidence of the standard you danced to, any Recalls at Majors etc. (like a CV) and really need to be sponsored by another teacher, who can vouch for you, but there's no bar to you actually setting up a dance class in the meantime. you can't enter feis though, not without the teachers cert (TCRG). By the time you get that you might have dancers ready to compete too! (NT) -- full details are on the www.clrg.ie site, 15:52:04 10/18/04 Mon
  - is it really appropriate to encourage people to set up schools without qualifications??????? (NT) -- qualifications are there for a reason!!!!!!!!, 10:38:53 11/09/04 Tue
    - There is a difference in being "qualified" and "certified". All TCRGs were certainly qualified before testing. If they had not been, just testing would not have done it! (NT) -- just mho, 01:29:08 11/28/04 Sun

hi, i am going to start irish dancing and wanted to know do beginners start dancing with soft shoes or hard shoes first? and if i started dancing with soft shoes, how long will it take me to start dancing with hard shoes? thanx!

[Edit]

Replies:
- I start the kids in soft shoes, teach the timing, & technique first. After about a year, they can start hard shoe. It depends on the progress tho... (NT) -- *^*, 19:29:16 05/29/04 Sat
- that seems to be the usual way its done, about a year in softs then move into heavies (NT) -- partly because the youngest don't do heavy in c'ships, 15:54:23 10/18/04 Mon

BEING FAT AND WANTING TO DANCE -- fat girl, 17:16:46 04/27/04 Tue [4]
hi i am a 14 year old girl. i am OBESE. i am 1.50 cm and weigh 75 kg. i tried all sorts of diets but they all failed. PLEASE help me and tell me a good way of how to loose weight. DO NOT TELL ME DIET AND EXCERCISE because i want to kow what exactly is the diet and how much excersice should i do.I AM EMBARRASSED TO TELL MY ANYONE ABOUT MY PROBLEM. I DO NOT WANT TO GO TO A DOCTOR. so, please if you have the description for a good DIET tell me. i do not mind sticking to it for a few months.(possibly5).P.S: I WANT TO LOOSE WEGHT AND BECOME AN IRISH DANCER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Edit]

Replies:
- I don't think anyone will give diet advice to a minor, so I will tell you forget the diets, and use common sense. Eat lots of fruits, veges, fish, chicken, turkey,and drink lots of water, cut the fat carbs, white bread, tortillas, pastries, etc. Eat smaller portions thru the day, don't eat after 6, unless its a healthy snack. You will naturally lose weight if you continue to get some excersise, walk, swim, etc. (NT) -- dancer, 23:58:18 04/27/04 Tue
- Run for up to 45 mins for up to five days a week (NT) -- works, 23:11:38 05/16/04 Sun
- Do you have to lose weight BEFORE becoming a dancer? I have been dancing for 14yrs and recently had to stop for 6 months. I gained some weight (naturally) but found that after going back to dancing, it started to slowly drop off again. In my honest opinion, if you eat right, get more exercise (start with walking) and start going to dance lessons, then I think you will slowly be more happier within yourself. Good Luck!

Rules and regulations -- Interested mom, 09:45:36 02/26/04 Thu [5]
Where can I find out what the current rules and regulations are for dancers? Rules dealing with age, grades, levels, steps, dress, competitions or anything else. Are they ever published by any of the dance organizations? I am sure there is a reason for the rules, so it is not my intention to argue, I would jist like to know. Some TCRG's seem to be better informed, or more interested, that others. Must dancers rely on the TCRG for all information?

Feile Clann na nGael -- Glasgow Dancer ;), 15:00:53 01/10/04 Sat [3]
If you are going to the Clann na nGael Feis on 17th and 18th January in Newcastle, what hotel are you staying in? Is anyone staying in the Newcastle Village Hotel & Leisure Club? I am and I’m just wondering if there will be a lot of dancers there, I hope there will be!
Also, if anyone knows how far this hotel is from the feis, can you please post driving time?

Thanks!

The website for this hotel (gives address, booking information etc) is http://www.uk-hotel-reservations.co.uk/villagehotels/newcastle/village_hotel_newcastle.html

- Sorry had to check the web address you gave as did not know the name, this hotel has changed names 3 times in as many years, used to be a Hilton among other things. This hotel is just off the Coast road, approx 10-15 minutes drive to feis, good news is it is next to some excellent shops & a cinema. (NT) -- Good luck, 18:34:13 01/10/04 Sat
- Thanks! Sounds good for some shopping after I've danced! (NT) -- Op, 12:32:31 01/11/04 Sun

Feis Announcement -- Good Luck Everyone, 17:48:54 01/10/04 Sat [3]
Lisa McEvolgue, Veronica Fagan-Milne & Moira Trainer would like to announce that they will be holding their Open feis in South Shields, Tyne & Wear @ Brinkburn School on Saturday 16th May 2004 (all under 11’s) and Sunday 17th May 2004 (all U12 and above).

Last years feis was a great success, as such this years will be bigger and better, huge trophies, loads of adjudicators (to be confirmed at a later date), great music and of course great friends old and new. As last year there will be plenty of parking in the Community Associations car park, great food in the CA’s bistro area, and great company.

The syllabus when ready will be posted on Voy 86171 site, as will the timetable closer to the event.

Anyone wishing to be added to the mailing list please contact Lisa or Veronica via the teachers handbook. Thank You

Please do not ask anyone to give their name or dancing school. If people are comfortable giving out this information then they will probably do it without being asked.
I hope everyone agrees with my decision.

Thanks.

Feis Tips -- Glasgow Dancer ;), 15:18:35 01/10/04 Sat [2]
I know this weekend and the next will be a lot of dancer's first feis of 2004! There are feisanna on in Newcastle, London and Dublin next weekend, then Mussleburgh the next!
If anyone has any tips, or little bits of advice about feises, then post them in reply to this message!

I'll just say that as long as you know that you've danced your best, don't worry about results! Most of us started Irish Dancing as a hobby and we should keep it that way and not get upset about results!

Replies:
- This is for parents not the dancers: Remember it is all subjective, nothing is objective, no matter what the result as long as your child danced well then be happy, you will see dancers win you feel should not, you will see dancers lose who you may feel should have won, that is the joy of Irish Dancing, as a parent what ever you see or hear take with a large pinch of salt, relax and enjoy the moment. As parents we are not meant to understand why things are as they are, all we can ask is that our children enjoy themselves & make new friends. (NT) -- ID Mum, 17:53:33 01/10/04 Sat

Replies:
- As per message on 86171 - the closing date for this feis was Yesterday! as such the timetable has not been published, the provisional timetable says 12.30pm : U17 & U19 OPEN CHAMPIONSHIP ALTERNATING as clearly written on http://www.instepfm.com/pages/584157/index.htm sorry for sounding ratty but this question has already been asked & answered on 86171, seems a waste of time & space asking again & again on different sites. (NT) -- Again sorry for sounding ratty!, 08:54:49 01/08/04 Thu
  - gees maybe the person doesnt go on 86171, or even if they do more chance of a reply if you post one more than one board- so dont think it is a waste of time for the OP thats what boards are for (NT) -- no harm in asking a question, 10:33:41 01/08/04 Thu
  - i was asking about seniors, the syllabus doesn't specify a time or date for them. that's why i was asking if it was over17 or over 19. you really shouldn't be so short - it's not good for you!!! (NT) -- and the reason I was asking on this board is 'cos someone else might know the answer and it's a cool new board with prompt responses - well done moderator!!!, 13:50:51 01/10/04 Sat

- Tip: If wearing an out of this world dress, please wear clean socks! keep seeing fab dresses worn by fab dancers, except they are wearing dirty or grey socks, just seems a waste of all that effort (NT) -- ID Mum, 19:12:58 12/30/03 Tue
  - Oh I so agree.... I hate seeing grey socks with a gorgeous dress. I buy socks every time we go to a feis just in case, I now have bag fulls of socks for dance class only!!! cos once they been washed a couple of times they tend to go very stiff and grubby looking don't ya think? (NT) -- Mumsy, 16:27:43 12/31/03 Wed
- OOO- know this answer- Look straight OUT! not too up and DEF not down. look confident, and at ease with your dancing. if you have a graceful face your dancing will look more graceful, angry face=angry danceing, sad face=sad dancing. and yes- WHITE SOCKS BLINDING WHITE SOCKS (NT) -- nadia, 02:56:44 12/31/03 Wed
- Do you all agree with the importance that appearence has in dancing? And I DO agree with the white socks! I Buy a new pair for every feis! (NT) -- Glasgow Dancer ;), 16:42:48 12/31/03 Wed
- More bout socks -- ., 21:59:04 12/31/03 Wed
- THe thing about looking good- every little bit counts! if you dance twice, exactly the same, once with white socks and once with grubby socks, the white socks will win. It gives an overall better impression. Seriously, looking confident and professional and prepared! very important!
