Where do these people who run these organisations come from? Are they ex coimisiun or comdhail or do they have any history with any dance organisation? -- mm, 13:58:35 09/03/04 Fri [1]

I couldn't figure out who asked the question so I apologize for not including a name....but as I understand the rudiments of this CLRG or The Commission was formed by Irish Dancing Teachers in the 1920's in Ireland who did not wish to be lumped into sports in the Gaelic League and wanted to make their own rules. In 1968 An Cohdhmail ( forgive the spelling not sure here ..)The Congress of Irish Dancing Teachers was formed by people from CLRG who were unhappy with the direction it was taking at that time. CRN was founded in 1981 by members of both of those organizations who wanted to go back to a more traditional direction in Irish Dancing. All three of these organizations are very reputable and have positive and negative points. If you are from the USA it may seem like we are just starting to hear about these groups because...we are. For more info on CRN (the group I am affiliated with) go to www.crn.ie (Ireland) or www.crn-usa.org (USA) Hope this helps!

[> Dont know when CRG started but I know that De Mheasa is a breakaway from that group. Festival has been going a long time but mainly in Ulster and CAID is a newer body formed I think from the remnants of CARG with newer ones joining all the time. -- Rose, 01:23:40 09/08/04 Wed [1]
