Yes, we all need to experience the feeling of dancing on a worlds stage when it's here in the U.S. because many will never get the opp again! It's so easy to say people should just go overseas for the experience and not expect anything, why should having worlds in the U.S. change that? -- Western U.S. Region Irish Dancers

In reply to: make rules to keep it that way 's message, "Do we really need every team in the US going, just because it's here? The Worlds should be a special level of acheivement for the top teams to compete against each other, not just another feis that anyone can attend if they can afford it. Don't diminish the event with 100s of teams that end up in ties & diluting the points. This is more prestigious than the O's & NANs." on 10:35:25 05/09/08 Fri

Beacause it is very emabarassing to watch dancers who arnt at that level performing with dancers who are , if tc has any sense they will only let top teams go (NT) -- dont go for experience, 11:45:59 05/09/08 Fri
- Embarassing to watch? How? (NT) -- interesting, 11:48:39 05/09/08 Fri
- For all the years I've been in ID, all's I've heard is "GO FOR THE EXPERIENCE". You're contradicting yourself here! We can afford to attend worlds in the U.S. C'mon, let's all be a part of the history! First time in the states? (NT) -- don't change your story now!, 11:49:08 05/09/08 Fri
  - Go to the AIs for the experience, but go to the Worlds because you qualify. If you qualify as a soloist, by all means go. But put some rules around the teams. Ceili's at the Worlds have a recall & dance another round. How many days do you want the event to be if every region sent 100 ceilis in every age group because they all danced at their O's. If everyone went, what would make it different from NANs? (NT) -- ??, 12:29:51 05/09/08 Fri
    - Many would say Nan's is just like the worlds. (NT) -- just sayin', 13:35:14 05/09/08 Fri
