The organisations are all basically the same and all have their own political issues. An Coimisiun (CLRG) are by far the largest (hence most complaints are about them) Most dancers start with them and after taking the TCRG join them. You cannot be a member of two but some allow cross organisation feis. CLRG don't. If your TC is qualified they will already be a member of a federation. If not they'll need to take the exam before you can join -- For the love of the dance

In reply to: Lee in Darwin 's message, "Can anyone enlighten me as to 1) who all the Irish Dance Associations are (eg An Commision, AAIDT etc etc ).. 2) what are their differences, pros & cons? .. If your school is a member of one association and not another, do you know why the TC chose them over the another organisation? Can you be a member of more than one organisation? I really don't know much about who is who and what is what, but before our school commits to one or another of these associations I want to know that they can offer us the best support for our situation...we are remote from the rest of Austalia, and that makes us very remote indeed especially from the rest of the irish dance world. So I would love to hear your experiences and opinions on who is the best organisation and WHY or WHY NOT. You can email me privately if you prefer." on Fri, Mar 02 2007, 1:29:08
