How does your dancer feel about competing when many of their top competitors are missing? My dancer is now not wanting to go to a feis unless they think all the 'big names' will attend because she does not consider it worthwhile! I like to go just for the practice. Does anyone else meet with resistance about this situation? Last weekend was a good example of certain comps being devoid (not all) of many great championship dancers. -- For the love of the dance

[> Good on her! And she is saving you money!! I know of world champ in our region who literally only goes to a few feises coming up to worlds and a couple of majors a year. I suppose there are some dancers that feel their time is better spent in lesson than feis and vice versa as there are a lot of top dancers that seem to feis every weekend. Personally, I like an easy ride for my kids which I know is wrong but then they are not at top level. It must be great to be at such a level when it isn't the winning that matters but the competing itself! -- storm, Thu, Mar 15 2007, 12:49:23 [1]
