[> personally now that competitive irish dancing is practiced worldwide, I think the worlds should be shared right round the world... they can do it for other sports ( just had swimming worlds in Melbourne) so why not for dance? ....I know that alot of Australian dancers sure would appreciate it being 'downunder' every so often too. Certainly is a valuable discussion that might actually be worth discussing. I am interested to see what the opinions of others would be. Fors, Againsts, Undecided, Concerns... this is what discussion is all about. -- Lee in Darwin - already geographically challenged..lol, Fri, Apr 13 2007, 3:19:18 [1]

[> overall I think it's a great idea, this may have been said before but as each country already has it own very big comp, ie: nans, all irelands, GBs, ect it makes sense that the 'Worlds' are hosted by different countries in turn. Possible big plus for uk/ire families is new open skies policy that allows airlines to run budget flights on transatlantic runs.Australians, Americans do all the running across the globe up to now so I dont think it's too much to ask that we occassionally take a trip and play in their backyard. It will give those that can go a great chance to see dancers they may never see otherwise as well. -- wishwillow, Fri, Apr 13 2007, 13:53:19 [1]

[> and of course then you can see another country instead of just hearing about it and looking at photos.... great learnign experience for the whole family....love to travel - its just that sometimes I don't want a 20 hour flight to get there...lol... bring on rotation, it works for most national comps... -- Lee in Darwin, Sat, Apr 14 2007, 7:57:34 [1]

[> Traditionally the Worlds were always held in Ireland, the home of irish dancing. After CLRG agreed to let it go to Glasgow in 2202, this really opened the championships up to the rest of the world. If they can allow it to go outwith Ireland to one country, then they have no reason against not allowing it to go to other countries where ID is practised. I for one couldn't afford to go when it goes to USA however I believe it is a World event and should therefore be allowed all over the World. Why should dancers from the same countries have to fork out every year for flights/hotels etc? Might put it out of our reach, but it will put it within reach of many local dancers who are unable to travel to UK. Good luck to them and enjoy the experience. -- old_dancemum, Sat, Apr 14 2007, 22:02:58 [1]
