Subject: Transfer Rule

Transfer Rule 1981:
1. Where a pupil formerly the pupil of a registered teacher, joins the class of another registered teacher, the new teacher must not enter that pupil in any registered competition until six calendar months following the date on which notification of pupil joining the new class is received in writing by the Regional Council or other appropriate authority unless the pupil is allowed to compete by reason of Rules 2 & 3 below.
2. A pupil should not be withheld from competition where the change of teacher occurs because of
a) death of a former teacher
b) retirement of former teacher
c) failure of former teacher to re-register with An Coimisiun
d) significant change of place of normal residence of the pupil
e) closure of the teacher's class normally attended by the pupil and where that teacher has not another class within a reasonable distance of the pupil's home
f) any other circumstance in which the Council or other appropriate authority considers it would be unfair or contrary to natural justice to insist that the pupil be withheld from competition.
3. A pupil should not be withheld from competition on joining a new class where a period of at least one year has elapsed between the date on which he or she last attended the class of his former registered teacher or took part in registered competitions and the date he or she joined the class of the new teacher unless the dancer one to whom Rule 4 refers.
4. Where a pupil leaves the class of a registered teacher, joins the class of an Irish dancing teacher not registered with An Coimisiun, and later returns to either his or her former teacher or joins the class of another registered teacher, that pupil must not be entered in any registered competition until six calendar months have elapsed following the date of receipt by the Regional Council or appropriate authority of notification in writing of the return to a registered teacher unless the dancer concerned qualifies for exception under the terms of Rule 2 above.
5. In every case it is the Council or appropriate authority in a Region that will decide whether a pupil will or will not be obliged to refrain from competitions on change of teacher i.e. whether or not any of the exceptions provided for in these Rules applied in any particular case. Even where it is fairly clear that a pupil received on transfer qualifies for exception he or she must not be registered for a registered competition until it is confirmed by the Council or other appropriate authority that it is in order to do so.
6. Irrespective of anything contained in these Rules, a Council or other appropriate authority shall at its sole discretion be free to dispense with the stipulated period of refrainment from competition, or to reduce that period, in any case where, for any reason, failure to notify the Council or other appropriate authority of a transfer.

Re-stated Jan 2005:
1. Where a dancer is required to leave a dancing school by the teacher, for any reason, that dancer will serve the six months re-styling period with a new registered teacher unless the dancer is already out of dancing for a year.
