In my ds's group, there are several top placers from our region that aren't listed. I know a few of them went to worlds, but surprised that they're not doing Nans. We went to Nashville last year (solos + teams), not going this year. Time, money, and his ceili team wasn't all able to go. (NT) -- mom of ds/dd, 10:35:19 06/13/09 Sat
- I know of at least 5 top placers overseas in the older groups that are listed but not going (NT) -- some are graduating this year, 14:26:59 06/13/09 Sat

Are kilts coming back in style? -- one of these days, 15:25:44 06/05/09 Fri [10]
Probably would be back if not for the negative impact of that song "The Scottsmans" eh?

Certainly kilts would give the judges a better look at what the knees ( and how crossed over or not ) and lower feet are doing.

Good luck all!

Do guys wear them much in competitions anymore? I remember in the lower levels I'd see a few. It would be nice if they made a comeback as they seem so traditional. (NT) -- kilt fan, 09:22:50 06/06/09 Sat
My ds would rather wear a simple kilt than some of the bling-y shirts/vests that some gents wear. He's in PC and only wears a solid shirt and black vest/tie. Will not touch anything shiny or with a rhinestone. (NT) -- Yea for kilts!, 10:44:37 06/09/09 Tue
- Without all the bling how does he do? Does all the glitz & glitter really matter or affect his (NT) -- results?, 14:34:17 06/09/09 Tue
  - DS has danced very plainly dressed, now has a minimal amount of bling. Results not changed. I'd rather he'd do it... (NT) -- ...his way, 04:34:23 06/10/09 Wed
    - Glad to hear it they're looking at the dancing. (NT) -- x, 06:14:51 06/10/09 Wed
      - I think personally that the most important thing for boths boys and girls is to look "put together" -- Irishmama, 04:16:42 06/11/09 Thu
        
        I would agree. Well fitting dresses, or pants/vests/shirts, good quality, neat. Ask yourself - does this dancer LOOK like a winner? Just like an interview - 1st impressions are not everything, but they can be very important (inside) -- Human nature, 08:11:01 06/11/09 Thu
- My son will wear a kilt and I have been looking for a simple one. Can you tell me where you got yours? (NT) -- TIA, 10:56:45 06/12/09 Fri
  - He doesn't wear a kilt now, but wasn't at all opposed when I picked out a "utili-kilt" at a local Irish fair for him to try. We didn't get it, but I know he'd wear a nice solid color one to compete in. If anyone knows of a good place to get one, let us know. (NT) -- Yea for kilts mom, 10:39:28 06/13/09 Sat
