Subject: We've heard similar complaints at every level of competition about my DS and other boys. It's always variations on a theme - boys have it easy. I would have more sympathy if there was some material reward for an "easier" path to success. But it's Irish dance! They get *trophies* for winning the Worlds, not multi-million dollar signing bonuses. The well-adjusted kids (and parents) are obviously in it for the fun and dancing, not fame and fortune.
In reply to: MW Mom 's message, "There's a nasty posting on the MW Board about the boys having it easy for worlds qualifications. Such a bummer. I really think the boys in my ds' competition are fabulous and competition is fierce. Zero margin for error in a small competition. Glad to have found this board!" on 09:31:24 12/02/08 Tue

[> [> [> Yeah Geoff! A wonderfully soothing voice of reason. My son always refers to ID as a hobby and enjoys it tremendously. No university scouts/ talent agents are watching from the stands. In the great scheme of life, meet new people and friends, travel and enjoy your time dancing. -- -, 17:49:20 12/04/08 Thu [1]
