• Marriott is very central & walking distance to venue. Glasgow has great restaurants . Try 5pm.com & trip advisor . (NT) -- Mum, 17:10:13 12/08/15 Tue
  • Thank you. So does that mean that we can stay at any hotel and there is no block that we are required to stay in? (NT) -- Mom, 03:04:37 12/09/15 Wed
• I'm not sure. I don't think it's been announced yet (NT) -- Mum, 10:54:22 12/09/15 Wed
• Welcome to Scotland! (more inside) -- ., 11:49:41 12/09/15 Wed
  • Thank you so very much. This is going to be a once in a life time experience for all of us! My husband booked at a Marriott, but he said it's about a mile away. Not sure if that is the one you are referring to (I don't relish walking one mile with all the gear on the day she dances. 😉). -- Mom, 13:04:23 12/09/15 Wed
    • We attended All Scots this past february for the first time, too. It is one of the nicest cities, IMO. we were slightly under a mile away but I strongly recommend hiring a taxi the morning she dances. Less hassle! You wikll find a ton of eateries from chains to small acfes and everything in between - Glasgow is very walkable and the people are super friendly. (NT) -- Have a great time!!, 21:42:51 12/21/15 Mon
      • Thank you so much! DD is very excited. Please forgive me asking this, but she and I were discussing the trip and I said we'd have to splurge on a shirt or something as a memory and she said she thought she'd get a patch. I said I wasn't sure if they gave out patches. She said they must because it's a National competition...lol. Anyone care to share light on our discussion? (NT) -- OP, 21:00:33 12/22/15 Tue
• It's about a 20-30 min walk, but only a £5 apron in a taxi. defo taxi day of dancing but walk rest of time! u might even c others u can share a cab with! (NT) -- place will be awash with curly wigs, 17:55:53 12/09/15 Wed
  • Thank you so much. The information is much appreciated! (NT) -- Mom, 13:55:14 12/10/15 Thu
• Sorry, but I don't think it is really a walking distance, you can't just pop back and forth, it's all very main busy roads, with lots of pedestrians also. (NT) -- If you don't the city, its not a very nice walk. Loads of hotels much closer. Try the Millenium or Carlton George for something 'fancy' but Travelodge, Premier Inn, right beside venue and are great value, 12:48:13 12/11/15 Fri
• Stayed in Premier Inn for All Scots last year - Great choice, 30 seconds from venue (NT) -- Dancer, 22:14:41 12/11/15 Fri
• I have another question and forgive me if it seems obvious, but do the gents and girls compete together or just on the same day? I was looking at the schedule and I saw that they are the same day (and it looks like together to me),but the syllabus has them listed separate. Again, I apologize if this seems a ridiculous question, but we've never done AS or any other OS comp so I'm completely clueless as to how things work OS! (NT) -- Thank you so much. OP, 13:15:40 12/15/15 Tue
  • It depends on the age group (NT) -- If it says mixed then it is boys and girls together, 13:37:59 12/15/15 Tue
    • It says Men's and Ladies (2 rounds) on the schedule. And on the syllabus it has them listed separate but that could be because the men don't dance the SJ. This would be Ladies U18 (NT) -- Thank you., 15:07:10 12/15/15 Tue
      • Usually just mean's that they will alternate rounds, boys will probably dance first round then girls first round, then the same for 2nd round and recall. (NT) -- Mum, 16:48:38 12/15/15 Tue
        • Thank you do much for clarifying! (NT) -- Mom, 17:43:50 12/17/15 Thu
          • look for hotels in theatreland or near central station (NT) -- express by holiday inn seconds from venue, 23:03:32 12/22/15 Tue
            • Thank you for your suggestion! (NT) -- OP, 22:15:54 12/29/15 Tue
• I have two more questions: Please forgive me asking this, but she and I were discussing the trip and I said we'd have to splurge on a shirt or something as a memory and she said she thought she'd get a patch. I said I wasn't sure if they gave out patches. She said they must because it's a National competition...lol. Anyone care to share light on our discussion? The other question I have is where do I find information about getting her a spray tan. (NT) -- Thank you once again. OP, 15:57:18 01/02/16 Sat
  • Patches aren't given out in UK. Usually the dancers get a certificate. I think they've got a souvenir pin or something before (NT) -- Shirts etc are always for sale, 13:37:25 01/06/16 Wed
    • My dancer has had a patch from All Scotland's every year since it moved to the Royal Concert Hall (NT) -- The sweatshirts are also always good value for money, 14:27:38 01/06/16 Wed
      • My dancer must have missed out then. She's never been given one. Unless you can buy them. (NT) -- Danced All Scots for years, 15:57:07 01/06/16 Wed
        • I've just gone to double check in case I was thinking of something else but she definitely has numerous all scots patches (NT) -- Hopefully they'll also get them this year, 19:10:59 01/06/16 Wed
  • As of right now they haven't got a spray tan vendor - but there are many spray tan salons in Glasgow so it's easy enough to find a spot! (NT) -- Have fun!, 18:47:56 01/07/16 Thu
  • Thank you! We are definitely going to get a shirt or sweatshirt or something. This is a once in a lifetime experience for all of us and we have to get something! If she gets a patch or certificate or something else, all the better!! (NT) -- OP, 21:04:42 01/07/16 Thu
    • I don't know if the vendor will be different this year but Last year the zip up sweatshirts were fab, one of my dd's favorites. (I think they were connected to Ciara Sexton?) (NT) -- Looking forward!, 14:35:08 01/08/16 Fri
      • If you look at instepfm.com, the various styles they will be showing for All Scots sweatshirts etc. are on there at the bottom of the creen. Nice styles and different from last year!m (NT) -- OC mom, 18:32:13 01/10/16 Sun

• Try http://slanjkilts.com their kilts start at around £300. A full kilt outfit would be around £800. You can also type 'Kilt makers Glasgow' into Google for more options. (NT) -- Slanj is in Glasgow city centre, 19:02:49 12/03/15 Thu
• Just be careful of weight restrictions on your return. kilts weigh a lot. (NT) -- Wouldn't want you getting caught out at airport and charged a fortune., 07:42:18 12/10/15 Thu
  • Check to see if the store will ship it home. Many do - shipped a bunch of things home from a woollen market in Killarney for free - it almost arrived home before I did! (NT) -- mom, 14:40:34 12/29/15 Tue

• How can there be a facility fee? The dancing is not onsite. If they start this I will be contacting Glasgow City Council as they give CLRG funding to stage it. (NT) -- Won't be leaving it there either, Trading Standards will be getting involved. Facility Fees in Glasgow.....SCAM, 23:06:35 09/17/15 Thu
• The America nationals do it too (NT) -- No difference, 12:14:05 09/18/15 Fri
  • Yes there is. Totally different trading laws in each country. I'm telling you once Hotels in Glasgow find about it, I reckon they could take CLRG to court. (NT) -- Glasgow City Council could also withdraw funding., 17:01:29 09/18/15 Fri

• DM, we attended this year and had a great time. The people of Glasgow could not have been friendlier. We stayed in the Radisson Park Inn, walking distance from the venue. There are closer hotels though, like the Holiday Inn Express and the Premier Inn. A listing of hotels and the price will come out in plenty of time. -- mom of OC, 20:39:51 09/14/15 Mon

  • Would just like her to get the same attention as the other kid and not to be left out. Even at a feis teachers gets other kid ready and warmed up and my dd left and they never watch her but make a great point to stand watching the others. Am just want feedback and to help her get better. (NT) -- Dancemum, 00:09:18 08/01/15 Sat
    • This is quite a common problem in Irish Dancing, particularly in the Scottish Region, however I thought with more schools opening, and parents not putting up with the BS anymore, this practice would be on the dwindle. (NT) -- If TCs don't think you are committed as a parent, and treat only as a 'hobby' I can see their point in giving more time to kids that take it seriously, however if you and your dd wish to take it seriously, just move schools, believe me at this current time, some schools are desperate for dancers., 22:26:21 08/01/15 Sat
      • No my dd and I do that it very seriously, at every class and go to every feis nearly every weekend. Always at fund raisers, shows etc. always working on steps. And as for the other kids at class she is betting them at feises. I want her to keep improving and being pushed. In the further she wants to do shows and do her teachers. (NT) -- Dancemum, 23:30:34 08/01/15 Sat
        • Well my advice is, move. BUT....make sure you get results to annoy your old TC. No point moving if they can't improve you. If a new TC can't get better results, your child just doesn't have it. (NT) -- Plenty of recent transfers have done amazing, I think the antics and the behaviour of the old TCs speaks volumes. Move on with class, enjoy your dancing, and don't feel guilty, you pay them the money remember., 00:49:29 08/02/15 Sun
          • Would you recommend any school? -- Dancemum, 08:15:11 08/02/15 Sun
            • Where you should go depends on so many factors. How old is your dancer? What level? Are you willing to travel? Personally I wouldn't go to a school with a champ in the same age group. There are so many good schools in Scotland to choose from and thankfully some very good newer schools popping up in results. (NT) -- Good luck, 09:48:34 08/02/15 Sun
              • Agree, you would have to give more information to pinpoint a certain school out, also a lot of people like myself have been involved in ID for years, so personally I would avoid certain teachers like the plague, for various reasons. (NT) -- But you might get on fine with them, look at all the transfers recently, it will tell you loads about who to avoid., 11:56:15 08/02/15 Sun
                • Dd is in open and is in top 5 at every feis here or away. Dd is a WQ. Don't want to say age group just in case TCs see. Willing to travel any where for the right school. Over the last year or so there has been lost of dancers that's left and only a few that have join. In my option the very good dancing in the class are starting to fall, not getting same results what they were getting last year. It's such a hard decision don't want to be in the same situation again but when talking to the new TCs I will be telling them what I want and see if they can give it. Don't see why you shouldn't be able to talk to TCs straight (without be cheeky) without all the hidden msgs. I was looking at Caroline Green, Sharon Taylor, Stewart or Coyle all very different class. Anyone any insist (or option) to any these schools? (NT) -- Dancemum, 15:23:42 08/02/15 Sun
                  • I would go for one of the newer schools (NT) -- There are a few to choose from, 18:44:13 08/02/15 Sun
                    • Stewart do teams, which is a great thing for kids to get involved in, and seem nice, genuine people, with up and coming dancers. CG has really pulled a few top dancers out the bg recently, she seems able to play and keep up with the big guns. (NT) -- ST another good school, very passionate. Coyle very new, haven't seen much although the Mother knows ID in and out, would say if your child has potential they would be able to get her to the top, look at SC, that was not MCL's work, that was her Mother., 20:17:58 08/02/15 Sun
                      • Another piece of advice, I wouldn't go in all guns blazing to a new TC demanding this and that. Also don't slate your old school willy nilly to the gossiping mothers in new school either, no matter if you want to fit in or not, believe me, they just want the gossip. (NT) -- Give a new school a try, nothing to lose, people move schools every week, your old TC will probably draw you daggers across feis hall, just wave and smile to them., 20:32:44 08/02/15 Sun
                        • Sharon Taylor and Caroline Greene would be the most obvious choices. Stewart school had some good results at the BN's then there's the Osborne's who also do very well. (NT) -- I'm sure with Suzanne and her mother teaching, Coyle will be a great school and as above poster says if your child has potential I'm sure they could get her to the top. Another new school who seem to be getting good results is Sarah Frances Smith so you have plenty to choose from., 20:56:57 08/02/15 Sun
                          • Thanks to everyone that has got back to me very usually information. Will need to sit with my dd and have a serious think where to go seem a lot of great school out there just need to make that hard choose what one. (NT) -- Dancemum, 22:07:55 08/02/15 Sun
• Are you looking at moving just now and not go to qualifiers. (NT) -- Big decision especially when its on home soil this year, 09:05:53 08/03/15 Mon

    • Sorry I don't think this is a real situation. Somebody is at it. A world qualifier who is always in top 5 wherever they go and they feis all the time. Mmmmmm...think this is a child messing about. (NT) -- DM, 11:07:11 08/03/15 Mon
    • It's August and your talking about moving after the worlds. If your daughter wins qualifying are you still going to move. ? (NT) -- Curious, 14:08:24 08/07/15 Fri
• I agree this is bogus! Someone is probably posting as both the person asking the questions and answering them! Totally trying to big up a certain school without it seemingly being obvious. So transparent!! (NT) -- Seen it all before, 12:25:35 08/03/15 Mon
  • What school? Don't think it's that. Think it's more a child trying to get the board to erupt into a slagging match. (NT) -- DM, 12:59:10 08/03/15 Mon
    • Aw the poor TCs that hven't got a mention are on accusing others of self promotion. The board didn't erupt, you want it to now though. (NT) -- I answered questions, not them all, so can guarantee you it is not same poster. Suck it up., 14:05:25 08/03/15 Mon
      • Ok then. I'm not a TCRG but I still think it's a wind up and child. (NT) -- DM, 16:33:05 08/03/15 Mon
        • 'Totally trying to big up a certain school' - you sound like a child. (NT) -- ., 18:24:11 08/03/15 Mon
          • What school (NT) -- ., 18:55:31 08/03/15 Mon
            • God knows, above posters have given fair advice on dance schools, then this person has come on with a chip on her shoulder because her dance school has clearly not been mentioned. (NT) -- Better ask her what school she is getting her knickers in a twist about., 19:16:41 08/03/15 Mon
              • I am quite sure if the poster was genuine and that her Dd is always top 5 and a world qualifier she would be in the know of all the dance school's within her region. (NT) -- dm, 13:40:13 08/04/15 Tue
                • Maybe she wants the advice of others. (NT) -- Anyway, genuine or not, who cares? Chill., 13:42:04 08/04/15 Tue
• Possibly just looking for advise as stated, moving is hard but you have to be sure when moving. Most recent transfers have been succesful and there are still others to return. (NT) -- Got a feeling on age group and a possible hunch., 15:42:07 08/04/15 Tue
  • Agree, its not hard to work out what school they are talking about either. People move all the time, with the amount of money you spend, if you are not happy, why put up with it? (NT) -- You are paying for a service remember, you are not getting it for free., 16:54:34 08/04/15 Tue
• A few of these schools have opened and shut like ST and Coyle and others. Happens quite a lot in this region and that is only the ones I know. So maybe be best going some where like McL that doesn't shut (NT) -- Just a thought, 10:41:52 08/06/15 Thu
  • Why does that happen? Do they think they are running the local Spar?? (NT) -- ??, 11:32:31 08/06/15 Thu

      • What I heard was she only moved cause her placement drop and the worlds (NT) -- Be good to see in the next few months! But not forgetting how many that have leaved over the last year or so can't be doing that great, 14:18:52 08/06/15 Thu
        • Some transfers do really well. However, transferring all the time must be hard. Why would you not be happy with a world medal? They are hard to get. (NT) -- DM, 14:21:27 08/06/15 Thu
          • Ambitious dancers want to improve year on year, and maybe there was the other reasons everyone else left also. (NT) -- Fab dancer anyway, hope she continues to do well, and the sly witches on this board don't start their vitriole. Leave it out., 14:53:24 08/06/15 Thu
        • dont think it was just her placement but we will run with that for now. (NT) -- dm, 09:06:46 08/07/15 Fri

        • Just one of the many nuts that smile with their lavvies at local feis. They smile but the look deranged. (NT) -- They need to be loved by the big guns.

  • Advance is a military strategy commonly recognised. (NT) -- To move against another, as when attacking: advance on the enemy's position. ADVANCE is shouted by the glorious leader and we follow., 14:16:22 08/07/15 Fri

• Hear hear. If it wasn't so disgusting it would be funny. Robbing children of titles, podium places and qualifying places. (NT) -- Disgusted., 23:48:38 07/24/15 Fri
• I thought U12 was bad, the placing I mean, then sat today and watched as so many of these dancers are recalled etc, winning trad sets and now this to top it all off. (NT) -- Absolutely disgusted. I was actually in a state of shock. That is twice the same school being robbed in two days. One of a winners place, other of a podium place. How can this actually happen??, 23:55:44 07/24/15 Fri

  • It wasn't a criticism, I just meant that numbers wise they should have been separated. Only ten children out of almost 30 placed in U14 which was a bit unfair (NT) -- Perhaps if they had been separated all children would have been placed.

• I can think of a few that have cam eon since transferring to the school that produced the champs this year being fair. (NT) -- But I do agree with you, why teacher take it to heart and hold these grudges and seek attention is so, very, very sad. Very, very sad. SAD., 18:08:55 04/16/15 Thu
• To be fair to them don't think they make all that much money and most give a lot of time to make dancers good and give extras. So guess they would take it personally and maybe hold grudges a bit (NT) -- Don't think tCs are all bad people, 18:42:03 04/16/15 Thu

    • Exactly, I always knew they were sneaky, vile and two faced. That post proved it. (NT) -- All their comments on that pathetic facebook summed it up aswell. So sad that they feel they have to live their life in that way. No positivity at all, just negativity and jealousy of each other, but smiling all the time. Devil smiles., 21:26:49 04/17/15 Fri

We used to have a group of us who where 13-15 and 1 or 2 parents would take a group of 4 to 6 dancers and then another 2 parents would take their turn and so on.
