Author: Been involved in dancing for years and never seen such a ridiculous standard qualify. No wonder it’s the talk on the main board. U11 is shocking.
Subject: No, i have someone in the younger age groups which are strong and do have talent imo. U8 and younger.
In reply to: Greer 's message, "Presumably you had someone dancing in said “terrible standard” of competition, wonder how she feels with either her mother’s or teacher’s comments! What was terrible was girls who never sit in top 5/6 all year suddenly up there taking qualifying spots away from others. The whole weekend was clearly 3 schools falling over each other to get their favours in!!" on 09:40:37 11/18/25 Tue

Sounds like this one is a teacher if stating has kids in U8 and younger (looking at results there isn’t kids from the same family spread across those age groups)….thank goodness our children don’t dance for your school with your negative comments about the standard in other age groups and you are right it’s in your opinion and definitely not unanimously agreed that’s for sure. Some of those under 11’s hold their own up and down the UK. (NT) -- Claire, 13:46:23 11/18/25 Tue
- Well it is. The standard in some age groups from U11 upwards is shocking and these kids shouldnt be near a world stage when there are dancers in other regions that deserve it. (NT) -- Don’t know what you mean about families being spread over, you have no idea what dance school I’m from whatever you may think., 20:13:42 11/18/25 Tue
  - So you claim to have been in the irish dancing world for years…. Yet you don’t realise that Scottish qualifiers can’t give their qualifying spaces to other regions so what you harping on about “dancers in other regions” fool think we all know who this is! ! 🤣🤣 (NT) -- JMC, 00:56:34 11/19/25 Wed
  - So you are now concerned about dancers from other regions, how gallant of you showing concern for some of the cheats that have helped you through the years. It is people like you that are responsible for the toxicity that engulfs this region. Instead of supporting young dancers you feel the need to denigrate them for your own poisonous agenda. (NT) -- Morrigan, 14:16:43 11/19/25 Wed
    - Yes because it’s meant to be the world’s best dancers. Instead we have girls qualifying who are shocking and actually won’t even go to Chicago. (NT) -- But dancers who could do well from other regions at the WC can’t even go., 16:05:39 11/19/25 Wed
      - How do you know who will or will not go to Chicago? Maybe if those dancers danced for a CLRG school in Alba they would have an argument but they do not so that's the way the cookie crumbles. So should Ireland or Scotland not be afforded a chance to play in the World Cup Finals because the likes of Russia cannot qualify. Why would a child at your school compete in a feis if they have no chance to win. (NT) -- Morrigan, 16:24:59 11/19/25 Wed
      - sounds like she doesn’t support dancers unless they are world champion standard in her eyes… probably only has a few kids competiting that she presumes is good enough … crack pot! Good Luck to ALL the Scottish dancers that go to the world championships in Chicago, watch out for this toxic one judging you! (NT) -- Tosh, 23:56:05 11/19/25 Wed
Green eyed monster strikes again. -- Observer, 14:50:40 11/18/25 Tue
- and yet your dancer failed to qualify, says a lot for your super school (NT) -- . (:}), 14:54:04 11/18/25 Tue
  - Whose dancer? Mine is too young but older dancers did qualify and deserve it. (NT) -- It’s not my fault the standard is so bad in some age groups. You’re blinkered if you can’t see that., 20:15:47 11/18/25 Tue
