Re: WRO results -- ., 13:29:33 11/22/11 Tue If these dancers have been out of competition for 5 years, it's completely legal, correct? -- Dncr, 19:23:22 11/22/11 Tue Legal, yes, but... -- x, 21:02:20 11/22/11 Tue Very interesting. This happened a few years ago at the MidAt O... -- another adult, 07:38:49 11/23/11 Wed It was Rince Na Tiarna at the Mid-Atlantic O. They took 2nd in the 8 hand and won the ladies 4. (NT) -- dancer, 08:14:48 11/23/11 Wed And here's a video of that 2nd place dance: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=art_Y16WpEM (NT) -- sr dancer, 15:16:59 11/23/11 Wed Technically very good (more) -- WR dancer, 18:52:28 11/23/11 Wed Which is why no one can understand why a Claddagh team of former champs didn't dance in the &overs. (NT) -- dancer, 19:20:22 11/23/11 Wed Well, it was the TC's decision in the end, wasn't it (NT) -- ., 19:27:02 11/23/11 Wed Which makes it even worse. She should know better. (NT) -- Shame on her., 23:48:08 11/23/11 Wed while Claddagh is known for it's team (and they are lovely). The Claddagh adult team (with "regular" adults) has not been dominant in the the adult ceili competition. I just think it was poor form. They should have danced and Over, and left the adult category to the regular adult teams. (NT) -- my opinion, 10:05:41 11/26/11 Sat By "not been dominant" do you mean they don't place a lot or don't place high? I have to say I don't think that should matter, at all. "Real adults" - esp. those who have been taking ceili classes, practicing & working hard - belong on the adult team for adult competition. Question: -- Anyone know?, 13:34:47 11/26/11 Sat I don't believe they've had a "regular" adult team in recent past -- haven't seen one at any feises in a while (NT) -- Southern Cal dancer, 20:08:30 11/26/11 Sat Ok, gotcha. That helps to know; It would be so unfair if older dancers were excluded because of age. Having said that, I still think we need clearer rules or somehing to keep this from happening more. (NT) -- 40+ adult, 05:27:04 11/27/11 Sun They do have regular adult dancers, but they chose not to use them for their Oireachtas teams (NT) -- SoCal dancer, 13:30:55 11/27/11 Sun Sorry, but that is complete b.s. (NT) -- not cool at all, 20:15:22 11/27/11 Sun Re: Sorry, but that is complete b.s. -- An adult dancer, just a spectator at oireachtas, 21:09:57 11/27/11 Sun While I understand your point... maybe you do not understand the situation ... (I can see your point though). (more inside) -- x, 21:56:03 11/27/11 Sun Not the above poster, but I agree with you... -- NK, 05:19:44 11/28/11 Mon I don't see ythe tiny imperfections. Their figure was spot on. -- Lovely, and not from this school., 07:57:18 11/29/11 Tue I'm with you. Does anyone else see anything wrong with this dance? -- Anyone?, 09:07:25 11/29/11 Tue Since you asked......At least two of the dancers weren't completing their "back 2, 3s" during the dance. Also during the body, when they are advancing three facing three, there is supposed to be a "lift" or at least a "hop" back 2,3 as they retire. The dancers do lift or hop back at all. (NT) -- simply place their foot behind. Very high on their toes throughout the dance, which is very lovely., 09:33:33 11/29/11 Tue Sorry. last part should read, "The dancers do not lift" (NT) -- op, 09:49:41 11/29/11 Tue Watched again and do not see anyone not completing their back 2 3's. As for the advance and retire I am pretty sure the "hop" on the retire is a "style" not a requirment. Some view it as an embellishment best left out. This dance might not be your style but I still do not see any imperfections. -- Loved it and again I am not even from their region, 13:17:22 11/29/11 Tue Feet coming off the floor when you are doing back 2, 3s is not an embellishment. It's not happening very much in the video. -- dancer, 13:36:17 11/29/11 Tue Yeah, I have to agree with you. I just rewatched and when they do the retire, it looks like they are stepping back instead of dancing back. Pretty sure adding the hop is one of those things that will get you more points, not less. (NT) -- very interesting to dissect, 08:03:08 11/30/11 Wed Agreed, seems like a hop would add more points but every judge has his/her own preferences in style. I do not think the absence of a hop would result in lost points. (NT) -- Just my two cents, 10:00:59 11/30/11 Wed Their arms could be better (NT) -- X, 16:41:23 11/29/11 Tue I found it; copied&pasted inside: -- we need new age groups!!, 07:47:34 11/23/11 Wed It's ok inside . . -- Denver Dancer, 14:47:04 12/01/11 Thu I see your point, but I think the question now is: should it be? Should it be legal? Or would we all benefit from extended age groups? -- MARO dancer, 07:55:38 12/02/11 Fri

Subject: I love the adults
Author: Lily [ Edit \| View ]	Date Posted: 14:51:55 11/29/11 Tue I love competing in the adult division in MAR's because I have made so many friends from other schoold. The best part is everyone is so friendly. We all wish each other well and we cheer each other on. It's a great feeling instead of the cattiness that is known for ID. There is none of that in Adult dancers. We are all there for fun and in the end as long as someone wins everyone is happy for everyone. The kids could learn from us because that's what ID is about. I look forward to it every year . Congrats to everyone in the Philly adult division!!!!

(They had mixed 15&o 4hands in the adult section...but compared to what some of the adults looked like, you couldn't tell the difference!!!) >:-D (NT) -- Heh, 20:58:17 11/28/11 Mon I haven't seen any photos on the official site either...

No, I don't know of any of adult trad sets, but if any adults have any, please share! (NT) -- yes, would love to see, 11:52:07 11/29/11 Tue Emailed Shamrock. They were not able to attend adult trad set awards. More inside ... -- No official photos., 04:37:30 11/30/11 Wed Re: The MARO trad sets were awesome. Congrats to all dancers. There was so much talent and enthusiasm in that group of 38.

I don't have access to post it now, of I'd look it up. (NT) -- adult ceili dancer, 09:30:15 11/29/11 Tue There is a picture on the Feis America facebook page, but it is not of the top 5, just of some of the competitors with their teacher.

Subject: There are 2 easy ways to help the IDN to help you save money on everything Irish Dance. Take our 4 question survey & "Like" our Vendor Discount page on Facebook.
Author: The IDN [ Edit \| View ]	Date Posted: 19:26:43 11/07/11 Mon If you would like a discount when buying anything and everything Irish Dance, then answer our 4 question survey at http://www.IrishDancingNetwork.com/survey Like the IDN's Vendor Discount Page by clicking on our link http://www.facebook.com/pages/Irish-Dancing-Vendor-Discounts/295370583814546 The above links can also be found on the IDN's home page http://www.IrishDancingNetwork.com Throughout the years, Irish dancers and their families have helped and supported the vendors to establish successful businesses. The IDN has developed a way for the vendors to show their appreciation to the Irish Dancing Community. If every business contributes just a small amount in giving back to you, the result will be huge. The IDN is not asking for a lot from any one business, just a little from every business that has made their life in Irish dancing. The IDN in return is giving back to the businesses that give back to you. We are promoting our sponsors in journal advertisements and paying vendor fees for our sponsors to be at major competitions. So ask your favorite vendors if they are giving back to the Irish dancing community. The IDN's goal is to increase the number of people involved in Irish Dancing. Why should anyone be shut out from participating in something they love to do? Why should the long term prohibitive costs of Irish Dancing stop new beginners from enrolling in a sport that will provide lasting memories and life long friends? Imagine if every ID related business gave just a little bit towards this goal. We can help increase the number of dancers, driving up enrollment numbers and provide something for everyone involved. It's important to ask your favorite Irish Dancing business if they support giving back through the IDN while simultaneously securing the future of the dancers and the future of doing business in Irish Dancing. The more businesses that support giving back, the more the Irish Dancing Network can give back to you. The rising costs of Irish Dancing. The IDN believes that we can help cut the costs of Irish Dancing, from class registration fees to Feis entry fees, wigs, shoes, costumes, travel and a lot more. The more support we have from you, the more we can give back to everyone involved in ID. We give back to you as well as the vendors that support giving back to you. Why should Irish Dancing businesses give back to the ID Community? Remember that just a little bit of giving back from a lot of businesses results in a huge benefit to all involved, you the dancer, your family and the business itself. Our sponsors give back to you and the IDN gives back to you and the sponsors. Read some of the articles about the rising costs and the future of Irish Dancing. http://www.irishcentral.com/irishdance/Irish-dancing-a-rich-man-or-womans-game-97857319.html http://www.irishabroad.com/news/irishpost/ents/RisingcoststhreateningthefutureofIrishdance.asp http://www.ramblinghouse.org/2010/07/irish-dancing-becoming-a-rich-kids-game/

Author: reelbummed [ Edit \| View ]	Date Posted: 09:35:29 11/02/11 Wed Can anyone tell me if there is a qualification process for adult ceilis to compete at NANs? I've looked around on the board and found conflicting answers... My ceili team is signed up for our O, but unfortunately we've more injuries than we have alternates so we will be unable to compete. Would we be able to compete at NANs if we don't get to dance at the oireachtas?
Replies:
It is my understanding a team in the same age group must compete in a regional oireachtas for a team to compete at NAN's. The team does not have to be made up of the same people. -- Check with ITDANA, I could be wrong., 12:03:28 11/02/11 Wed And sorry to hear about the injuries! -- good luck, 12:05:11 11/02/11 Wed I think they make an exception for injuries. Check their rules but I'm pretty sure that if you mean to compete and can't b/c of injuries, you can go to NANs. And I wouldn't be surprised if even that is exempted for adults (NT) -- Good luck!!!, 13:11:45 11/02/11 Wed There is no qualification for adult ceili teams at NANs. Sign up. Dance. Easy as that.

I guess first question is what does your TC say? I think it's a good idea to drop back to novice, just in case. If you really do belong in overs pw you'll find out soon enough, by quick placings. I see no downside to going to novice. (NT) -- but that's just me., 07:54:49 10/10/11 Mon

Subject: Curious to hear from people in the US about how feisanna are handling the "family fee" in regards to adults. more inside---
Author: adult again [ Edit \| View ]	Date Posted: 18:11:13 07/21/11 Thu I last competed about 6 years ago before many had it and am thinking about going back into competing. Adding $20 on top of each entry is going to really be hard. Are some feisanna omitting it for adults? When I last competed, I mostly met up or drove with other competing adults and rarely brought other non-dancing people. It really doesn't seem fair to adults! I'm not the type to cheat but what's to stop a bunch of adults from registering as a "family" on feisworx or efeis and doing their entries together to omit this fee?
Replies:
Unfortunately, no special deals (more inside) -- long-time adult dancer, 03:31:44 07/22/11 Fri I've emailed several feiseanna and gotten the fee waived or reduced. Never hurts to ask. In most cases they'd rather waive a $10 fee than miss out on $50+ in entry fees. (NT) -- SRgirl, 09:12:38 07/22/11 Fri Feis organizers have been very helpful for me :) Just send a note prior to registration to see if they'll adjust the cost. Many have reduced or omitted family fee for me. -- Happy in NY, 12:57:57 07/22/11 Fri That's promising to hear. What exactly did you say in your emails since it seems to be working for both of you lol:) (NT) -- op, 16:19:32 07/24/11 Sun Just be honest: you're an adult dancer, traveling alone and were wondering if they would consider waiving or reducing the family fee, since you won't be able to rationalize the trip/enter as many comps with that fee. (NT) -- SRgirl, 09:52:37 07/25/11 Mon Some do waive it; some don't. Nation's Capital does not. (NT) -- dancer, 06:48:37 07/27/11 Wed Which is the one thing that irks me about that feis -- long time adult dancer, 07:19:51 08/03/11 Wed Just a thought... -- might help, 21:29:01 08/02/11 Tue The issue is that a "family fee" was set up to cover the entrance fee of family members who come with you. Typically adults attend alone. -- adult dancer, 13:35:59 08/03/11 Wed

Subject: Thanks to dongan feis for offering new over-18 in grades- they got respectable numbers. Would other feiseanna consider doing the same? AdvB - 3, Nov. 15, PW- 35, Prelim 17, Open (men/woman over 20) - 6 total

Replies:
Actually, we didn't...the one 18+ dancer in each category was combined with the U18, resulting in the larger category. Why it was labeled 18+ I'm not sure! (and I am still working on a response/thoughts regarding adults...was out of state for work this past week and my brain is still settling). (NT) -- Dongan Feis Secretary, 08:12:20 07/25/11 Mon This is odd, as I danced in the O18 novice, which was combined with U 18, but when I looked at placements, there were 2 papers, one for 241, the U18 comp and one for 246, the O18 comp, with different competitor numbers for placements. This made me think there were 7-8 competitors inthe O18 comp. (NT) -- NE dancer, 20:06:25 08/02/11 Tue

Subject: Nation's Capital
Author: Tidewater Gal [ Edit \| View ]	Date Posted: 13:05:25 05/23/11 Mon Does anyone here know what day adults dance at Nation's Capital? Also, are the figures done in the morning and on the same day as adults? I haven't been in a few years and was hoping to just drive up and back in one day.

Re: Nation's Capital -- hope this helps, 05:53:14 05/24/11 Tue In previous years the adults danced Saturday, but this year is a one day feis, so everyone dances on the same day. (NT) -- ., 17:44:22 07/04/11 Mon

Subject: "Overs" dancers - when and why did you make the leap?
Author: contemplating [ Edit \| View ]	Date Posted: 09:27:05 05/25/11 Wed It's something I think about often. I stopped competing adult levels a few years ago because it was always the same few people and seemed somewhat like a dead-end. I would love to chat with those of you that have made the move, learn why you decided it was right for you, hear how it all went and where you started out in the overs, and know what you are doing with dance now, etc. I would also like to comunicate with others that are considering it but just haven't made the move - like me.

It all started when that stupid no slow hardshoe rule was put in place.... -- And-over dancer, 21:10:40 05/25/11 Wed Agree: stupid slow-speed rule. Anyone hear that this year's meeting at NANs there will be a vote rescinding it? If so, that would be great, because I can't switch to overs for 2 reasons: 1, not allowed by my TC and 2, wouldn't be able to compete in adult ceili; I'm all for getting back slow speeds (NT) -- rumor or not?, 09:13:48 05/26/11 Thu It was passed at the mini-convention and will be voted on by membership at NAIDCs. (NT) -- not a rumor, 11:10:54 05/26/11 Thu not just thinking becuase of speeds -- contemplating, 13:25:58 05/26/11 Thu I know, the adult levels seem to be emptying out, sme dancers quitting? some moving to and-overs --- more -- NE dancer, 22:52:33 05/27/11 Fri I'd love to attend feiseanna which do this. Unfortunately, as discussed in a thread below, Southern Region (US) dancers can't compete in any non-adult competitions. (NT) -- SRgirl, 05:47:56 05/28/11 Sat Yes, this is my hope! I do wish that all the regions could agree on something though - it's frustrating all around! -- Dongan Feis Secretary, 06:05:00 06/02/11 Thu Hi, feis secretary- Could you tell us if you are getting entries for the over-18 grades classes? This is what so many people (including me!) have been wanting - now let's all sign up and repersent! (NT) -- NE dancer, 11:33:16 06/04/11 Sat Will try to check after work and dance! Gotta go check on my experiment...had 5 minutes to check here :) (NT) -- Dongan Feis Secretary, 07:20:12 06/06/11 Mon Was able to check during lunch... -- Dongan Feis Secretary, 10:12:30 06/06/11 Mon So - we are talking the talk but not walking the walk ladies. No entries for beg. or PW, only 1 for Abeg & Nov. If this is what we want, let's prove it. Please some more over-18s make the committment and sign up for this feis. -- NE dancer, 11:57:51 06/06/11 Mon Wonder if somehow you could get this changed in the SR region? Any sympathetic TCs who might be willing to bring it up at meeting? (NT) -- and-over adult, 18:48:34 05/28/11 Sat Re: Wonder if somehow you could get this changed in the SR region?

Great news; thanks for sharing! While you're there, could you tell those teams that us adults can share adult dancer info on this mb? They might not know, being that no one chimed in that they were going! It's like we're missing representation from certain regions (NT) -- the more the merrier..., 07:58:28 07/02/11 Sat Will try to remember....and love my phone's auto correct.
