Subject: I agree with above poster partly Author: SRO Dancer [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ] Date Posted: 20:43:53 05/14/11 Sat In reply to: SRgirl 's message, "My understanding is that SR adult dancers *can* compete in the &overs if no adult competitions are offered, however they will not be able to compete on adult ceili teams at the oireachtas." on 13:06:24 05/14/11 Sat I have previously worked on feiseanna and been involved in presenting our syllabi for approval. During the years, we eliminated all adult competitions and added "and over 21, and over 30". Our syllabus was always approved. Because there was no other competition for an "older" dancer to participate in except the "and overs", the dancer would be allowed to do so without any penalty whatsoever. From my understanding this did not preclude dancers from participating in adult ceili. I do not think barring a dancer from an appropriate category would be permitted in either direction. We eventually discontinued these categories due to a bit of lack of interest and probably lack of confidence on the part of the adults dancers.

Subject Author Date Adult Ceili section from 2009 SRO syllabus inside. ("...have not competed in any competition (solo or team) at any feiseanna or Oireactasí, except competitions specifically designated for adults or Dance Drama...") SRgirl 07:14:04 05/16/11 Mon I'm not sure what happens if you started dancing as an adult but competed in the &overs at a feis. Possible loophole? Who knows. ;) (NT) -- SRgirl, 07:15:49 05/16/11 Mon The loophole: "except competitions specifically designated for adults" 18& O is adults; I've heard TCs and ADs say this exact thing. If there is no other "adult" category at a feis and you dance in the oldest "&O" - but especially if it's 18! - then you followed the rules & won't be penalized -- Wish they would just put it in writing, 19:40:49 05/16/11 Mon Adult Ceili at NAIDC, while inclusive of ages 17+ is still listed as ADULT ceili. The Senior ceili competition is the &Over. (more) -- srdancer, 06:57:22 05/17/11 Tue Then the SR needs to speak to the NER and the MidAt region...why do they contradict each other? Why can't there be clear rules, spelled out, for everyone? (NT) -- It's definitely done differently up here, 08:26:54 05/19/11 Thu
