If you want to try and-overs but don't want to sacrifice your adult standing, choose a feis with no adult comps, and the and-overs is, by default, your competition. (NT) -- OP, 18:55:21 06/23/10 Wed Yes, yes, yes! I heard the same thing. But how I wish this were in writing somewhere, anywhere! It would calm a lot of people down, reassure them that we don't want to cheat or anything, we just want to dance.

Thanks a million! You hear that, adult dancers? You CAN dance in overs at a feis that doesn't have "adult" levels and NOT sacrifice your adult status, according to the chairman of the board!! Woo-Hoo! (NT) -- writing this down..., 08:05:07 06/25/10 Fri
