I have yet to see a good explanation for why the TCRG exam is structured the way it is. What is the benefit of rote memorization of all 30 ceili dances? . -- The NEW UK Irish Dance Board for UK, European & World

Subject: I have yet to see a good explanation for why the TCRG exam is structured the way it is. What is the benefit of rote memorization of all 30 ceili dances? .

Why should anyone be forced to learn 30 ceili dances from memory when only a third or so are competed in abridged form? The dances are documents, so why is knowing them by heart of any benefit to anyone except as a gatekeeping measure to keep aspiring teachers out? And how does such memorization make someone a good teacher? No one has been able to convince me yet that the TCRG exam is not 50 years out of date

Simple answer ... it's been this way since 1950's and no one is smart enough or has he leadership skills to change it. (NT) -- Fact !!!!, 17/03/26 21:03:24, Tue
In a time where CLRG needs more revenue, more teachers and more entries, now would be the best time to change it... (NT) -- Unfortunately that would require brain cells and an org not run by dinosaurs :(, 18/03/26 9:39:52, Wed
Itâ€™s a barrier to entry. WIDA lets ballet teachers take a weekend workshop and certify them. This at least weeds out the unserious. (NT) -- Could be online proctored test tho, 18/03/26 21:01:03, Wed
- WIDA has a eight step exam process. It is listed on their website. (NT) -- ..., 20/03/26 23:17:07, Fri
This comes up here like once a year, and itâ€™s ALWAYS thought about wrong. See inside. -- Youâ€™re missing the point, 19/03/26 21:29:21, Thu
