This should be treated as a national crisis. No one participating in the world famous dance form of their own country. Does CLRG not see this as a cultural problem to address. Or are they still kowtowing to the few teachers left in the region who play games to get dancers on the box at these tiny championships?

- Too many teachers are looking the other way and supporting those responsible for corrupt practices. This sets the wrong example for dancers. Reform is not just needed, it is overdue. (NT) -- Sad and true., 22/11/25 13:04:07, Sat
