Subject: Timing - v - Footwork :- See Inside

Timing and interpretation of the music is "Centre Most" to all forms of dance, including Irish.

If a dancer doesn't have timing then it is very difficult for them ever to improve on that.

If a dancer is out of time they must be in your lower placings.

I hope this helps. It really doesn't matter the feet, carriage, leg work or rhythm. They are out of time. That's it.

Mark low.

Thanks. I completely agree. However, what about a dancer that is in good time except for a very small portion of one step? -- ., 07:51:10 09/14/10 Tue

    - Hi, Just a quick question. Have you said here that your 1st place dancer in a beginner competition got 80 marks from you? Is it normal to mark this high in a beginner comp. I would have only give my 1st 50/60. Is this wrong of me? (NT) -- OD, 01:18:42 09/16/10 Thu
      - I actually can't remember what I marked (It was a while ago) and was using it as an example (m) -- mom and TCRG, 05:17:17 09/16/10 Thu
        50/60 too low go mid to high 60's (NT) -- and go up from there, 05:55:16 09/21/10 Tue
