• bin askin myself the same as I go too feis all the time and see ones dancing pre open when they've already got 1st, dont blame the kids but do blame the parents and teachers who keep puttin them in pre open. the rule is once u take a 1st in pre open u move to open unless the 1st was an award. (NT) -- dancer, Mon, Feb 11 2013, 22:15:00
• You can be open and dance pre open also for example if your child is open in age u11 she can still dance her pre open u11 considering she hasnt won that dance in open up to that point ................loads of open dancers dance pre open ,just because they dance open doesnt mean they are champs ,a lot still dance pre open as they havent won that dance under that age group ,they may have won it under the prevous yr but each yr they can dance pre opens again ,hope that helps (NT) -- DB, Mon, Feb 11 2013, 22:49:49
  • is that not at the beginning of the yr. I always thought if yr open in a dance and have not won u can go back to pre open at the start of the next yr but I could be wrong so would like to know . i think what the other poster was talking abt was children winning preopen dances and not moving up as they should at the next feis. (NT) -- interested, Mon, Feb 11 2013, 23:13:06
  • We were told different by dance teacher.If you win a pre open under 11 you are open for that dance till end of the year. If at the end of the year you do not win an open for that dance. In janurary you go back to pre open.For the dance you won in pre open you can dance a year up to under 12 pre open. (NT) -- ms, Mon, Feb 11 2013, 23:20:13

My children's dance teacher gives each and every child attention at the same level no matter what age/ experience they are. My children have had individual lessons free of charge as and when they need that extra bit of help and this is the practise for ALL dancers in the school. I feel so lucky when I hear other parents like the op talking about their teachers who are obviously more concerned about the money they make than seeing "their dancers" progress.

• Love this feis was there for both days.. only complaint no seats and too hot!!! also dissapointing in beginner cup comps that they only give 5 places. there was over 48 in the b cup comp u/9 and around 25 in the c cup (NT) -- dancing mom, Mon, Feb 04 2013, 11:18:34
• Agree with cup competitions, they should have run more cups in all the ages as it would have quickened things up. Then more kids would have a chance at winning some thing. I find the cup competitions very demoralising usually with numbers and kids trying so hard to impress.... (NT) -- Did kildare championships..., Tue, Feb 05 2013, 11:11:41
