In reply to: - 's message, "Why the eyeroll? AD's don't care? No why would they, it makes their job much easier, no need to watch the actual dancing, just go with the champs/schools they know. Makes me sick that CLRG do nothing about it, but don't you dare dance at a small feis before your ban is up, the sky will fall and you will be punished again with another ban! But break the rules to be on the Worlds podium, oh that's ok, carry on......" on 13:39:08 03/13/18 Tue

I must be in the minority. I looked at this dress that everyone says is so immodest and I just dont see it. Its all fabric! There is no skin showing and nothing that even looks like cleavage. Whats the big deal?? (NT) -- Sorry, dont see it, 20:12:14 03/13/18 Tue
- I'm with you. There are always folks who rail against new styles in ID - all the way back to the 80's. If it's not the dresses it's the steps. I see nothing wrong with these dresses and I'm appalled at the attacks on KIDS. -- Take it to the UK board., 08:24:03 03/14/18 Wed
  - It's not nice to objectify children by dressing them like Vegas showgirls. (NT) -- Stand up for what's right., 11:12:28 03/14/18 Wed
    - That's ridiculous and you know it. So thick beige fabric is now objectification? OK. Feel free to choose as you wish for you dancer but leave other dancers alone. Those throwing around words like "slut" shouldn't really be talking. (NT) -- End of, 12:02:08 03/14/18 Wed
      - Well, I didn't. But the dressing little girls up like Vegas showgirls has consequences for us all -- Somber, 19:24:02 03/14/18 Wed
        OMG compared to most forms of dance that little girls perform in, these dresses are -- Dm, 06:01:35 03/15/18 Thu
        So you admit the idea is to dress more like other mainstream dance forms? Some of us want to be Irish Dancers. (NT) -- Pick a new class, 08:30:37 03/15/18 Thu
        These Irish dance dresses look NOTHING like other forms of dance costumes! -- Dm, 13:11:26 03/15/18 Thu
        Well, they shouldn't... and yet... -- Yes they do!, 14:04:45 03/15/18 Thu
        Not even close! And that second dress has an exposed stomach, exposed back -- Dm, 16:06:51 03/15/18 Thu
        This are the dance costumes I regularly see on the little ones, a tad less coverage -- Dm, 16:26:50 03/15/18 Thu
    - Seriously, if you are looking at our girls and thinking 'Vegas Show girl" then I do not want YOU at feis. There is something very wrong with you if that is where your imagination takes you (NT) -- Please get out of this sport, 13:43:19 03/15/18 Thu
      - And adding to my above comment, freakos like you are the reason we have a no pictures rule at feis. It is to protect children from people with pervy imaginations (NT) -- like yours, 13:45:23 03/15/18 Thu
        Oh yes, refusing to put our heads in the sand makes us pervy. Guaranteed you won't find this rule-violating look on any dancer from our TC's school. (NT) -- Fight objectification!, 14:06:34 03/15/18 Thu
I agree, they know the top dancers which is why schools dress lesser dancers in the same design as their champ. Maybe it makes no difference, but maybe, just maybe an AD will take a second glance at a dancer in a recognized dress where they would have possibly ignored them without it.
