Welcome to the Mid-American Irish Dance Board The goals of this board are to inform and educate readers about Irish Dance within our region. Anyone interested in dance is welcome to read and post here. Moderators: Be aware the moderators of this board are unpaid volunteers with no affiliation to voy.com, moderators of other boards or with each other beyond a shared love for Irish dance. Our families, jobs and dance activities keep us busy. We respond to questions and requests as quickly as convenient. If you have a question about editorial policy, please contact us via the “Contact Forum Admin” link on the tool bar above. (Remember, emails systems sometimes experience delays beyond the control of the recipient.) We do not discuss editorial policies or reasons for post removals on the open board. The opinions expressed here are those of the writers, not of the voy board or board moderators. Policies: Cursing and libel are not tolerated. In addition to the usual words and phrases commonly accepted as swearing, any reference to genitalia, either missing, original equipment or artificial, is vulgar and will be treated as cursing. Before posting a comment, remember there are real people with real feelings attached to the statements you write. Do not publish a comment if you wouldn't want something similar written about yourself, your school, child, TC or friend. Readers, remember you may, without comment, scroll past any thread or post you find boring or aggravating. Out-of-region and international visitors are welcome to join us on this board but be aware, your home area's rules may be different from ours. Describing regulations or requirements that apply to your region may accidentally misinform readers about our region's protocols. If you post information of this nature, identify your dance region to avoid misunderstandings. Vendors and private sellers may post ads here using appropriate self-control. Repetitive posts will be edited or removed. Please remember to visit and use the MW REGION ID FOR SALE BOARD, www.voy.com/213975/ for equipment, accessories and apparel available locally. Email addresses on this board: Do not post your email address in a message title or body on the main index of the board unless you like spam. Create a protected link by starting a new thread or response to a comment. When you are in the "Post a new message" or "newpost" screen, fill in the box labeled "E-mail address (optional)." This creates a Captcha safeguard against web crawlers but still make your address accessible to legitimate users. Posts which have a protected email are easy to recognize: any text in the Name section of a message appears in boldface type. The second best option is to post your address inside a message, replacing the @ with the word "at" to prevent crawlers from detecting an address to copy, for example, DebbieDancer “at” email.com, not DebbieDancer@email.com

Ryan Air just charged $250 to take Globe it weighed 60#. Now worried the AerLIngus will charge to carry on globe. Has anyone had a problem bringing globe home.

- If my dancer won a globe, the last thing I would do is complain about the cost of getting it home. (NT) -- Congrats on the globe, 19:19:51 04/15/14 Tue
- Darn! If my dancer won a globe, I'd buy the thing its own seat on the plane. Maybe even an upgrade! (NT) -- No name, 20:10:17 04/15/14 Tue
  - Talk about 1st world problems!! (NT) -- Congrats to your dancer!!, 21:50:45 04/15/14 Tue
- I think the OP has a legitimate concern. Just because someone is an excellent dancer does not mean they are just rolling in cash and can easily give up an extra $250. If you don't have something nice (or constructive) to say, don't say anything at all. (NT) -- No name, 20:27:24 04/15/14 Tue
  - Seriously, you just spent thousands on a new dress, airfare, hotel, class and you are now concerned over $250 (NT) -- Get a grip, 20:35:06 04/15/14 Tue
    - First, you have no idea how much the person spent. Maybe they used points for airfare and hotels. Maybe they get a discount on the dresses who knows. But even if they did, that's all the more reason money would be tight and an extra $250 would hurt. -- No name, 00:56:55 04/16/14 Wed
      - I thought the winners got money ?? (NT) -- No name, 07:35:36 04/16/14 Wed
- Pay if you must but get a receit , take photos of the exchange. When you get back home write a sincere letter to airline about the situation (include photos of competition and airport exchange - how trophy was packed) Positive thoughts - may get fee back and a "thank you" for choosing the airline (NT) -- Be Happy and CONGRATS !, 20:55:28 04/15/14 Tue
- You can ship it to me for less than $250--I'll hold on to it for you! :) Jk. Congrats--I hope that you have better luck on your next flight. (NT) -- No name, 21:38:27 04/15/14 Tue
- I agree, OP - that's preposterous. How much space does a trophy take up? (NT) -- Hope it didn't lessen the excitement, though. Well done!, 04:13:18 04/16/14 Wed
- seriously people??? Be nice. You have no idea what her/his financial situation is, OR if they got a new dress, etc. I hope that you can carry on without them charging you extra after what im sure was a VERY expensive trip to have your child live their dream. Congrats! (NT) -- No name, 07:38:55 04/16/14 Wed
- I would consider it my daughter's carry on and not let it out of her hand (NT) -- omg.. if I only had that problem!!!!!, 08:50:13 04/16/14 Wed

        agree. The nationals feed was great. Tons of pictures, you could comment, etc. This is awful. All you see are the dancers lined up going on stage and then every now and then the dancer notices a camera and starts waving. LOL (NT) -- No name, 12:55:14 04/15/14 Tue

How do the awards work at Worlds? It doesn't seem like it's at the end of the day like at O. Is it a big production like at O or do they just call them when it's ready? -- No name, 10:24:16 04/15/14 Tue

- They call them when it's ready, and the stage is on a break. Not all at the end of the day. Sometimes will do awards for 2 comps back-to-back for convenience. (NT) -- hth, 10:48:47 04/15/14 Tue

A co-worker of mine has been selected by Jane Richard's family to be part of Team MR8 as an Ambassador for the Martin W. Richard Charitable Foundation. The Foundation’s mission is “to honor Martin’s message of ‘No more hurting people – peace’ by investing in education, athletics and community.” -- No name, 07:45:40 04/14/14 Mon
As the ID community felt some connection with Jane over the past year, the links around site show updates on the family, they have established this foundation in memory of her brother.

Martin Richard was an eight-year-old boy standing near the finish line of the Boston Marathon last year. He was there with the rest of his family to support the individuals running the marathon. He was a boy who loved sports, his Red Sox and Bruins. The boy that would grow up to be anything he wanted to be, yet have it all taken away in seconds. He was the boy who made a sign that read, “No More Hurting People - Peace” during school.
The Martin W. Richard Charitable Foundation was established to honor Martin’s message of peace, a message that went global in the days after the he was tragically taken while the entire family was all cheering on runners at last year’s Boston Marathon.

Worlds excitement -- No name, 23:53:11 04/13/14 Sun
While we are all wrapped up in the excitement of Worlds, let's all take a moment to remember what is truly important in our Irish dance community. Certainly not taking away anything from any of the dancers in London, but as teachers and parents and as dancers, let's remember the young dancer Jane from Boston and her daily struggles, the ever charming Peter Smith and all that he represented, the courage and strength of Drew Lovejoy to leave our dance world and to defend our country - those are the things that I hold dear. And when all is said and done, whether you have ever stepped foot on that Worlds stage or not, recalled at your Oireachtas or not, what truly matters in the end is that you danced because you loved it and that you treated people kindly and with respect. Because, in the end, that's what counts. So let's not forget that this week.

Does anyone know how the Indianapolis Feis stages run? I have an U12 PW and we just learned that due to a family conflict, we won't be able to stay at the feis past about 2:00pm. If she won't start dancing until after lunch, this tells us we're better off skipping the feis altogether. I cannot find a previous feis schedule. -- Anyone?, 18:27:56 04/13/14 Sun

  - What we're trying to find out is when her age group/level starts. We're seeing a growing trend where none of her dances begin until after noon and sometimes even later. If she will start in the morning, she can at least do some of her dances. If her dances don't begin until after lunch, there is no point in even showing up. (NT) -- Anyone?, 21:09:06 04/13/14 Sun

Indy Feis and Gay Pride Week -- Concerned parent, 17:32:48 04/12/14 Sat
I was trying to book a room for Indy Feis and found everything full so I checked the Indy events for the week. It is gay pride week a the same time. I have seen these events in different towns and they vary widely. In some places they are an excellent presentaiton of community talent with art, music, etc. In other towns it degenerates to nothing more than an excuse for public displays of overt sexual behavior not at all appropriate for a fmaily environment.

So can anyone tell me where Indy falls on that spectrum? FOr a conservative catholic family is this no-go or an ok-to-go?

Awards at Feis -- -, 20:19:38 04/11/14 Fri

Isn't there a rule that states dancers have to be in full costume at awards presentation (dress, shoes socks and number)?

- I insist for my dancers, on behalf of the dance, the clrg, the naidc, the midamerica region, their school, their family, their friends, the feis, the parents, and finally themselves. (NT) -- No name, 22:18:47 04/11/14 Fri
  - I should have added - Rule Or No Rule! (NT) -- No name, 22:23:22 04/11/14 Fri
- Not one written down anywhere, but I've taught my girls to give the feis committee the respect deserved and show up in full costume with dance shoes on when awards are ready to be called. Can't stand the one dancer who is just waiting to see if her number is called before putting on her dress. (NT) -- No name, 00:24:03 04/12/14 Sat
- You DO sometimes see it in a feis syllabus, which makes it a rule for that particular feis. (NT) -- Read carefully!, 08:26:21 04/12/14 Sat
- Even if I'm pretty sure I haven't placed, I wear my dress at awards. If I don't, I feel like I'm being snotty, even if it's my fault and I know I didn't dance well enough to place. I just think it's polite. Clearly there are some extenuating circumstances (I was young, watching awards at a feis for fun, didn't know they were going to announce TR, and had to go up in my feis tracksuit because it was hours after I danced and I had no clue), but if you know you should be in your dress. (NT) -- I think it's polite., 10:23:00 04/12/14 Sat
- For those that want to put their best foot forward in these situations, they need to do themselves a favor and dress appropriately for the occassion. Our school has this expectation and we would not want our TC to see award photos of us in anything other than full costume. (NT) -- No name, 10:28:11 04/12/14 Sat
- Full costume for awards should be the norm. However, once I heard people trashing a girl on the podium for wearing her school jacket and shorts (with wig, makeup, hard shoes). Turns our she had let another dancer wear her solo, due to a ripped zipper, and the other girl's comp was going on. (NT) -- Nice of her to help a friend., 12:50:59 04/12/14 Sat
- sometimes the awards person does not give enough time for dancers to change into their dresses - (NT) -- give 15 min notice would help, 13:49:20 04/12/14 Sat
  - We've experienced this! It's a nightmare. Waiting around for results, but too warm (summer feis) to wear dress. Announcer just walks up and says 'here are the results for competition XYZ". AND glares at dancers who aren't in full costume. Give us a few minutes at least! (NT) -- No name, 14:33:52 04/12/14 Sat

- Which Columbus feis? Summer one (which is outdooors) or the one in August with the Dublin Irish festival. To be honest I like the Cincinnati-Queen City feis. Good venue, inside, lots of camping and good awards-- I've never been to the summer feis outdoors but heard of weather being wet & another being hot -- the August Dublin Irish fesitival is fun too if you have time to do that and go to Columbus.

WHITE SHOE LACES -- To Be or Not to Be, 14:52:58 04/10/14 Thu

On the UK board there is a big discussion of white shoelaces CAN be worn at Worlds....but not too long ago there was a post saying they are now banned. Could someone direct us to info that was posted.

- PUBLISHED rules on the CLRG website are silent on this. UK board folks are advising to call CLRG. Maybe a TC who has done this can weigh in. Probably better to be safe and plan on black laces though. (NT) -- No name, 15:47:38 04/10/14 Thu
- Found the post - http://www.voy.com/33031/3/165922.html (NT) -- White is Nice, 17:15:50 04/10/14 Thu
- I'm pretty sure CLRG put up on their website that white tape and laces were okay, but I cannot find that now so it's possible I am wrong. The coloring on the shoes is definitely just for weird colors--no shoe that's not black is okay for competition. Hardshoes may have white tape/accents. (NT) -- Sorry to not be more help., 18:21:00 04/10/14 Thu

World Championships 2014 London - FeisPix official photographers -- FeisPix, 11:42:42 04/10/14 Thu
Here at FeisPix the excitement is mounting as the start date approaches. For months now we have been planning and designing some innovative photo ideas. For example there will be strut mounts, embossed with a London skyline motif. This will make a cherished memento of the World Championships 2014. You can choose to have your photo printed on a border collage of iconic London scenes. Ceili teams might wish to have a group photo on a clock face, making a wonderful gift for ‘you know who’. Visit our website to see samples of our ideas. But don’t forget to drop by and see our display at our studio stall on the ground floor foyer of the West Wing entrance.
Soon after each age group has danced we will display proofs of all the action at our stall. But remember you can also see all the action and award pics on our website as early as humanly possible after the event.
We send our best wishes to all competitors. Enjoy the championships. Enjoy London and England.

- I'm not sure how soon the official info comes out. It's at the Minneapolis Convention Center this year. You can check the Minneapolis and O'Shea feis websites from this past weekend to get ideas of what hotels might be used for the O.
