Subject: Absolutely devastated. TC told our NANS dancers in class tonight to expect shocking results next week. These children have worked so hard. I’m so upset at our TC for dashing their hopes and upset that cheating is not under control.

TC said it’s “certain schools” turns to get their good placements and that this “won’t be our year.” DD was in tears after class and I nearly was too thinking about the hours of driving to extra classes, the thousands spent on the new diamanté socks and dresses, the ridiculous airfare to blazing hot Texas, and all the summer fun my daughter has given up to try to do well at NANS. I am absolutely livid that our TC would destroy these children like that but maybe it’s best that she warned them ahead of time. I’m an inch away from cancelling the whole trip and pulling my daughter out altogether.

I would confront TC and tell them how you feel. I am also curious -- B, 17:49:09 06/24/24 Mon
Why on earth would a teacher say that and ruin the kids’ confidence before -- they even go???, 19:01:37 06/24/24 Mon
Did they really… -- NN, 19:31:02 06/24/24 Mon

I call BS on this one. (NT) -- No way, 20:10:37 06/24/24 Mon
This sounds like a teacher “blaming” someone else because their dancer doesn’t do well. Don’t blame someone else because you didn’t teach your dancers. “Cheating” is the new scapegoat for lack of success in a school. (NT) -- Work harder, 21:10:50 06/24/24 Mon
- Well said! (NT) -- Sick of it, 22:17:39 06/24/24 Mon
- "Cheating" has happened repeatedly. It's not a myth/excuse. (NT) -- Doesn't excuse TC's comments!, 22:51:13 06/24/24 Mon
This sounds like something a cheating TC would say when he knows he doesn’t have his friends judging. “Sorry, guys, it isn’t our year.” (NT) -- Dm, 03:58:50 06/25/24 Tue
- Exactly what I was thinking! (NT) -- Smells Fishy, 23:15:30 06/28/24 Fri
What school? (NT) -- ?, 04:03:54 06/25/24 Tue
Sounds like a TCRG who is covering their ass for poor teaching and giving dancers/parents a ready-made excuse for the TCRG's incompetence. -- LMAO, 06:26:38 06/25/24 Tue
Did your school do much better than expected in past years? (NT) -- Curious, 07:30:59 06/25/24 Tue
Sure. And I imagine Santa and the Tooth Fairy are judging? This never happened. (NT) -- Stop stirring the pot, 11:03:43 06/25/24 Tue
stop with the Texas bashing -- TXMA, 11:48:05 06/25/24 Tue
I call BS too. NOBODY in the US ever says 'diamonte.' Ever. (NT) -- wwe, 16:09:42 06/25/24 Tue
Sounds like a fake post to me. (NT) -- It’s too scripted., 20:50:11 06/25/24 Tue
Nationals is notoriously the major where the most favors are given. It’s widely known (NT) -- But this didn’t happen, 21:35:58 06/25/24 Tue
- Widely known by who? Never heard this (or seen it) and been attending since 2011 (NT) -- ..., 11:16:01 06/26/24 Wed
  - IMO - that competition was All Irelands 2024. Nans is fine - no better or worse than the others (NT) -- Hard to cheat- so many judges, 09:05:59 06/27/24 Thu
    - 100%. All Irelands 2024 placements will be repaid at this NANs (NT) -- i'd put money on it, 09:55:55 06/27/24 Thu
Is your TC , Paula McNeilis -- Bry, 22:52:06 06/25/24 Tue
- Hardly. No champions left to go to it. She handed them all to bigger cheaters she couldn't beat (NT) -- Try again, 00:33:39 06/26/24 Wed
  - Who are the biggest cheaters she could t beat? (NT) -- ?, 07:36:53 06/26/24 Wed
    - I said bigger and if you don't know by now, I'm not wasting my time telling you (NT) -- Can't see or won't see???, 08:31:37 06/26/24 Wed
      - Calm down. Some of us from the USA aren’t aware of all the things happening over there. (NT) -- Take a Xanax., 10:21:22 06/26/24 Wed
  - So why don’t you just tell us which school? (NT) -- Why all the secrecy?, 17:06:10 06/26/24 Wed
I would prefer this message to the TCs who gaslight prelims or new opens going for the first time that they will recall and then they are devestated when they don't place. (NT) -- be realistic please, 11:15:13 06/26/24 Wed
- Not shocked AT ALL at this post. Maybe I’m in the minority, but for years our TC has given older champ dancers her thoughts on the judging panel. -- Adult dancer, 12:32:04 06/26/24 Wed
The truth is - ALL - CLRG results are now in question. Past and future. Many of you don't want to admit it, but that is what is at the root of it all. What can you really trust with CLRG? Many of you will believe what you want, and blindly follow. But, the water is tainted- and it leaves a bad taste for the rest. (NT) -- simple observation, 04:28:42 06/27/24 Thu
- I believe it is only tainted for those that need an excuse for low placings. Yes cheating went on but if you know dance those dancers would have placed that high anyways and those that didn't recall it wasn't because of cheating, just not good (NT) -- enough that day!, 06:05:17 06/27/24 Thu
  - there are plenty of us who have no disillusion of our placements and can still identify those who received favors. (NT) -- we aren't idiots., 08:10:26 06/27/24 Thu
  - Disagree dancers don’t recall because others were pulled in by cheating when not deserved! (NT) -- Rd, 12:29:24 06/27/24 Thu
    - 100% (NT) -- Agree, 19:03:49 06/27/24 Thu
What TC and school would do this. SOOOO much drama and why are you posting here - talk to the TC and head of school! (NT) -- more drama caused, 07:41:45 06/27/24 Thu
This didn’t happen so much it unhappened things that happened (NT) -- Sure Jan, 06:23:14 06/30/24 Sun
