>Would you send your children to a school full of people who profess to know how to read and write? or would you expect them to be qualified to teach? the answer is clear. What makes you think that because you can get through a light jig that entitles you to set up a class and take peoples money? other people work their butts off and do it the right way. You tell your children they are champs....but champs of what? i dont agree with lying to children. T.C.R.G

Actully if you live in southern ontario there are several certified schools to choose from and I can think of at least 3 non cert schools (one of which is operated by a former TCRG) I'm not sure of the other two but one operates in Burlington and the other is in Brampton. The city's in and around Lake Ontario from Fort Erie to Ajax right into Ottawa region and right back to Windsor all have access to certified schools. So for those who wish too you can choose from some of the best teachers in the world as lots of world champions have been trained in this region.

With that said I don't agree with the tone of the assumed TCRG message (I'll take it on good faith that you are)and I have a few questions for you 1) who qualified you to decide what is the right or wrong way? 2) why did you assume the OP can't do more then just a light jig? Maybe just maybe the OP is a former champion dancer? Don't you think that might be the case with all the schools in this region and the large amount of dancers.

Some other reasons one might seek out a non cert school is the cost, I live in the area and wow is all I can say when people talk about how much per month or per year parents pay for lesson & admin fee's to attend some of the area schools, not including fund raising. Some dancers might not wish to compete, parents may not be able to afford the cost of feisanna (dresses, both solo & school can be very costly) Entry fees are or have gone up (both per dance & door fee) The cost of fuel to get to the event and now most don't allow coolers into building so better add in food for the day) These are just some of the reasons one might seek out a non cert school.

And while I'm at how about the TCRG's who have serveral locations going and are using senoir dancers to cover them? You & I both know it's happening! So what's your opinion on that?
