• Looking at this message board proves what a massive disadvantage WA dancers have when you look at all the feis choices there are over east. Hang in there Perth dancers. As a matter of interest did any dancers do the McAleer, Winter Solstice and Adelaide feis over three weekends? -- WADM, Fri, Jul 03 2009, 5:21:08"

  • 5 girls from Trinity Studio went over to Melbourne for McAleer and there were a few West Australians at Winter Solstice, not sure about Adelaide. (NT) -- Definitely not the same level of competition for WA dancers though :(, Fri, Jul 03 2009, 5:23:34"
  • what so you mean by that? Do you mean because of the distance you are unable to hold as many competitions (NT) -- as dancers from NSW VIC QLD are able to attend?, Fri, Jul 03 2009, 9:27:54"
  • Yes, that's what I meant by WA dancers being disadvantaged because they only have maybe four comps a year if their parents don't have a spare thousand plus dollars for them to go to one of the big comps over east. And they just dance against the same few dancers all year until they get to the Nationals. I just hope the dancers over east appreciate how lucky they are. (NT) -- WADM, Fri, Jul 03 2009, 12:28:13"
  • The majority of dancers in other state dance against the same dancers all year, as well. Not everyone does all competitions, even if they are closer the costs are becoming prohibitive. It is the minority, not the majority that travel interstate for comps. (NT) -- Not quite a bed of roses., Fri, Jul 03 2009, 12:43:08"
    • I've lived in both Sydney and Perth, so I've seen both sides of the coin. Perth dancers certainly aren't as blessed as those interstate. Sections at the competition are always very small. WA just doesn't have anywhere near the number of competitors. (NT) -- -, Fri, Jul 03 2009, 14:12:33"
  • There are only 6 comps a year in Perth, including the State Championships. (NT) -- It seems that there are a lot more for Eastern States dancers, even if they don't get to travel interstate., Sat, Jul 04 2009, 11:00:04"
    • There are only 4 comps a year plus states in Canberra. After that it is an approx 4 hour drive to Sydney comps which gets expensive with hotels, petrol, food etc. At least we have the option though, it must be very hard for WA dancers being so isolated.

So do I go by the sizes given, or order and XS or maybe kids 14?? (NT) -- thanks!, Sat, Jul 04 2009, 4:20:15"

Go straight ahead through 5 roundabouts. When you go through the 5th roundabout (NOT right onto Eagle Vale Dr) it looks like a no through road but just keep going and St Greg's is 1km up ahead.

  • Sorry, I accidentally hit enter before I finished typing...I was just wondering if there is any further information on Andys health status. Have been thinking and praying about him and the family. (NT) -- Best wishes to you all, Wed, Jun 24 2009, 5:58:54"
  • Yes Please can someone do a quick update. I know the Family are wanting Privacy and that is completely understandable but we too have been thinking of him everyday. any news would be good. (NT) -- Old Friend, Wed, Jun 24 2009, 11:56:46"
    • What school does Andrew teach at? (NT) -- :(, Sun, Jun 28 2009, 7:12:02"
      • He is one of Jan Currie's sons - he danced for years and has been a permanent fixture on the NSW scene for as long as I can remember. He has always been a very lovely guy and our family is praying for him and for the whole Currie-Henderson family. (NT) -- There have been updates from family on his facebook page for anyone who knows him, Sun, Jun 28 2009, 7:40:53"
        • Is his last name Currie as well? (NT) -- terrible news :(, Tue, Jun 30 2009, 8:39:43"
          • Currie is Jan's maiden name, Henderson her married name. The boys danced under the name Currie - Henderson. (NT) -- Hope that makes sense., Tue, Jun 30 2009, 8:53:34"
  • We are all praying for Andrew and thinking of you all (NT) -- Maura, Zac and the McAleer Family, Mon, Jun 29 2009, 3:08:38"
  • I got informed today about a benifit being held for Andrew, to assist the family to raise money that will be needed for Andrews years of therapy. (NT) -- Also heard that his condition is still critical, Tue, Jun 30 2009, 9:56:34"
    • We have the link to this on our school site if anyone is interested in going...link inside -- -, Tue, Jun 30 2009, 11:30:30"
      • I know that I won't be able to attend that night due to prior engagements but I would love to buy raffle tickets or make a donation of some sort to the raffle prizes. Should we call the club or is there a teacher who could shed some light? (NT) -- Thanks, Tue, Jun 30 2009, 12:50:38"
  • AIDA NSW are in the process of setting all this up, just give them a few more days and online donations will be available. (NT) -- More will be posted here when all completed - Thanks, Tue, Jun 30 2009, 22:07:50"

• I just read on the CLRG site that 2010 dances will be the same as 2009. -- :(, Mon, Jun 29 2009, 12:29:32"

  • NOOO! This means the '20 years' will do Hornpipe and Reel for the 4th year in a row! (NT) -- :-(, Mon, Jun 29 2009, 13:59:54"
  • I hope this is a rumour! (NT) -- -, Mon, Jun 29 2009, 14:05:09"
    • NOOOO! It *is* up on CLRG :-( (NT) -- Devo, Mon, Jun 29 2009, 14:09:23"
  • So does this mean that next year's syllabus for dancers for Australia will be the same as this year's syllabus?? (NT) -- confused, Mon, Jun 29 2009, 22:01:28"
  • I hope this is right! My daughter has her favourite dances this year but has been out all year with an injury. Hopefully she'll get a second chance. (NT) -- Hopeful Mum, Mon, Jun 29 2009, 22:49:55"
  • sorry this might be a stupid question, but isn't this normal the dances are the same in each section, but the dancer moves up an age group? am i missing something (NT) -- :-), Tue, Jun 30 2009, 4:10:53"
    • That's what I thought as well! Fingers crossed that that is actually the case... as much as I love a good jig set, I'd rather not do hornpipe for yet another year! (NT) -- Dancer, Tue, Jun 30 2009, 6:10:51"
  • It says on clrg site...inside... -- -, Tue, Jun 30 2009, 4:46:59"
  • Apparently the Senior Ladies are doing 4 rounds next year... (NT) -- Obviously a typo but with which dance?, Tue, Jun 30 2009, 6:00:19"
    • I take that where it says "hornpipe and jig set" to mean you have a choice, but I might be way off base! (NT) -- I don't understand CLRG-ese, Tue, Jun 30 2009, 6:35:46"
    • Could be that it is both a hornpipe and a jig set. That's how it used to be in the old days, you would dance the soft, hard and one set then the recalled dancers would dance their opposite time set. (NT) -- You will have to be super fit!, Tue, Jun 30 2009, 7:18:33"
      • If you read carefully, I don't think Senior Ladies will be dancing 4 rounds. Senior men are only listed as doing 3 rounds. Same with Senior Ladies dances for the Worlds. (NT) -- -, Tue, Jun 30 2009, 14:19:43"
