- Looks like I won't be photographing at the Worlds in Montreal -- Milton Baar, Fri, Feb 27 2015, 19:57:18"
Hi All
It is with great sadness that I am letting you know that I probably won't be at the World Irish Dancing Championships in Montreal to photograph Australian and NZ dancers. Unfortunately, although having tried since November, I have been unable to raise any sponsorship to offset the costs of travel and accommodation.
Additionally, the four organisations that make free use of my photos in their commercial publications have not replied to my request for a letter of support to get a press pass from CLRG. These letters, provided in the past, assist in proving to CLRG that the photos are used by reputable press organisations.
I'm certain that there will be plenty of people taking great photos and that they will find their way to Facebook, so in reality there is probably no loss to dancers or parents.

- Not in Sydney, but I always use the link at the top of this page to Dreamtime, they have better prices and usually come in around a week. If you think you might order more than once, join their crystal club because you get points each time you buy something and can use them to buy other things, I was able to get a chart with samples of most of the different coloured crystals on it for free and it has come in so handy matching different colours on our dresses without having to guess if the colour will be right.

- Could any TC/AD say how it will work from 2018 for people who may not be a current dancer? In the "old days" anyone could study for the TCRG exam, sit the exam and if they pass, they are a TC. Even people who hadn't danced in years could sit the exam. If a dancer has been away from dancing for a while and has never completed the grade exams, how will they be able to do the TC exam from 2018 onwards? (NT) -- Thanks., Wed, Jan 14 2015, 9:24:25"
- maybe you shouldn't be teaching if you haven't danced in years (NT) -- ...., Wed, Jan 14 2015, 19:04:48"
- After 2018 you will be required to complete the Graded Exams in full before you apply for the TCRG exam, any one of the current TC's can assist with putting you through these, but you still have 2-3years before this come into effect. There are exams in May this year and probably again late next year. Start studying, it is worth it. If you have questions there are current candidates studying for the exam, just email your local contact in AIDA and they will be able to help (NT) -- Candidate, Fri, Jan 16 2015, 7:25:20"

- You will probably need to wait until after the AIDA Convention in Febreuary for new exam dates, from what I know they pick a date and then have to apply to CLRG for approval, so probably wont know until later in the year (NT) -- *9, Sat, Jan 24 2015, 9:12:37"

- We usually stay at the Salisbury Hotel. Look around for pricing, we saved almost one thousand dollars booking through Expedia for our last week long stay, when compared to booking through the hotel direct. It's in a great spot around the corner from Central Park and 5th Avenue. They have large 2 room suites with seperate lounge/bedroom and a small kitchenette with fridge and coffee maker.

- Perfectly safe, we have used the subway day and night. NY is open 24/7, there are always people around. You can get a 7 day unlimited ride pass for $30. Google NY subway tickets and you can see the difference fares available. Cabs are not expensive for short rides but from one end of the city to the other could cost $20-$30 (found out the hard way!), subway back at the end of the day was $2.50 ! Also got taken the long way by a cab driver when he didn't know I knew the way. Cab fare from the airport is also a fixed price, I think $50 so it doesn't mater how long it takes. (NT) -- -, Fri, Jan 23 2015, 14:00:41"
- Subway price is going up in March to $2.75 per ride, they announced it yesterday. The subway is perfectly safe, just be aware of your surroundings if you catch it late at night. Cabs are very cheap compared to Australia, and ery quick for getting around at night, just be confident telling your driver where you want ot go (always use cross streets, not street numbers eg. 5th Avenue and 34th St, not 1600 5th Avenue). Cab fare is fixed from JFK to Manhattan $52 + tolls + tips, so about $68-70 all up. Happy to answer any other questions. (NT) -- Aussie living in NYC, Sat, Jan 24 2015, 1:36:35"

Anyway, I'm not currently in a position to be able to buy team dresses, as I am a full time university student without an income. I was wondering if anyone had team dresses they would be able to donate if I pay postage? I keep missing the odd ones they have on dance again despite trying several times. You would be helping some amazing hard working young dancers who love dancing! If you have any team dresses no longer in use, and would be happy to donate, please contact me. You'd make my day!

- Australian dress makers? -- :), Fri, Jan 16 2015, 6:04:58"
Looking at getting a new dress this year and am hoping to purchase something closer to home.
Would anyone who has bought a Mary Skotnicki dress or Elizabeth Davis dress recently for a senior lady mind telling me how much it cost you? Wanting to budget before committing to selling my current dress.
Thanks in advance!
[ Post a Reply to this Message ][ Edit | View ]
Replies:
- I am pretty sure that Mary will work within your budget, it's best to contact her. I also think that Liz's beautiful designs can be bought by any dress maker, so the final cost of the dress would depend on who actually makes the dress. Off the top of my head Jillian Howard in Victoria and Karen Meimaris in QLD use Liz's designs, but I am sure there would be others, maybe contact Liz and let her know what state you are in an she could recommend someone to you. (NT) -- hope that helps., Fri, Jan 16 2015, 9:07:46"
- My dress prices are no secret - just ask me! They depend on style, size and amount of embroidery, but for any age dancer my price is very very roughly two thirds (sometimes less) of what an overseas dressmaker would charge, plus there's no duty because I'm Aussie! However, I am basically fully booked until November, though I do occasionally get a cancellation or deferral so it's always worth asking if you're interested! I also have a Facebook page (Mary Skotnicki Irish Dance Dresses) and a link on the main page of Dance Again if you want to see some of my prevous dresses. Thanks (NT) -- Mary Skotnicki, Sun, Jan 18 2015, 8:11:45"

- It's a dancing competition -- Beautiful feet fan, Sun, Dec 28 2014, 13:40:18"
- Most childrens' activities cost - sailing horse riding, bits of fluff that ice skaters wear! If you child does ballroom dancing they need a different outfit for each dance!, ballet also requires quite an outlay when child competes in eistedfords. Cycling abd go-karting also spend a lot. I suppose its worth the money to have your child "doing something" rather than hanging around. A new dress every season is a bit over the top. I used to wait till my child had grown out of her dress before buying a new one and by new I often found a great dress that had only been worn half a dozen times. (NT) -- parent, Mon, Dec 29 2014, 7:02:11"
- Couldn't agree with you more. Let's make Irish dancing more accessible and inclusive of children from all walks of life, rather than keeping it as the exclusive, elitist sport it currently comes across as in Australia. (NT) -- They're dancers, not pageant queens., Mon, Dec 29 2014, 8:48:07"
- I think the price of dresses (the big name designers) at the moment is just over the top. Considering that the cost of material is roughly $25 a metre and it only takes 4 - 5 metres to make a dress. The difficulty is getting the embroidery done as you need a machine that can handle large pieces. I still don't believe that we should have to pay upwards of $2000 for a dress that can (and sometimes is) made in 2 or three days. And before anyone says anything ... yes I have looked into making dresses, but as a single mum I can't afford the outlay for the embroidery machine and software. (NT) -- Wish I could win powerball, Mon, Dec 29 2014, 10:21:57"
- Unless your dancer is going to dance at Worlds, there is no need to have the latest most expensive dress. If just dancing locally in Australia, buy what you can afford. You can save a lot of money buying second hand and keeping a dress for more than a year. The TC can tell you to get a new dress as much as they like, but unless they are paying for it, you should do what is best for you, not what the TC thinks you need. (NT) -- -, Mon, Dec 29 2014, 11:42:32"
- To be honest, I find that turning over a new brand name dress every twelve months is the way to go. It means that you have a current, second hand dress for sale that I've always had snapped up quickly at a very good price (for me). Leave it another twelve months, your dress is out of date and not as attractive to buyers. Therefore, you make less on it or don't sell it at all. I know people with wardrobes full of dresses. That is when it becomes expensive! (NT) -- DM, Tue, Dec 30 2014, 6:07:21"
- Agree, that's what we do and have no dresses waiting to be sold. People also over price older style dresses. You can only get top dollar for the newer styles. Either buy new and sell after nationals or buy used and save a bundle, just saw a fairly recent style Gavin on dance again for 500 pounds, not even $1000! (NT) -- -, Tue, Dec 30 2014, 15:18:25"
- Hi could someone who has experience at buying second hand or off the rack please advice.I am looking to buy my first second hand solo dress online but not sure how much extra should I allow for room to move grow etc? for eg if my child has a chest of 32 waist 26 arm 24 should I look for a dress with these exact measurements or go an inch higher. (NT) -- confused, Fri, Jan 02 2015, 9:32:08"
- It will depend on how old your child is and whether she has had any growth spurts -- More inside, Fri, Jan 02 2015, 10:37:19"
- Yes you should definitely add at least one inch to the chest, or two if she's developing, to give some breathing space and a little growing room. You should add an inch at the waist, and probably two inches at the dropped waist, but no extra to the sleeves. (NT) -- Hope that helps!, Fri, Jan 02 2015, 10:56:09"
- Been saying for YEARS...put the kids/ladies/men in a plain simple dress/pants and let the dancing win the comp. Most of the time it's like watching those pagents with some Irish dancing thrown in. (NT) -- G (ex dancing mum), Tue, Jan 06 2015, 11:12:19"
- I love my dress. The beautiful dresses are part of the reason I feel in love with Irish dancing in the first place. If you don't like them, don't wear one. If your issue is the price, then these days almost any style goes and you can get great bargains if you look around. Dresses are part of the dancing landscape now - if you don't like them, don't compete. (NT) -- SL, Wed, Jan 07 2015, 4:07:30"

Hope you all had a great Christmas, and are looking forward to 2015.
I still have a LOT of socks, and a few pairs of shoes I need to be rid of. Socks are Large 2-8 and Medium 13-3, at $3.00 a pair or a deal if you want more than 5 pair - plus postage. I have 6 pairs only of Extra Large 6-10 - same price. AND 2 pair of the Lavender scented in very small 5 - 8. Plus a lot of short (17 row) 13-3. NO large or small sizes.
Shoes - 2nd hand Lesley (Made in Sydney) leather sole 8 1/2D and 6D - in pretty good condition - $20.00. New Reel Comfort softies size 3 - $25.00. Size 2 Boyne Walk Killakee leather sole hard shoes - $30.00. Boyne Walk All Black suede sole resin tipped hard shoes 7 1/2 - $60.00. Size 6 All Blacks - $60.00. And some no-name suede soled hard shoes (good for practice) Sizes 13, 12 and 3 - $30.00.
Happy to negotiate - it's a buyers market! Would prefer to sell the socks in quantity as it makes your postage a bit more valuable.
Best wishes to all for a great 2015 of enjoying the dance.

Last month FeisPix announced that its existing website would be replaced with a new site by the end of the year, but that it would not be possible to migrate images from events in 2014, such as the World Championships 2014 in London. The replacement new site is now up and running as of Christmas Day but it may be a little time before it permeates into the world networks. And the good news is that we have decided to dedicate some considerable time to re-uploading all the world images from 2014. The re-uploading process of World 2014 is almost 50% complete, and the remainder is estimated to be complete by the end of the year.
In order to view the image galleries it will be necessary to log-in and create a new password. All accounts from the old site have had to be deleted.
The new site has an increased range of goods available to customers including a variety of crystal items with laser engraved images. Please check out the site but if you have any difficulties in ‘seeing’ it after 48 hours of this message, please contact us on john.feispix at gmail.com.

- Is velvet hotter to dance in than satin? -- Wondering, Tue, Dec 16 2014, 5:44:15"
Buying our first new dress next year. While velvet has a beautiful rich look I'm wondering whether it will be noticeably hotter to wear compared with dd's current satin dress?

- As a rule, yes, velvet is hotter than satin. (NT) -- Velvet is a lot heavier too. Depends what kind of look you are after., Tue, Dec 16 2014, 19:10:40"
- Traditional cotton velvet, panne and stretch velvet can all be heavy and hot but most dressmakers now generally use micro velvet or similar which is lightweight and much cooler to dance in (NT) -- ., Wed, Dec 17 2014, 6:32:01"
- My dd has had both and has never complained that one was hotter than the other. As the poster above said, the velvet used today is much lighter, go with the fabric that gives you the colour you are after and don't worry which fabric that is. (NT) -- -, Thu, Dec 18 2014, 5:34:29"
- My dress is a very thick velvet and I find it really hot. However, it looks wonderful on stage and I just take it off following each dance to keep cool. It's really not that bad, just not optimal in summer. (NT) -- Don't let me put you off having velvet though, as my dress is exceptionally thick, and not new, so they probably maker it far lighter and cooler now., Fri, Dec 19 2014, 7:39:24"

- Grade Exams... -- idea, Wed, Dec 10 2014, 11:08:54"
I saw the discussion below about Grade exams. I know that in my own State, we had grade exams just over a year ago and there is another Exam coming up early next year.
I have also seen posts both here and on FB over the months from people in other States mentioning they have done exams, but always "after the fact"...
There seems to be no way of knowing if exams are coming up, other than hearing from your teacher. As an older dancer looking at the TCRG, I would really like to do these exams, and sooner rather than later. I'd therefore consider looking at exams held interstate.
It would be fantastic if AIDA could actually publicise dates of upcoming exams in ALL states, similar to how they do with the Feis calendar. That way if exams were being run in conjunction with a feis, or it was convenient for a dancer to travel to them, we would actually KNOW they existed and be able to plan accordingly!

- Halloran Dance Concert 2014 -- Kate Halloran, Fri, Nov 21 2014, 19:24:48"
The concert this year is on Friday the 12th of Decemeber at Sutherland Entertainment Centre.
There are lots of great items and plenty of entertainment. Our musical theatre students are doing Grease for the opening. The major ballet this year is Aladdin. The junior contemporary students are dancing to music from Frozen and the senior contemporary are doing an amazing routine to 'Bang, Bang my baby shot me down'. The Irish this year ranges from traditional items to items danced to music from well known movies and stage musicals such as 'Matilda'. There are also plenty of other tap and jazz performances too.
The compere this year is Nathan Foley who was part of the original High 5 group.
Tickets are limited and are available for purchase on the night. If you would like to organise tickets prior to the concert just send me an email and I will organise that for you.
It looks to be another great night of entertainment.
Regards,
Kate Halloran

- The quality I have seen has been perfect. Not sure on the price, think they are about the same as an overseas dress dependng on the exchange rate, remember shipping and possible customs charges can ad to an OS dress.

- Our last two dresses have been made by Jillian. She is so accommodating and so full of wonderful ideas. She will work with you/your dancer to create a dress to love. So much easier and less stress than providing measurements to an o/s dressmaker and keeping your fingers crossed until your dress arrives. After-sales service with Jillian is great, too.

I also am over looking for outfits for school and dance school concerts.I dont want to move dance school as she is happy with her Tc but just wants to improve on her dance performance to be more competitive in competitions.

- Some of the best schools in Australia do amazing end of year concerts. It's obviously not hurting their results! (NT) -- ., Wed, Oct 15 2014, 14:28:12"
- Don't forget that for some schools the end of year concert is a major fundraiser so dancers can get to as many competitions as possible. It is also builds performance skills that translate to competiton and provides an opp for dancers to be recognised by the public for their achievements. (NT) -- ***, Thu, Oct 16 2014, 4:35:47"
- So am I understanding the last comment correctly. The dancers perform at an end of year concert and their comp fees are paid for as a result of this by the school? (NT) -- Dm, Thu, Oct 16 2014, 20:53:07"
- We fund raise for various reasons, a new school costume, nationals, a big overseas comp and the show is one of several events. We try and give every family some money towards getting to nationals, most times it's $100 each. If they decide to put it towards their entry fee or flight, that's up to them.

- Important message: World 2014 photos on FeisPix website -- FeisPix, Sun, Oct 19 2014, 2:16:09"
FeisPix is currently designing a modern up to date website to come online in January 2015. The new site will have an extended range of photo accessories including laser engraved photos on crystal, both 2D and 3D. Our aim is to offer the highest quality crystal pix at the most competitive prices. We invite you to 'compare the market' and let us know if it is cheaper elsewhere. But we will not compromise on quality.
Regrettably we will not be able to migrate the current batches of feiseanna and Oireachtais photos to our new site. That will mean, for instance, that the photos from major events in 2014 will no longer be available for viewing on our new website in 2015. If you intend to download photos from any of our events in 2014, including the World Championships in London, you are advised to do so before end 2014. The site will be starting with a clean slate of new events from January 2015. Please communicate this info to all your friends. The message will also be posted on Voy Irish dance message boards around the world.
