- Please remember that when you say AIDA you are talking about our dance teachers, the same one's who gave up their weekend to host the championships. If there was a mistake, then yes, it will be disappointing for the dancers. However, please show some grace to the teachers involved. They are our teachers, not some elusive group of bureaucrats.

- In the 15 years they awarded 6 places and only 11 danced - how does that work (NT) -- Confused, Mon, Aug 14 2017, 10:18:40"
- Personally I think the number of qualifiers for the amount of dancers in some age groups is too many. Some States don't have as strong dancers as other States and for 5 to automatically get through makes the system unfair, weakens the World Championships and makes the numbers too large. Some age groups had around 200 competitors at the Worlds, how can one adjudicate on such a large number of competitors. The deserving ones will get missed. (NT) -- JMO, Mon, Aug 14 2017, 11:07:19"
- It is easy to work out, that's why it's hard to understand how they could get it so wrong. It happened in the 13yrs when they said the top 6 plus one recalled. Happened in many other age groups as well. (NT) -- Announced with great fanfare at the championships, then disappointment later for so many children.., Mon, Aug 14 2017, 16:44:10"
- Are you saying they announced kids as qualifiers then said they weren't afterwards. Those poor kids. (NT) -- Is this true, Mon, Aug 14 2017, 21:06:07"

- It doesn't matter how many were going. It is the achievement of qualifying that counts. There was a problem and it needs to be addressed so it doesn't happen again.

- Why have the number of places vs championship awards been changed at NSW Championships? -- X, Mon, Aug 14 2017, 9:09:03"
Significantly fewer places and significantly more championship awards. Is it just someone's whim? Hard for children to understand how they can be ranked higher than last year when they placed and then not place. Changes like this should be announced well before hand so kids are prepared. Often seems descision makers completely forget the children involved.

- Traditionally, the Sunday is reserved for the 'mini Feis' which the ADCRG candidates judge as part of their exam. From my experience, it was TCRG's doing their written paper and music test on the Thursday, then followed by dancing on Friday and Saturday. Some people had their teaching component and own personal dancing assessment on the Friday, but the majority had one on the Friday and one on the Saturday.

- Sadly when someone starts a trend others follow or have to out do that person, from super blinged outfits to taping shoes to exorbitant crowns.

- See so many Ready to Wear dresses from various designers that are cheaper than second hand dresses by same designers! (NT) -- Hmmmm..., Wed, Aug 02 2017, 20:30:02"
- That's bcause ready to wear dresses take a quarter of the time to make and usually using left over fabrics and sometimes repeated designs with only slight changes to make them different. No back and forth contact with the buyer, no frequent changes that take time to change design etc. Dressmaker can just whip up whatever he/she wants with no worry of pleasing a customer with a custom order. (NT) -- -, Thu, Aug 03 2017, 9:39:37"
- I realise that. But of course a buyer if they find a ready to wear dress that fits are going to buy that if its the same price as secind gand dresses that most likely have wear and tear (no mstter what the owner says). I've seen two secind hand dresses for sale that ready to wear - and they have put prices on them than are much more than what they paid. (NT) -- Personally I think anyone is crazy to pay over $900 for a second hand dress. Like a new car, once it leaves the show room the value drops immensely., Thu, Aug 03 2017, 12:17:05"
- A buyer will only pay what they feel is fair, but if they price a second hand dress to high, they won't sell it and it will sit unsold forever. $900 might be fine for a dress that was only $1200 of so to start with, but many dresses cost a lot more than that, especially when crystals, OS shipping, possibly import duty is taken into acccount. If someone has paid over 2.5K for a dress, there's no way you are getting it for $900 if it's still fairly new. (NT) -- -, Thu, Aug 03 2017, 12:31:33"

- If someone paid $1200 for a dress id be expecting it for less than $900. Ive sold a lot of things in my time, while you dont want to give things away but price so it sells quickly the longer it stays its gets stale and less likely to sell. A dress is just a dress no matter whocthw designer is or how many crystals it has on it and buyers dont care how much YOU were foolish to pay for it:) (NT) -- A second hand dress is still a SECONDHAND DRESS no matter what it cost, Tue, Aug 08 2017, 9:57:38"

- I would also like to congratulate the Australians who have been trained by their local teachers. It's a very uneven playing surface when these children who have spent most of the year in America etc then come home and claim the State and National trophies from the hardworking dancers whose parents can't afford for them to be trained overseas. It makes a mockery of the Australian Nationals being closed when so many local winners have trained OS. (NT) -- .., Sun, Jul 09 2017, 13:42:36"
- If they have been living overseas and competing under that schools name, they are not eligible to dance in our states and nationals. (NT) -- ., Sun, Jul 09 2017, 14:59:03"
- Just looking at last year's champions I don't see your so many OS trained winners. If they're Australian does it matter where they train. It's like saying it's unfair that a lot of champions have mothers that are also teachers. Life in general is not balanced, so good on them if parents can afford to get the best out of their children. You still need the same talent and dedication to get to the top. A mediocre child will never get there even if you send them to the best school with the best teachers. (NT) -- Just be happy for others, it's a nice trait to have :), Sun, Jul 09 2017, 15:07:53"
- Typical reaction. Is it so hard to recognise the amazin achievements of these kids? All of our dancers benefit from being exposed to higher level competition. (NT) -- It only improves the standard of our Nationals. The modern Australian way: bring everything down to the lowest common denominator., Sun, Jul 09 2017, 22:56:24"
- Overseas teachers are not any better than Aus teachers. My daughter trained OS because she wanted to experience life and dancing elsewhere. It's the best thing she's ever done at least for her confidence if nothing else. I'm sick of people trying to take away other's achievements by saying they got there because of the OS opportunity. My daughter has teachers here and on the other side of the world who work together to help her be the best dancer she can be. (NT) -- II, Sun, Jul 09 2017, 17:30:55"
- Why would an overseas TCRG be any better than an Australian TCRG. It'a ridiculous concept. Plenty of Australian TCRG's have outstanding results. (NT) -- NT, Mon, Jul 10 2017, 14:30:36"
- I have to agree I dont understand how it is fair to train overseas with overseas teachers and then come back and claim to train under the australian school (NT) -- two bites at the cherry!, Tue, Jul 11 2017, 19:27:32"
- Personally I think you should be able to train with whatever school or whomever you like. This been locked to one school is a ridiculous rule. (NT) -- JMO, Wed, Jul 12 2017, 7:19:54"
- So if a dancer goes to live/study overseas, they should just stop dancing? I really don't see why it is a problem, then when they return home to Australia, they go back to their original school. A teacher is a teacher, it really makes no difference what is written in the program under what school they attend. At least they are being open about it, they are associated with that school now and may even suffer under the association rule because of it in the future. (NT) -- No big deal., Wed, Jul 12 2017, 7:39:11"

- Unfortunately teachers are not able to travel internationally to be at every event with their students. Sometimes they work in cooperation with another school which allows young dancers to compete at a world class level. These dancers for the most part live, dance and train in Australia but do attend classes overseas of competing internationally. (NT) -- 888, Tue, Jul 11 2017, 23:34:37"
- If families are paying out to take dancers overseas shouldn't the teacher be there? Dancer has competed at many international comps and placed but ALL her Australian TCRGs attend (NT) -- NT, Wed, Jul 12 2017, 20:49:24"
- TCRG's generally try to attend Worlds or NANs when they have dancers competing but expecting teachers to be at every overseas major is extremely unrealistic due to the cost and time away from full time jobs etc. (NT) -- ., Wed, Jul 12 2017, 23:08:37"
- If you're paying. (NT) -- Have to be kidding., Thu, Jul 13 2017, 2:20:15"
- If teachers cannot attend overseas competitions it's understandable, when teachers are not attending Nationals and AIOs is when questions should be raised. If your dancer and your family are that committed to the sport, at a very minimum you expect the same commitment from teachers. (NT) -- DM, Thu, Jul 13 2017, 8:09:52"

- Yes they can do it via their bank branch or internet banking. You need to give them your account number, the name the account is held in, the address of your bank branch and your banks SWIFT code. This is the banks international BSB number, you can sometimes find it on the bank website, just type 'SWIFT code' into their search field, if not, call your bank and ask them, they will know what you mean.

- Photos on Facebook from The Pacific Belt Feis show little children looking like Marge Simpson. What in the name of God are they doing with great wads of hair built up on their heads. This obviously started with little bun wigs not being conspicuous enough on stage. The huge head pieces are ridiculous on little ones as well. Parents, don't get sucked in. They look stupid. -- .., Sat, May 27 2017, 20:21:17"

- Irish dancing is becoming more and more modernised as the year ago on and frankly if you don't like it there are plenty of other organisations that are taking the more "traditional" approach. If you don't like it join a different organisation instead of complaining about CLRG dancers and how they CHOOSE to look. (NT) -- DM (Get over it), Mon, May 29 2017, 11:27:05"
- You cannot mordenise Irish Dancing it is a Traditional Irish Dance form danced to Traditional Irish music that has been around for hundreds of years due to this fact not in spite of this. When was the last time you saw Sean O'Brien at a comp with a synthesia and electric guitar? If you want your child to wear short dresses go do Ice Skating or Ballroom dancing even Ballet dancers wear tights unfortunately these very short dresses are not flattering for everyone. (NT) -- DM, Mon, May 29 2017, 14:48:32"
- maybe they dont flatter everyone, so wear what flatters you and dont worry about others, my dds dress is extremely short but she has shot up several inchs and now it needs to be adjusted but thats our problem not anyone elses (NT) -- needs a brick on her head, Mon, May 29 2017, 22:03:01"
- Of course it can be modernised and has been and will continue to be. The world progresses and things change, not a lot you can do about it. The steps are continually evolving along with costumes. (NT) -- Things that don't progress die out., Wed, May 31 2017, 17:23:31"

- It was very tricky trying to follow results announced they way they were, and some places announced did not reflect the marks/points visible on screen. One set of results on Sat took forever to be announced as it was announced there was an "issue" and judges "deliberated" in the other room. It doesn't leave you feeling confident.

- I agree. Unfortunately I have seen this way too many times. One in particular dancer always forgets her steps or out of time and shuffles along, yet still continually places. It's so noticeable for everyone in the audience that it is embarrassing. Hmmmmm.....(NT) (NT) -- Starting to wonder why bother!, Mon, Jun 19 2017, 21:35:58"
- I just love how you instantly become an expert after a few years in Irish Dancing with daughter whilst these judges spend their whole childhood dancing, adulthood teaching then having to pass and adjudicating exam, seem to get it wrong. (NT) -- You're only guessing., Tue, Jun 20 2017, 8:09:35"
- Been in the game a long time and have to say the results at the INDA were all over the place. Some shocking results. (NT) -- DM, Tue, Jun 20 2017, 10:05:23"
- its starting to be a real joke how can adj be friends on FB With parents and go out and dine together (NT) -- lots of networking going on, Mon, Jun 26 2017, 19:28:36"
- Are you serious? As a parent of a dancer I have friends as adjudicators, teachers from other schools, parents from other schools and dancing kids from other schools. I love how this hobby of my daughter's has given me this opportunity to have these probably life long friends. Stop being so cynical and start being more social. It's a small community of Irish dancers here in Oz and if we were all to avoid each other where is the fun left for our kids. Remind yourselves its just a hobby, not the Olympics. (NT) -- Live life and don't worry about what others think., Tue, Jun 27 2017, 8:12:01"

- An observation re the priginal question. I thought it was interesting to see the feis recently where the AD had their back turned and only judged on what they could hear. It was very interesting to watch the video and see how badly some danced, out of time, missed clicks, muffled trebbles etc and dancers not placing at the top where the are used to being. (NT) -- -, Thu, Jun 29 2017, 7:38:30"
- Are you guys telling me you spend 10-15 years in dancing and not have developed any good friends. If your daughter one day becomes an adjudicator does that mean she has to de-friend any FB friends with dancing children. (NT) -- You guys are so distrustful of human integrity, Thu, Jun 29 2017, 8:06:14"
- 2017 Eire Dance Championships photo update -- Milton Baar, Mon, Jun 26 2017, 21:59:25"
All presentations plus Sunday Graded dancing photos will be online at www.swoose.net later tonight.
Unlike other photographers, we have to spend more time removing photos that some may consider to be inappropriate; these same types of photos are published by paid photographers for the CLRG Worlds, the NANs, the Australian Nationals and others.
It takes some time to go through them all to remove those that are out of focus, or that show a spectacular leap or kick, but where some bloomers or shorts can be seen. Removing the latter types of photos removes about 75% of the "spectacular" photos of dancers at their most athletic and graceful...which is why there are so few of those amazing photos on our site...
The lights on stage at the EDA were playing up so we have to try to colour correct and enhance the remaining photos, just so that something usable is there!
Consequently, it will be Tuesday night, at the earliest, when the photos are online. We trust you understand both our frustration at having to destroy so many amazing photos, and the extra time it takes to get the photos edited. When published, there will be approximately 10,500 photos for your viewing pleasure.

If you would like to include your photos please give them to Liz Deans and I will get them from her. Please include your name and date photo taken. Also if your photo is on Milton's site please advise him of Date/comp and photo number so he can produce high res photo. Please don't mention this to her as I would like it to be a surprise

- There are two NSW schools who are blatantly ignoring costume rules. Correct me if I am wrong, but in solo competition you are not allowed to wear any thing that identifies you with a particular school?? One school last year had identical solo costumes the only difference being the colour. It is obvioous they are all from the same school and everybody knows which school. This year another school has had made identical frilly black skirt and black top costumes. Again it is obvious that they are from the same school, and not to hard to work out which schoool. -- Adjudicators could also identify which school these dancers are from., Tue, May 23 2017, 16:16:22"

- Hopefully a timetable will be out soon. When it is can it be more specific than last year? Last year the 10-13yrs were listed as the last section of the day. My DD was in the 13yrs an we arrived at the correct time. The feis was running way over time due to late entries being accepted. Then they ran the 10s and 11s through in their entirety before they even started with the 11s and 12s. Those dancers had to hang around for hour and hours to start.

- So we are looking at changing schools at the end of this year, and considering which school may work for us. We live in the Richmond area and are considering how far is acceptable to travel regularly for lessons. Our IDD is 13 so we have to consider school homework etc. How far do you travel to dance class, what do you think is reasonable ? -- Interested to hear what other think., Wed, Mar 15 2017, 7:14:24"

- Key factors are what works for you and your family (siblings) your work, ability to transport your IDD without rushing, fit in homework etc. Number of dance classes per week etc. Only you can decide what will work for your family.

- We travel half hour but some kids in the class travel for an hour we live in the outer subs though and do not have lots of choice in schools. (NT) -- dm, Wed, Mar 15 2017, 11:43:32"

- Maybe also contact schools for class times. If classes end at 6pm and you have to travel over an hour home, it may be manageable, but if class ends at 9pm might make it too late if that makes sense. Even class start times will affect you if they start before you are able to get there in time. (NT) -- -, Sun, Mar 19 2017, 10:12:57"
- Out travel time to class varies between 1.5hrs and 2 hrs depending upon traffic, but getting home is a lot quicker, just over an hour in off peak traffic. Thank goodness its only twice a week. We leave home at 4pm and don't get home until just after 10. (NT) -- Not enough hours in the day., Mon, Mar 20 2017, 12:37:19"
- Some people burn their bridges with all the schools in the local area. we'e got dancers at our school who travel almost two hours cause they left the quit all 3 of the schools closest to them. (NT) -- do what works for you, Tue, Mar 21 2017, 10:17:32"

- Claddagh Feis - Beginners, Primary and Elementary -- Kate Halloran, Sat, Mar 25 2017, 14:31:08"
This is just a reminder that the entries for this feis close this Wednesday (29.3.17)
The entry form can be downloaded from the Aida Inc website. Online entries are accepted. Just send it to claddaghfeis@hotmail.com
The venue listed on the form will be changing due to the fact that is has just been shut down. The rain we have had over the past two weeks has caused significant damage and we are no longer able to use this venue. Once the confirmation of the new venue occurs I will let you all know.
Thanks,
Kate Halloran

- Dresses I saw were fine, in fact some of the new ones were amazing and I only saw one that was probably too short for the dancer and it was a pink and white one and may have just been borrowed for the day. And you know what its not my concern about the length its theirs! Couple of new Sew Irish dresses were just stunning, well done Jillian (NT) -- Love to see the latest creations., Mon, Mar 20 2017, 20:34:38"
