• INDA Feis -- Z, Mon, Jun 18 2018, 10:06:25"
  What a well run feis, very pleasant and helpful organisers and volunteers, fantastic warmup/practice floor. Just one suggestion: Sunday afternoon was a very long session, would have been so much better split into 15-17 and 18s and over so dancers don't have to be there for 6 hours.

  • How about next time you have a boys section instead of putting them together with the girls, especially 14 years and over. (NT) -- Great Venue !, Mon, Jun 18 2018, 13:17:25"
    • I have to agree. Love watching the boys dance but they shouldn't be in the girls section. It's a different technique and can't be judged fairly against the girls. (NT) -- Just my opinion anyway., Wed, Jun 20 2018, 10:23:41"

  • Absolutely loved this feis, everything in it was so well run and organised! Only thing was the stage size and small buckle in the flooring, otherwise this competition is absolutely innovative! (NT) -- Dancer, Mon, Jun 18 2018, 21:41:00"

• There seems to be no competitors at this years feises for the new Brosnan school. Is that because all their students have been poached or transferred from other schools? -- I don't believe their all beginners not ready to dance yet., Sun, Jun 17 2018, 0:18:15"

  • Where is this school? (NT) -- Not heard of it..., Sun, Jun 17 2018, 1:51:25"
  • As a new school with or without transfers it’s an extremely hard time! These two work very hard to show a standard to represent themselves.... obviously you are on this page as part of the Irish dance community so for a new school what they would they would really need from the community would be a bit of support!! (NT) -- Haylea Jaye, Sun, Jun 17 2018, 3:29:20"
  • What a strange post, what does it matter? Not everyone wants to compete. It's no business of yours what other people do. So what if they have transfers? Mind your own business, they will feis when they want to. (NT) -- -, Sun, Jun 17 2018, 10:45:14"
  • It may seem strange to you, but what I find strange is how a brand new school can attract so many transfers, and the best students from other schools. (NT) -- They can't compete because they are on the 6 month ban., Sun, Jun 17 2018, 23:11:08"
    • But again, so what? Dancers should be able to go to whatever school they want. Why does it matter to you so much? Let it go, if they are happy, it shouldn't be a problem for anyone else. (NT) -- -, Mon, Jun 18 2018, 9:27:08"
  • They’re ready to dance when they think they're ready to dance, not when you think they are ready. (NT) -- New school let them set up. They might not even want to compete this year., Mon, Jun 18 2018, 9:53:41"
    • It's not that they're not ready, they're not allowed to dance because they are all on the 6 month ban. (NT) -- K., Tue, Jun 19 2018, 11:17:31"

• Hi there... Just wondering if anyone knows the rules about how long an Aussie dancer can compete overseas and still be eligible for Nationals? -- Curious, Sun, Jun 10 2018, 19:37:28"
  [ Post a Reply to this Message ][ Edit | View ]
  
  Replies:
  • Every Australian should be elgible to compete at Nationals. What a ridiculous idea that any Australian wouldn't be eligible to compete at their own Nationals. Which Nationals should they compete at? (NT) -- Beat them on the stage!, Sun, Jun 10 2018, 20:52:42"
    • Please, there is no need to be so aggressive. It was just a simple question regarding the rules. Perhaps I should have phrased it differently. I was just wanting to know if there were rules around Australian dancers competing with overseas schools and then returning home to compete at nationals? (NT) -- Something to consider for people wanting to travel :), Sun, Jun 10 2018, 21:30:32"
      • Please, there is no need to be so disingenuous. (NT) -- X, Mon, Jun 11 2018, 0:15:00"
  • Need to be registered with a AIDA at close of entries. So you'd have to be dancing in Australia at that time. (NT) -- Not sure how associations would impact on this. I.e. if your school has a formal association with OS school., Mon, Jun 11 2018, 0:26:58"
    • Not sure if this is correct. I was told my child was unable to enter unless they were in Australia at the close of entries. Even though they were registed with AIDA at the beginning of the year. (NT) -- ., Mon, Jun 11 2018, 10:00:22"
      • Dancing in Australia at close of entries would mean registered with AIDA under an Australian school. don't wanna penalise Aussie dancers for training OS but there needs to be a time limit to make sure OS dancers don't sign up with Aussie schools last minute to enter. (NT) -- it is what it is. you'd have to be registered as dancing under an Aussie school by Jul 18, Mon, Jun 11 2018, 11:13:44"
        • It's not always a case of signing up at the last minute. Some times they just move back home. (NT) -- ..., Mon, Jun 11 2018, 21:13:15"
  • If they can’t compete then that’s just stupid. If you are Australian why can’t you compete at Nationals. Don’t use the excuse that’s its unfair as every other sporting athlete train overseas where there are better facilities and competition. Sometimes people are forced to move OS due to circumstances, so why should the be restricted. (NT) -- Training OS doesnt necessarily make champions, you still have to have the talent and dedication, Mon, Jun 11 2018, 13:02:47"
    • You can discuss fairness until the cows come home but the rules state the cut off to be registered with an Australian school is Jul 18. -- more inside, Mon, Jun 11 2018, 15:48:48"
  • Although some do not move OS due to their own choosing, you would be blind if you did not recognise that it has lately become a 'trend' to train OS for the experience, opportunities etc. Many make the decision to train OS, rather than in aus, so there should be no complaining about being unable to compete in aus championships. Besides, there are an extremely large amount of feises and championships OS so you would hardly be missing out on chances to compete. People from other countries cannot compete at aus nationals, so if you are training OS, you should be unable too. (NT) -- Disagree all you like., Tue, Jun 12 2018, 20:15:52"
    • Absolutely disagree! What possible reason could there be to stop them competing? (NT) -- All Australians should be automatically eligible to compete in Australian Nationals, Tue, Jun 12 2018, 20:28:30"
      • Nothing is stopping them from competing so long as they follow the rules of the championship - being registered (training) with an Australian school at the time entries are due. (NT) -- Many dancers do come back from OS to compete. Always great to watch them., Tue, Jun 12 2018, 20:39:14"
      • the nationals are supposed to be a closed competition if you are training overseas for the majority if not all of the year than you should be ruled out. (NT) -- same thing applies with Irish nationals. it is not about 'oh but I was born in Australia' it is where you are training and who you are registered with, Tue, Jun 12 2018, 20:43:53"
        • Why? What is the reason for ruling them out? (NT) -- Makes no sense whatsoever, other than reducing the competition., Wed, Jun 13 2018, 0:29:38"
          • Because if you live and train overseas, you are an overseas dancer and not allowed to dance at the Australian Nationals. Choose one, either you live and train here or you live overseas. There has to be a line in the sand somewhere or you will get people born here but living overseas, coming back every year, dancing and leaving again. (NT) -- -, Wed, Jun 13 2018, 9:23:34"
            • Exactly. (NT) -- Live overseas but fly home do Nationals. The rules are there for a reason, Wed, Jun 13 2018, 9:25:42"
            • And why is that a problem? Because training overseas makes them better and harder to beat. It is a rule made to restrict the competition. (NT) -- Strive to be better or eliminate the competition?, Wed, Jun 13 2018, 10:17:56"
  • Just another stupid CLRG rule. If you have an Australian passport than you should be able to compete at your Nationals, shouldn't matter what school you're at. Those who say they shouldn't be allowed are usually the first one's to cry when their daughter is given such an opportunity to live and train overseas. (NT) -- The more Aussies at Nationals the better the competition, Wed, Jun 13 2018, 10:06:42"
    • Lots of Australian schools seem to be associated / twinned with UK and Irish schools, so can the dancer be registered with their Aussie School and train in Ireland under Association ? Is that how it works ? Also I guess if the dancer is living in Australia for more than 50% of the year, they reside in Australia. Plus they may be overseas on a visitor visa so do not live there.. (NT) -- Legally, Wed, Jun 13 2018, 10:34:33"
  • What aussies won’t make it back for the nationals -- Just curious, Thu, Jun 14 2018, 20:12:08"
  • So what if a dancer lives here but their teacher lives overseas? (NT) -- Xxx, Mon, Jun 18 2018, 9:21:48"
    • The teacher must be available regularly to teach here, if not who is teaching the dancer ? If its a non TCRG stand in , then they should not be dancing in local competitions. Local schools could join up with overseas schools - didn't Creer do that recently ? (NT) -- No Idea really., Mon, Jun 18 2018, 16:31:38"
    • The teacher would need to be registered with the state branch and national branch. It would be a rare situation that they would be registered in Aus. if living elsewhere. (NT) -- -, Mon, Jun 18 2018, 19:52:18"
  • Dancers have to qualify in their country of residence , according to clrg. Not country of their teacher. (NT) -- Sbc, Mon, Jun 18 2018, 21:18:33"
    • And according to the Australian Government, you are resident if you have spent more than 6 months per year in Australia. (NT) -- For Tax Purposes, not sure about AIDA., Tue, Jun 19 2018, 10:14:29"

• The AIDA NSW website has announced an accommodation package available for the State championships. This information is useless if we don't know what days to book.

• Alleged ‘Re-styling’ Ban -- Curious, Tue, May 29 2018, 2:11:18"
  Can anyone explain the difference between the 6 month so called ‘restyling’ ban for dancers changing schools (therefore unable to compete etc etc) against there being no ‘restyling’ ban on dancers when a school closes or splits?
  Surely if it’s a supposed ‘restyling’ reason it shouldn’t matter if the dancer leaves a school of their own accord or the school closes. It seems somewhat one sided.

  • Haha yes, they can spin it however they like by giving it a passive name, but we all know that it is a ban designed solely to discourage people from moving schools and a punishment when you do. We had no ban in ACT the whole time my dd danced and I believe there was no ban in QLD either and it worked fine, never a problem and the TC gave to go ahead to feis when they thought a dancer was ready. TC can do whatever they like with the knowledge that no matter how badly they treat you, if you leave it's you who suffers, not them. It's a punishment and (NT) -- nothing more, Tue, May 29 2018, 9:41:12"
    • I read somewhere recently that a London mum took CLRG to court over a six month restyling ban and lost the case. https://www.rte.ie/news/courts/2017/1108/918456-ella-mccarthy-irish-dancing/ (NT) -- follow URL, Tue, May 29 2018, 10:02:29"
      • Yet to be tested under Aus. Law: its not a ban or restyling period but a Prohibition of Service (in my opinion) AIDA/CLRG & its members (teachers/businesses) collude to exclude the child from AIDA/CLRG competitions for 6 months; notwithstanding the child having 1) formally registered with AIDA/CLRG & 2) paid the annual fee in order to compete in AIDA/CLRG feis for the calendar year. CLRG/AIDA don't even issue pro rata refunds (NT) -- of the reg.fee for the prohibition of service period *they* impose & no mention of any of these 'consequences' of moving to another school (within the same org, mind you) on the registration.form!, Wed, May 30 2018, 2:19:10"
    • Agreed. Some teachers use this to their advantage, and bully away fully well knowing a committed dancer can’t leave lest they forgo comps. It’s exceptionally one sided. (NT) -- OP, Fri, Jun 01 2018, 13:04:52"
  • Though isn't it if you move a far enough distance away, there is no ban? (NT) -- Only local? Or did I dream that?, Tue, May 29 2018, 10:29:24"
    • There was a "significant distance" rule that meant no ban if you moved far enough away, not sure if that's still a rule or not. As the OP said, it is ridiculous that if your school closes and you get a free transfer to a new school, there is no ban, so how do those dancers not need "restyling" but others who move schools do? So silly. (NT) -- -, Tue, May 29 2018, 13:01:23"

  • My daughter's school closed down so she had no choice but to change schools, so why should she be penalised. In other circumstances you have a choice. (NT) -- Mum, Tue, May 29 2018, 15:38:01"
    • You don't always have a choice, schools change, different people arrive, TC attitude changes, kids get bullied by other dancers, class timetable changes making it impossible to attend, should those dancers be punished? No, your daughter should not be penalised because her school closed down, no dancer should be penalised because they want to go to a different school. Where else in life are you penalised for changing a service provider? Imagine if you wanted to change from Telstra to Optus but the penalty was changing ISP means you have to go 6 months on dial up speed.. ridiculous, yes? (NT) -- -, Tue, May 29 2018, 16:02:41"
    • If her school closed down then you should have been notified of a one month free transfer to a new school without penalty (NT) -- Check with your state head if that's the case, Wed, May 30 2018, 1:55:50"
  • Explain why Trad Sets can't be danced - no restyling needed there. What kind of black hearted souls punish small children for their parents' consumer choices?

    • Its Irish Dancing, not professional football or the like! (NT) -- And even then...no ban!, Wed, May 30 2018, 2:20:16"
    • And once again, why should a child be punished for this? If anyone should be punished it should be the person doing the poaching. When there was no ban in ACT there were almost no transfers between schools, I can think of three, maybe four in 15 years. People don't take transferring lightly, there has to be something seriously wrong for this to happen so why would a TC want to keep a seriously unhappy family in their school anyway? is it not better for everyone, family and TC, if they move on? It's just spiteful to punish the child stuck in the middle. (NT) -- -, Wed, May 30 2018, 8:59:19"
      • Sometimes though there really is not something seriously wrong and people just like to change. I have no set opinion on any of this but looking to the other side.....when a teacher puts blood, sweat and tears into a child and then from nowhere with out any notice they transfer just because they want a change, it can be very disheartening. In some states like NSW, Melbourne etc there are lots of different schools and choices to move between. ACT is very small in comparison. (NT) -- Just another thought. Every situation is different so one set opinion on this does not really sit right., Wed, May 30 2018, 9:24:46"
        • And sometimes “teachers” who have nothing to do with students, don’t attend classes and show no interest in competition or results, are surprised when students leave. If the teacher is not committed to their own dancing school and then why should anyone else be! (NT) -- DM, Wed, May 30 2018, 10:15:57"
        • The ban is silly beyond words & no amount of semantics/mental gymnastics could come up with a scenario that justifies an organisation like CLRG/AIDA banning children from competing for simply moving to another dance school. (NT) -- 6 months is longer than many professional athletes doping or cheating bans. Gross overreach and just plain ugly of them to target the kids in order to nurse the bruised egos of teachers/businesses., Wed, May 30 2018, 11:09:29"
  • Outdated and archaic practices for what is essentially and predominantly a children's sport. One which is meant to be fun for them but is filled with more politicos than many other sports and dance forms. Change needs to occur but it won't as those that can change it don't want to as it covers and protects their own ar*es and ultimately that is all they care about. (NT) -- DM, Wed, May 30 2018, 12:27:28"
  • I am a dancer and requested my parents allow me to transfer. My previous tcrg was clearly not interested in me. She had a champion. She thought we were stupid enough to think she cared. She clearly did not. I was glad of the restyling period. It gave me time to settle, focus on new teaching styles and new material. I have the most beautiful relationship with my new tcrg and I am a different dancer. Can not wait for the next part of this journey. (NT) -- Happy Dancer!, Wed, May 30 2018, 13:28:59"
    • How beautiful - good luck to you. I hope you do well. (NT) -- Long time dance mum., Thu, May 31 2018, 15:59:38"
  • It's to discourage studio hopping; however, it's a welcome period as it gives the dancer time to settle in, learn new steps, make friends and become part of their new school. (NT) -- long timer, Thu, May 31 2018, 11:47:20"
    • They can settle in, learn new steps, make friends and become part of their new school by going to comps. (NT) -- X, Tue, Jun 05 2018, 15:13:47"
  • The down side is that schools are stuck with families who are no longer committed to the school and causing havoc but won't leave because they don't want to miss state/nationals. (NT) -- wud be best for everyone if they cud just go, Thu, May 31 2018, 12:28:46"
    • I don't think that either teachers or families are particularly trapped. Teachers can reject students and families can walk. I support a discouragement of school hopping but also think 6 months is too long in our short Australian season. I don't think it is fair for a student to jump from one school to another and then compete at states a week later on behalf of the new school. But I do think that a shorter period of maybe 3 months would be a more reasonable transition time. (NT) -- DM, Sun, Jun 03 2018, 2:33:41"
      • As long as the dancer isn't dancing the former school's proprietary choreography it shouldn't matter. If it's a restyling ban why should the children be barred from competing in trad sets or dances which their former teacher never taught them in the first place.

      • I cannot apologise enough for those people that missed out on the T-Shirt on the day, we are working very hard to get these out to those dancers as a priority.

• NSW needs some new Adjudicators. Just got the latest entry form and it has nother judge we've danced infront of this year. Thats multiple compeitions in NSW that are using judges who have already judge in NSW this year. Do we have a judge shortage? are competitions not profitable enough to get a judge from interstate? Some new faces in the juding chair would be good. -- DM, Mon, May 21 2018, 15:11:30"

  • If you are referring to the Fleadgh Cheoil competition,our choice of Adjudicator was based on her impeccable and unquestionable history within the Australia Irish Dance community. We feel privilaged that she accepted our invitation, but if you are uncomfortable with our choice feel free to contact me at any time and I will try to address your issues .Posting your name would be a starty (NT) -- Gerry Ellaby, Mon, May 21 2018, 18:10:19"

  • I dont know about everyone else but most of the time i enter comps for stage experience, i think its a great opportunity to get up and perform in prep for state and nationals!! -- Senior dancer (:)), Mon, May 21 2018, 18:44:53"
    • Second that^^ we might be getting a little too political... maybe keep it to dancing (NT) -- interested and excited about this new feis - count me in!, Mon, May 21 2018, 18:48:19"
      • But different Judges look for different thins. Some have a preference for timing, some for posture, some for turn out etc.etc. Its good to get a different view from different judges . Just look at results from States - three judges with three different opinions, They rarely agree on a winner. (NT) -- Mix it up a bit., Tue, May 22 2018, 16:20:59"
  • More time spent practising and less time worrying about the judges would serve you well (NT) -- Focus on what you can control, Tue, May 22 2018, 8:36:22"
    • Yes, at local level the judging cant be taken too seriously. Just dance for fun and wait until States and Nationals to get different adjudicators, or go to one of the bigger interstate comps with multiple judges. (NT) -- Local comps are just for practice, Tue, May 22 2018, 9:37:55"
  • How about you go interstate to compete if you're so concerned about adjudicators. Just because results don't go your way doesn't mean the adjudicators are wrong. (NT) -- I think that's what you're implying with this post. They get it right 100% of the time in a local Deus., Tue, May 22 2018, 10:06:44"

      • You are not allowed a different opinion here. ( apparently ) It's pretty much 'agree with us or bugger off' I'm afraid. (NT) -- whats the point, Tue, May 22 2018, 11:40:56"

• Censorship and comments -- DM, Fri, May 18 2018, 12:12:56"
  Moderator, there's too much censorship here!! Either this is a message board or a discussion board. Agree completely about personal opinions that name dancers specifically, however opinions that promote discussion, without directly naming (offending or anything derogatory) individuals and/or their schools and teachers, should be welcomed. Just my opinion!! I'm all for celebrating the beautiful dancers and dancing that we see in Australia, but comments should also reflect the diversity of opinion as viewed by dancing families. Most is overwhelmingly positive, but there should be the opportunity to discuss, respectfully, areas that need improvement, with positive suggestions.

        • No not the person censored or the person who started this post. Just fed up with people not being allowed to have different opinions. You were rude and dismissive to the original poster when you said this post isnt even needed and then implying they aren't sensible. (NT) -- And to me with your "Bit touchy are we?", Mon, May 21 2018, 11:51:28"
          • It's funny how a post gets gets sensored and immediately someone posts a message about to much sensorship. Coincidental? I think not. So the OP was upset at her post being deleted. (NT) -- Just my opinion, which might be different to yours., Tue, May 22 2018, 11:13:12"

    • Which is why every Feis should have at least 2 Adjuducators (NT) -- keep it fair, Mon, May 07 2018, 14:48:19"
    • Alot? are you serious? (NT) -- Maybe 1 or 2 unexpected, but I thought results were spot on., Mon, May 07 2018, 17:55:37"
  • I don't think the comments above about the results were meant to be a personal attack on any of the girls mentioned. The results were all over the place yesterday and everyone there knew it. Personally I wish the results were unexpected because the adjudicator had a preference for a different style or element to the norm but the placings were so random it's hard to work out what she was looking for. While I agree with Gerry that Miss Jan is an icon and we owe her a lot there is definitely a need for her to enlist more help when she is running a feis. (NT) -- Room for improvement, Mon, May 07 2018, 15:04:00"
    • I'm sorry but it is an attack on the kids. You are merely a Mum with an opinion without any dance taining let alone experience to adjudicate. You can not expect the same people to constantly win, some girls blossom late, while others win everything at a young age then never to place highly again in their teens. It has always been like this, it takes a one in a million talent to be successful at all ages throughout their competitve years. It's a new year, get use to seeing new faces on the podium. (NT) -- Go complete your ADCRG then you can have a legitimate opinion on placings., Mon, May 07 2018, 16:54:22"
      • Placings -- DM, Mon, May 07 2018, 17:02:39"
        • At the end of the day a placing is just a placing. It doesn’t define who’s going to do the best throughout the year. It’s great to see some new faces on the podium, it gives everyone more motivation for the other comps throughout the year ! (NT) -- DM, Mon, May 07 2018, 17:04:07"
          • Well said. (NT) -- Encourage not critisise, Mon, May 07 2018, 18:02:42"
            • criticise (NT) -- .., Mon, May 07 2018, 18:15:49"
      • That's a harsh response to my comment. I wasn't the person who made the original comment mentioning people by name - which has now been deleted. For the record I hate the fact that the same people always win and I love to see a change in the people on the podium . My daughter was someone who actually benefitted from the judging yesterday so I don't have an axe to grind. But there was a lot more chatter than usual in the room about inconsistencies in the judging from warmup to premiership and quite significant changes in position from one to the other. (NT) -- Change at the top is good - except when it's at the expense of technique and timing, Mon, May 07 2018, 19:22:20"
        • Sorry if I sound a bit harsh, but I'm just sick of parents who think they know best. I don't think most parents knew who the adjudicator was, if they did they would just keep their mouth closed and let her do her job. (NT) -- Even at Nationals where there are 6 adjudicators there is still talk about placings., Mon, May 07 2018, 20:05:13"
          • There will always be talk about placings because it is subjective, as can be clearly seen with differences between judges. Everyone is entitled to their opinion and they are all valid but only the judges matter on the day. (NT) -- Remember when people were allowed different opinions?, Fri, May 18 2018, 11:32:56"
      • Everyone is entitled to their opinion, even "just a mum". Everyone needs to remember that the ajudicator on the day is the one that matters, but that doesn't make it right. It is subjective, different people will judge differently. (NT) -- Some days it goes your way and some days it doesn't., Mon, May 07 2018, 22:58:24"
  • Why are comments being deleted on this thread and others below? (NT) -- curious, Mon, May 07 2018, 18:15:15"
    • Because they named dancers and if you posted a reply to that post, it goes too when the original is deleted. Another was just plain disrespectful to a respected AIDA member. (NT) -- hth, Tue, May 08 2018, 0:00:04"

    • To be fair, in the past entries to this Feis have been by post with cheque payment and as Australia Post seem to take 10 days to deliver a local letter these days some entries could be late arriving. I believe this year though email entries were accepted which is a big improvement. (NT) -- Who uses cheques anymore ?, Fri, May 11 2018, 13:22:56"

• Does anybody have any hints to remove body odour from under arms of dress. The material is black velvet. The dress is covered in crystals so I assume it can't be washed or dry cleaned. -- ------, Tue, Apr 03 2018, 19:22:40"

• AIO Grades Info? -- help?, Sat, Apr 14 2018, 16:33:14"
  Does anyone know who the examiners are for the AIO Grade exams?
  
  I need to do Grades 9 & 10, and as per rules I have to have four different examiners for grades 1-10. So far I've only had 3 different ones so I need to ensure that my next examiner is one I haven't had before otherwise it's a waste of my time and money.
  
  Would be really helpful if more information was provided on these! They're now essential for those of us who want our TCRG but it's like getting blood out of a stone to find information.
