Subject: Identifiers on dresses

What on earth is it with Australian dancers who have never recalled at the world championships getting globes on their brand new dresses. Especially embarrassing after these identifiers were meant to be banned, I don’t care if it doesn’t look like a globe a blue and green circle is still telling everyone the same message. Why spend thousands of dollars on a new dress just to embarrass yourself maybe in the hopes they can recall this time

Because if you can't beat them, join them! Many years ago an Australian dancer who had never recalled before had something similar on her dress and guess what? She recalled and I am pretty sure placed top 10 or close to it. Kids from overseas have all the lookalike globes and flames and you name whatever secret identifiers they come up with, so if that's the only way to get noticed, who can blame them. Better than spending thousands on a dress and being completely ignored because they don't recognise the dancer. If you think dancers are being judged fairly at Worlds, you are kidding yourself.

Honestly the sentiment of this post is that signifiers and favouritism should be reserved for those who already at the top. (NT) -- Why protect the bourgeoisie? If this is the kind of stuff that worries you, then either you’ve got it too easy or your priorities need some serious adjustment., Wed, Mar 04 2026, 16:53:52"
