• I agree. Sad how little promotion there is. I have feisTV but can’t watch it at work, so I rely on dancing schools posting about their students results/recalls. With small sections and many at home, it would’ve been best for AIDA to post information on the facebook page or through the hashtags. AIDA has become too focused on the money side of things like photos and streaming but has yet to support the dancing community through this event. Years of no nationals and you can’t even feel the atmosphere anymore :/ (NT) -- …, Wed, Sep 28 2022, 20:44:55"
  • AIDA are the teachers - they are there supporting the dance community by running the championships and getting their dancers ready for the stage. I’m sure the results will be available on the AIDA website next week or so. I doubt a Tumblr page is drawing in new students. (NT) -- -, Thu, Sep 29 2022, 14:26:07"
    • Even if it doesn't attract new dancers, it may just give current dancers who may be relatively new to competing a taste of what they can aim for/show them what nationals is, I know we had no idea when we started. (NT) -- -, Thu, Sep 29 2022, 20:11:50"
  • No one gets paid to be there, except for adjudicators and musicians. AIDA have outsourced the role this year and that means people have to pay for the service. (NT) -- It’s unfortunate that people expect everything for free these days without considering the cost (time, flights, accommodation) to others., Thu, Sep 29 2022, 14:29:53"
    • I am sure that if AIDA had asked, there would have been someone, if not several people, who would have been glad to do updates on the AIDA facebook page. I am not expecting a full commentary, just a daily post or two, with what sections are on, how many competitors and a couple of photos from around the venue. Not asking much.

      • Pretty sure the council has had social media 'leader' and teams previously that could help them out, they've obviously not considered it or didn't think it's important to help market Irish Dancing full stop!! (NT) -- What do 'delegates' actually do anyway?, Thu, Sep 29 2022, 18:05:48"
        • Delegates do a lot of the organisation in the lead up to the AIO and National championships (fundraising, awards, timetabling, entries, ensuring team entries are valid, organise dancer packs etc.), they act as a go between for the state and National branches of AIDA. They also are up at all hours of the night attending CLRG meetings, doing their best to represent Australian interests. (NT) -- Again… all unpaid., Thu, Sep 29 2022, 20:19:18"
          • They may be so called voluntary or unpaid, but there are other expenses covered for them across the year, so definitely not completely out of pocket. (NT) -- Makes up for the 'all hours at night' I'd think,, Thu, Sep 29 2022, 20:42:35"
            • Yes, free travel and accommodation to meetings around the country, AIO and Nationals. Not saying that this isn't deserved for the work done, but there is some reward. (NT) -- -, Thu, Sep 29 2022, 20:59:52"

• They should definitely be doing the live commentary like they have always done. It was world class and so reliable (NT) -- There is nowhere to find out actual information about this comp. Ridiculous., Wed, Sep 28 2022, 23:18:38"

• If you have Instagram, follow as many schools as you can find as many of them are posting photos. Does anyone know how big the sections are? (NT) -- --, Thu, Sep 29 2022, 14:52:00"

• FeisTV doesn't allow to purchase a pass for a single day, $40 is a bit steep if you aren't going to be using it each day, or at least more than 1! (NT) -- More options for 2023 please!!!, Thu, Sep 29 2022, 17:59:02"

• Is there anywhere to see results? (NT) -- Haven't time to watch so don't want to pay, Fri, Sep 30 2022, 9:24:27"
  • Haha nope. Non existent. (NT) -- Copy and paste, it’s not that hard., Fri, Sep 30 2022, 13:25:47"

• Really missed the live commentary this year (NT) -- FeisTV was good as a streaming service. But not as good as live comm for getting updates and a feel for the space and event, Thu, Oct 13 2022, 10:18:26"
