Author: Happens so often now it comes as an expectation to get something.
Subject: It’s not just Irish Dancing it’s happens in all sports nowadays. In my opinion it reduces the drive to do better and as you say work harder.
In reply to: Dancer now in UK 's message, "I have to say as someone who danced in the late 90s and early 00's this is disappointing. Sashes used to only be given to top three at states and nationals - To get a sash was a HUGE achievement - now looks like every feis is handing them out. In regards to medals - this was your prize - again back in the day the medal was your prize... in a premiership again only top 5 would get trophies. It's sad we now feel we need to over award - what do our children aspire to? I remember working for YEARS for a solo sash and it was such an award!" on Tue, Aug 02 2022, 19:17:59"
