Thats so sad, and blatantly ageist! Still, I think the other posters are right, if your teacher can't value you for the good dancer that you are, its their loss! Where abouts are you? Why not consider trying some of the other organisations (I…

Hate to say this Emily, but this sounds suspiciously like Plantar fasciitis (this link has more details : http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmedhealth/PMH0004438/ I had this and I couldn't dance for about 6-8weeks - I had Physio, and now wear…

Your quality looks amazing! Is it true your troupe are all ex-Riverdance? If so, you can really tell you have show experience in the way you present your routines & your coordination as dancers. Everyone is exactly where they should be &…

I can't wait to see what your troupe can come up with next! Your rhythm & timing are just killer! From the video you posted, looks like Kimberly Wyatt really loved what you did, looking forward to hearing the judges comments. If you're…

Hi Vicky, I think the results will be on INSTEP, ´cause they did the results. Just have to be patient, I guess, ´till they make them public on their site. Thanks for your nice words and hope you have a wonderful Xmas time and happy dancing for 2012 :-)

Hi Vicky, hope you get everything sorted in time for the british open, im sure you will be just fine :-) on the whole open platform feis thing, CRG do wonderful feis' and there awards are fantastic too, everyone who dances in a championship recieves a trophy :-) maybe worthwhile considering them... they have a feis coming up on the 26th November in maynooth southern ireland and have a high number of adult competititors :-) also if your finding things disheartening not placing well in open maybe you should consider dropping back down into intermediate? and build up your confidence again :-D

 

on the subject of dancing schools maybe you should consider moving to a different class if your not getting enough out of it, you shouldnt feel guilty about it afterall you want to get the best out of your dancing experience... is there any schools around your area that are an open platform organisation?? maybe they would be better suited to you...

 

glad you have gotten your dress sorted, what colour style have you chosen for your new dress? look forward to seeing pictures of it when you get sorted :-) your really should put more pictures of your dancing up you know :-) id love to have a look :-)

 

good luck with returning to uni im sure you will enjoy it :-) im currently in the process of opening my 3rd dance class, so i will be running on a monday, tuesday and wednesday now so im a busy little bee at the minute lol! and my oldest son Jack started school last week so its been very hectic at home lol, wee lewis is also coming up to his 1st birthday 31st oct so im the process of sorting stuff for his birthday party, i just want something really special because of the circumstances (my hubbys dad the kids grandad died on the same day he was born) and have the main focus on celebrating :-) the plan is to have a wee party on the afternoon and trick or treating in the evening :-) the kids are lucky here as they are always off school on halloween as its a school holiday :-) so i plan on always making a fuss for him :-)

 

talk soon xxxx

Thank you for your comments about my dress Vicky :-) I love it too and I am so happy my mum is so talented!!

Hi Vicky,

 

thats no good is it... I've have trouble with paul keith dresses before also, i ordered a custom made dress and paid my deposit, then when i told them what i wanted they came back to me saying they didn.t have the fabric/couldn't get it... was very dissapointed, this went on for a few months then i requested my money back and got my dress made by ann ash/avoca celtic designs who was wonderful and made my dress just how i wanted it :-) just an idea one of my dancers got a dress made my ann just recently and i think it was in the region of £225-£275 (check out annmaries profile, its the black dress with a lime green and purple ruffled skirt) the workmanships is fantastic and it sits really well. I put all the diamontes on myself, we purchased them from ebay for under £10 and there is over 3000 5mm diamontes on the dress now. looks fab very simple but elegant for an adult dancer. hope you get your dress sorted, let me know how you get on.

hi vicky,

 

thats such a shame about your paul keith costume... hopefully you will get a new costume sorted, i noticed a lovely one on dance.net today that might be suitable, heres the link http://www.dance.net/topic/9607246/1/Dresses-Costumes/Beautiful-Black-Blue-and-White-Vale-of-Avoca-Designs-Dress-for-Larger-Dancer-Looking-for-Quick-Sale.html&replies=0 sure its worth a look :-)

 

hope the british open goes well for you, maybe you can get back across here in feb for the WIDA feis in southern ireland, would be good to see you again.
