I know what you mean about the parents / starting late - I have the same problem! Just go for it. Sometimes when you're scared you just have to push through it, and you'll get there in the end. It'll...

I have the Eclipse because I have very wide toes, but I find that my little toe still pokes out of the gap between the lacing loops, if you get what I mean! They're fine at first but after about half...

Well, I can't get onto the survey cos it doesn't work for my computer (which hates me), so I'll just give you my opinion ;)

Thanks for your advice, guys ;) I'm carrying on with Irish until I go on pointe for ballet and then I'm leaving Irish. I know it's probably not what you all want to hear, ha ha, but my knees just...

I don't have a set yet, but I'm hoping to get King of the Fairies. I did ask my teacher, but I've been having a lot of knee trouble and may be leaving dance before I get to that stage ... I don't...

It's teacher's discretion, but they will usually say that you have to wait until you place. If they are positive it was an unfair judgement and you should have got it, they'll probably move you up.

A lot of shows prefer you to be a world champ, but I don't think they specifically say you must be - you just have to audition. Look on the websites and see what they say. If you prepare well enough...

I'm a really slow learner, I'm forever getting it wrong. Don't worry about it. You'll get there in the end. Just keep practicing ;)

I'm not quite sure what you mean. It's too heavy to dance in, is that what you're saying? I think you'll just need to practice in it a lot - there's nothing else I can suggest, really.

Making Decisions!

Does anyone else just hate having to choose between two things?

Like with me:

Irish dance vs ballet.
I love them both.
I did ballet training when I was younger, but I've been doing Irish dance for...

Wow, you practice so much! Well, I'm always dancing, up and down the corridors, but unless I've got a feis I don't actually set aside time to properly practice. I probably end up dancing at least...

When I went to see LotD, Ciara Sexton had red ones with one of her costumes and I was in love with them. Yeah, I wouldn't wear them for a feis because I'm not out to be ostentatious, but they'd be so...

I'm glad to hear it! I think too much of ID is about the clothes - it really annoys me. I've got a dress now, but I don't think it should be what they focus on.

I love my leg warmers. They make me feel happy ... partly because I know they're reducing the risk of me getting shin splints again! I only just got rid of the old lot! Ha ha :D
