Yeah, they are.

Most likely you're with An Coimisiun, since that's what most schools in the US are. If your dance school goes to majors like Oireachtas and Worlds, then you're with An Coimisiun. But if they go to the Irish Open, then you're with CRN.

I'm with An Coimisiun. And I am glad I don't have to know how to spell it to be in it.

I don't know what's good or bad about it, it's just what we have here.

I do like knowing about the other groups though. I think An Coim. is one of the more "modern" groups, or at least that's how it seems to me. Some of the others seem more traditional and less into trends. I don't think one way is better or worse, I'm not saying that, but it's just an observation from things I've seen on the internet. I don't care what group it is, I just love the dancing!!!

Actually, I think an coimisiun is the oldest!

Then I'm in North America Feis commission. I didn't reilize that it was seperate from an coimisiun, though!

I'm in An Comhdhail
I like the way we don't have to qualify for our equivalant of the worlds, if we did i probably wouldn't have qualified because there are a lot of really good champ dancers in my age.
