To registered teachers and dancers:
At the An Coimisiun le Rince Gaelacha's AGM meeting held in Dublin on May 18, 2008 - a motion was proposed by the Irish Dance Teacher's Association of North America to rescind the "tights rule" that was to become effective January 1, 2009 for all dancers aged 19 and older.
After a full discussion, it was voted upon and approved that the rule be rescinded effective immediately.
It should also be noted that An Coimisiun, through its appointed Costume Committee, will continue to monitor and pursue the enforcement of required costume lengths at all Feiseanna and Major Competitions.

Three cheers for IDTANA having some sense in their heads, and three cheers for all the TCRG's who voted for this to be overturned. If I could find out who each one was, I would thank them personally.
Yay! No nasty tights for me. Poodle Socks FOREVER!!!!
