OK, did this page used to be here, and then get deleted? What's the deal? And does anyone want to help make more comprehensive articles on Irish dance topics? Reelmadredhead 20:45, 7 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

More locations

As of last year, there are now adult solo competitions - called "traditional sets". — Preceding unsigned comment added by 74.65.252.100 (talk) 15:28, 26 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I feel the introduction is centred around the American system and needs to be generalised more

If anyone wants to add in more information:

Ireland is split into the Munsters, Leinsters, Connaughts and Ulsters.

Britain is split into Scotlands, Southern, North-Western, North-Eastern & Midlands

Competition Structure

"While the majority of the competitions in the Oireachtas are solo events, schools can also bring teams to compete in eight-hand dance, figure choreography, and dance drama competitions." Dancers also compete in four-hand dance. (My daughter just competed with her 4-hand team in the Southern Region Oireachtas, so I know this to be absolutely true. :) — Preceding unsigned comment added by MareCat (talk • contribs) 03:31, 7 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

CLRG is too specific

While I do realize that CLRG is the main and biggest organization of Irish dance, there are many other federations that run Oireachtas. This article needs to be edited or added to as to reflect all organizations. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Mattpeng (talk • contribs) 20:52, 7 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Cleanup of Irish dance topic

I'm currently cleaning up the topic of competitive Irish dance. I am creating a new page for An Coimisiun, so hopefully that will allow me to tidy up this page and make it less US/CLRG centric. If you'd like to help, please drop me a line! Triptothecottage (talk) 09:57, 23 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]
