Dancers Attending College/University Far Away From Home
An Coimisiun has recognized that many senior dancers attend post-secondary school too far to attend classes regularly at their actual dance school.
As such, dancers will be allowed to participate in the class of a school near their Uni/College without creating an association conflict for both schools.
The only restriction is that the student may not be judged by the hosting teacher.
Teachers children attending University/College too far away from home are included in this ammendment.

Worlds 2010 Update
It is intended to run the event with rotating panels of five judges for solo events at next year's worlds, subject to receiving enough applications to adjudicate. The second-option will be rotating panels of three judges.
Entries will be handled on-line and teachers are asked not to wait until the last minute to submit them.
The Thistle Hotel in Glasgow has been selected as the main Headquarters. Rooms are still available (no phone bookings; online only).

Grade Exams
An Coimisiun offers Grade exams from 1-12, which measure proficiency in Irish dance. These was set up in part to offer something different for dancers who are less into the competitive side of dancing.
Passing the twelve exams will better prepare one for the TCRG/TMRF exam, which dancers are eligible to sit for in their twentieth year.
Dancers who earn a minimum of 71% on Grades 7-12 will be exempt from taking the dancing portion of the TCRG/TMRF exams, provided the take the test within five years of completing Grade 12.
Rule: Grade 11 and Grade 12 must be taken at different times and officiated by different examiners.
There will be a Grade Examination seminar at the IDTANA mini-convention in April (location to be determined).
