For those of you going to Orlando next month for the 2010 North American Championships, today the hosting region posted the official age splits. As is the norm, age groups that have more than 150 dancers registered have been split based on birth date within that year. The only groups not split are Girls U-8, Ladies U-19, and Ladies U-20.
Of note; in the past there has not been a separate Ladies U-19 group; the age groups jumped from U-18 to U-20. This year there is both a Ladies U-19 group and a Ladies U-20 group. The Ladies 20+ group has been divided as well, essentially to create a separate U-21 group.
This reflects a recent decision by CLRG to change the age categories beginning at the 2011 World Championships and All-Ireland Championships; there will be separate U-20 and U-21 categories. Since the North American Championships are a "qualifier" for the World Championships, the age groups in Orlando had to be split. It is my understanding that this will also be in effect at all regional Oireachtas in 2010 as well.
There is also new information posted today about used dress sales in Orlando. Hang your dress for sale for a $30 flat rate - or work a volunteer shift in the used dress room and hang your dress for free!
