Clarification of Recent CLRG Make-up Rules


Further to our blog post of January 28, Nora would like to bring to your attention the following clarification of the recent CLRG rules regarding costumes and make-up. Clarification has been provided regarding the use of tanner, as well as how the new make-up rule will be applied to U-10 dancers (solo or team) who are dancing in a higher age category.

Please note that tanner on the face is considered make-up and is thus not permitted; but leg tan is not part of the new rule.

From CLRG:

Rules Regarding Make-up (4.5 in CLRG Rule Book)
- Make-up will not be permitted for any dancer in the first two grades (Bungrad and Tusgrad or equivalent) up to and including the Under 12 age group worldwide.
(Note from Nora: Bungrad and Tusgrad are the equivalent of Pre-Beginner to Advanced Beginner).

- Make-up (including false eyelashes and tanner on the face) is not permitted for dancers, in either solo or team competitions, up to and including the Under 10 age group. Effective March 1 2014.

Clarifications as of February 3 2014:
- Both make-up rules refer to the age group of the competition, not the actual age of the dancer. For example, 9 year old dancers competing in a team that is entered Under 12 may wear make-up. Or at a feis where the youngest Open Championship age group is Under 11, then all dancers in that age group may wear make-up.

- Leg tan is not part of Rule 4.5.2
