The Irish Dancing Commission, a governing body known in Irish as An Coimisiún Le Rincí Gaelacha (CLRG), has appointed a former judge to investigate claims that prominent dance schools and teachers have rigged competitions, it emerged this week.

It is alleged that at least 12 teachers in Ireland and other countries conspired to ensure certain dancers scored highly in international tournaments, known as feiseanna. Dance teachers adjudicate dance competitions, from small, local affairs to international events.

The Irish Independent said in one case a teacher and a competition judge appeared to be exchanging sexual favours for higher scores. It quoted insiders who spoke of unusual scoring patterns at competitions and cosy relationships between teachers and judges.

This hits close to home.  Our oldest did Irish dance for a few years.  It was basically an adjunct to the Karen-controlled pageant world.  Ridiculous costs, completely uninteresting performances, huge "competitions" that consisted of entire weekends holed up in some giant B-level hotel in a town like Garland with hundreds of hysterically emotional tweener girls and a few dozen equally emotional tweener guys, most of whom were clearly gay, NTTIAWWT.

No photos, assholes.

Can you compare and contract girl Irish dancing to say girls travel volleyball?

I’m going to have to see a pic of the teacher exchanging sexual favors for good scores before I can make a decision on this one.

I wish I could, because I am quite confident girls travel volleyball would have been a whole lot more interesting.

Why?  Because he stole our "shirtless, in leather pants" look?  Don't worry -- you and I still own that look, he just borrows it.
