[> [> Subject: I think you're confused. The post below that you reference clearly states the the matter was tabled at a previous meeting so that it can be brought back up at the regional meeting in September. I assume that is why the OP asked "[does] anyone have a feel for how the vote will go?", because the vote happens next month.

[> Subject: OP, since you're "hoping for a wigless O", why don't you just go wigless/have your dd go wigless? It's not like they're mandatory. I don't think the entire region needs to go wigless to suit your preferences. We love the convenience of wigs but we don't try to impose our preferences on others, so why do you?

No need to control anyone else on my end- just would be pleased if the teachers in the region voted to ban wigs.

We all know that kids that go without wigs when others use them are sometimes seen as "not up to standard" or they don't "have the look" or don't look "polished"- so if other kids had a wig and mine didn't, my child would possibly be disadvantaged at larger competitions.

This is why I wouldn't choose to have my child go without a wig unless the region goes this way as a whole.

Also- this is about wigs...for children. No need to take it all so seriously. Life is too short to be so wound up. :)

[> Subject: I vote for wigless. If we leave it optional, judges remain free to judge on a dancer's hair-do and not their dancing.
