stop stirring trouble! (NT) -- I think it is evident that some children do put in the work. I can think of at least 2 who have rarely been off the podium in any major for years and another 3 or 4 who never slip from top 10, 10:12:10 02/10/15 Tue

Apart from those two there is only one more IMO. (NT) -- what is going to happen when they two retire? Do the TCS not have it? Or are the parents not as pushy?, 11:55:09 02/10/15 Tue

Think TC's have their favourites and they work them hard but are not that interested in anybody else. There are some really good younger dancers coming up that just don't get the attention they deserve from their TC's. (NT) -- DM, 14:51:15 02/10/15 Tue
- I just think this region doesnt have the work ethic. I dont think the TCs can be bothered being honest. (NT) -- All other regions appear to be producing stars. Scotland isn't. FACT., 16:32:01 02/10/15 Tue
  - I think to say it is the teachers is unfair. i know the 2 schools I have danced with worked me to the bone but I didn't have the desire to win. (NT) -- When you look at total number of Scottish open dancers and % in top 10 it is probably equal to the % of English, irish and American. Our schools are tiny by comparison, 19:06:48 02/10/15 Tue
    - I dont agree. I think these people that are TCs in Scotland just think they can do whatever they want, when they want. None of them are very good, with the exception of one. But they will keep on living in fantasy land. (NT) -- Worlds coming to Glasgow next year....teams galore. Keeping the masses happy. No thanks. Sub standard dancers, becoming teachers. Does not work., 23:03:52 02/10/15 Tue
      - But 3 schools in Scotland have produced world champs, not to mention numerous WMH and top placing dancers (NT) -- It could very well be the lack of serious commitment from dancers/parents and a lack of real hard work outside the studio? 1 is dominating right now but don't take away from the others, 23:36:30 02/10/15 Tue
        3 schools really? Really? Suppose so, but not actually taught from this school. In reality where is the next World Champ coming from? There aren't even teams any more, so many have upped their game, can't see things improving any time soon. (NT) -- Not on my count. Associations and tantrums my darling., 23:51:31 02/10/15 Tue
        It's like they can just get them to a certain point....they can't push these kids to the point where others can. The point where they become Major winners. (NT) -- We know what these Champs do to get there, but just seems we can't quite reach there. Reach for the stars darlings!! And Bring it all back to you!!, 11:06:14 02/11/15 Wed
