In reply to: Some schools jumped ship bc to avoid being caught up in it after CLRG. (More) 's message, "OP senior dancer here. People claimed “cheating”, didn’t provide evidence just assumed" on 00:42:28 04/17/24 Wed

I have spoken with several members and ex members of OPIDF who have all confirmed the same thing. Results are fixed in favour of the owner's children who are shouted at and threatened to dance well. Teachers from the owner's school have made racist comments about their own dancers as well as being fat phobic, transphobic and homophobic towards other dancers and teachers.

Teachers were bribed to join OPIDF. Some didn't pay membership fees, some were able to enter their entire school to Worlds without qualifying, others were promised a globe in exchange for becoming members. This is very well known, just look at the dancers who entered their Worlds over the last 3 years versus who competed at qualifying events.

Members are regularly told that OPIDF is taking legal action against other organisations for "stealing their ideas" and yet no legal action is ever taken. They do this to manipulate members in to speaking out, because they are afraid that their dancers will be punished. Every teacher that has spoken out so far has been immediately banned from the organisation.

The remaining members they have are only there because they left other organisations previously and are afraid people will talk about them if they move again. Nobody wants to be written about on here. They are running the organisation in a way that is not sustainable.
