Subject: Curious about the differences between the orgs

CLRG dancer considering switch. It’s difficult to tell the difference between all the organizations in the header from the websites. Are all of them still active, since some of the links don’t work? Which are the biggest and most competitive? I’ve heard some of them ban certain tricks for beginners or certain tricks more generally? Do all of them allow senior ladies to compete (21+) or are some only for children? And is it hardshoe, softshoe, contemporary set at majors? Totally clueless and don’t know where to start.

Scroll down, someone provided a helpful answer to this last week. They would probably all claim to be the best and most competitive. CLRG rotten now. (NT) -- It will come down to where you live and what's available., 00:34:19 05/06/25 Tue
WIDA -- M, 03:39:56 05/06/25 Tue
- But there weren't many competitors in each of the competitions so it's pointless (NT) -- Standard not great in WIDA either, 05:57:26 05/06/25 Tue
  - WIDA - far more adults than anyone else. CRDM had 25ish senior over 23. (more) -- wida/crdm, 06:19:19 05/06/25 Tue
WIDA standard is poor (NT) -- Eva, 06:18:42 05/06/25 Tue
- WIDA don’t have enough events during the year (NT) -- Local Feis adult championship numbers are poor and off putting, 14:10:43 05/06/25 Tue
All are fairly different, have a read of rules on their websites and see locations near you (more) -- open platform, 06:35:50 05/06/25 Tue
- meant to say you won't get CLRG numbers outside of it. Open platform is growing and is much less toxic - very friendly and especially good for adults (NT) -- open platform, 06:38:01 05/06/25 Tue
- Sorry what is barging? (NT) -- OP, 15:36:27 05/06/25 Tue
  - Getting to the front in a deliberately forceful way - crowding out the other dancer. Not uncommon in CLRG but less than it was (NT) -- Always obvious to a judge, 23:53:54 05/06/25 Tue
