Subject: I don't see an issue with social media posts, I'd rather that than teachers who encourage dancing agressively on stage with poor stage etiquette, as witnessed last weekend at QLD feis. One school in particular smiling assasins, big smiles but nearly knock you off the stage when dancing. Get yourself a good dentist if on stage with them cos they're likely to knock your teeth out! I hope next time adjudicators ring the bell or mark them down for their behaviour. Plenty room on stage for two dancers, no need for the bullying strategy.
In reply to: K 's message, "The amount of dancer promotion the past few weeks has been insane. I know it happens every year but this year it feels like it’s increased so much. So many schools posting photos of their dancers from the AIO…. Which was months ago….. to promote their dancers. Why not post the photos as soon as the AIO finished rather than a couple weeks out from nationals. I am all for celebrating dancer achievements, but don’t use those photos as promotion. Trophy hungry schools" on Mon, Sep 18 2023, 14:02:22"

  • Perhaps you don’t see an issue with social media promotion because a)you are the teacher doing the promoting or b)it is your child being promoted. By all means, achievements are to be celebrated. However, posting in such volume with countless collages of reaction photos, reaction videos, presentation photos, action shots etc. is not intending to merely ‘celebrate’. Smiling assassins, except for when you don’t win. Then results are buried. But then again, that is what conveniently timed throwback posts are for! (NT) -- Those ‘complaining’ about this blatant promotion often do have the results to promote but choose not to because they see the value in humble #champion., Thu, Sep 21 2023, 11:55:44"
  • I am neither a teacher nor is my child promoted on social media by me or her teacher. I simply don’t have a problem with it as it doesn’t affect me or my child, I just scroll on. Barging into my child and dancing aggressively on stage however does affect my child and all the dancers who have to share a space with them. It’s poor etiquette, bullying and dangerous.
