for annual re-registration purposes after more than two years of the holders coming to live in Ireland unless in the meantime
they have taken and passed the Irish section of the appropriate examination.

3. Rules for Dancing Classes
3.1 Transfer of Pupil Rules
3.1.1
In these Rules "Registered Teacher" means a person currently registered with An Coimisiun as a teacher. "The appropriate
authority" means the Regional Council or, in a region without a Council, the committee, sub-committee, association, person or
persons delegated by An Coimisiun to administer the Transfer Rules in the region.
3.1.2
When a new pupil joins a registered teacher's class and he/she has been the pupil of another registered teacher within the
previous year the Secretary of the dancing authority of the Region in which the pupil resides must be informed by the new
teacher in writing.
3.1.3
Where there is no Regional Council the notification must be sent either to An Coimisiun itself or to the authority (see Rule3.1.1)
appointed by An Coimisiun to deal with transfers in the region.
3.1.4
Where a pupil, formerly the pupil of a registered teacher, joins the class of another registered teacher, the new teacher must not
enter that pupil in any registered comp etition until six months following the date on which notification of the pupil joining the
new class is received in writing by the Regional Council or other appropriate authority unless the pupil is allowed to compete by
reason of Rules 3.1.5 or 3.1.6 below.
3.1.5
A pupil should not be withheld from competition where the change of teacher occurs because of: -
(a) Death of former teacher.
(b) Retirement of former teacher.
(c) Failure of former teacher to re-register with An Coimisiun.
(d) Significant change of place of normal residence of the pupil – travel, time, and expense should be given due
consideration.
(e) Closure of the teacher's class normally attended by the pupil and where that teacher has not another class within a
reasonable distance of the pupil's home.
(f) Any other circumstance in which the Council or other appropriate authority considers it would be unfair or
contrary to natural justice to insist that the pupil be withheld from competition.
3.1.6
A pupil should not be withheld from competition on joining a new class where a period of at least one year has elapsed from the
date on which the former teacher was informed of the intentions of the pupil ceasing to be a member of the class.
3.1.7
Where a Bun grad/Beginner dancer is one month or less in a class the Transfer rule (6 months) does not apply.
3.1.8
A transfer cannot be recognized unless a child attends the class of a new teacher. A private session with the individual pupil
only will not constitute attending a class.
3.1.9
A pupil is not subject to the Transfer Rule (6 months) where there is a change of status within the class i.e. where a new or
another teacher commences teaching under the name of that school, or where a teacher leaves a school. In this situation, the
pupil will have ONE opportunity within a one-month period to decide on their choice of dancing school. His/her teacher will
inform the pupil of this in writing and a copy of the letter will be sent to An Coimisiun or other relevant authority.
(NB. This rule does not apply in North America since it was changed on May 19th 2007)
N.B.If a pupil leaves the class of one registered teacher, and goes to the class of another registered teacher, and later returns to
the class of the original teacher, the Transfer Rule (6 months) applies, as this is considered to be two moves.
3.1.10
Where a pupil is asked to leave a dancing school by the teacher, for whatever reason, that dancer will serve the 6 months
restyling period with a new registered teacher, unless Rule 3.1.6 applies (i.e. that the dancer is already out of dancing for one
year).
3.1.11
Where a pupil leaves the class of a registered teacher,
? joins the class of an Irish Dancing teacher not registered with An Coimisiun, and later returns to his/her former teacher,
the Transfer Rule (6 months) does not apply.
However, where a pupil leaves the class of a registered teacher, joins the class of an Irish Dancing teacher not registered with
An Coimisiun, and subsequently joins the class of another teacher registered with An Coimisiun, that pupil must not be entered
in any registered competition until six months have elapsed following the date of receipt of written notification by the Regional
Council or other appropriate author
Where a pupil has been 12 months out of dancing i.e. has not attended any class and has not competed in any competition,
then this Rule does not apply.
3.1.12
Where a pupil leaves the class of a registered teacher (CLRG),
? joins the class of an Irish Dancing teacher(CLRG) in another region and later returns to his/her former teacher, the
Transfer Rule (6 months) does not apply.
However. where a pupil leaves the class of a registered teacher (CLRG),joins the class of an Irish Dancing teacher(CLRG)
in another region and later returns to the original region but joins another teacher (not his/her former teacher) then the
Transfer Rule (6 months) applies.
Where a pupil has been 12 months out of dancing i.e. has not attended any class and has not competed in any competition,
then this Rule does not apply. 

3.2 Inclusion of dancers resident outside of the region in ceili and figure dancing teams.
The regulations relating to the above are as follows: -
3.2.1. Where a team is comprised of dancers resident in more than one region the team must dance in the region in which the
majority of the team resides.
3.2.2. where a team consists of equal numbers of dancers from two different regions the team shall dance in the region of the
teacher's choice.
3.2.3. The above concessions can be availed of only where it is required in order to make up a team which otherwise would not
be able to compete i.e. the concession must not be used by a teacher in order to maximize his/her entry. This in effect means not
more than one team from the same school can include out-of-region dancers in the same competition.
3.2.4. The concession outlined above cannot be utilized by a teacher in order to permit a dancer to compete in ceili or figure
dance competition in the same age group in two different regions.
3.2.5. Non -championship ceili competitions at a Regional Oireachtas must be confined entirely to dancers resident in the region
– the aforementioned concessions apply to team championship events only.
3.2.6. Dancers from another province may be utilized by a teacher only when he/she has included in their team all suitable
dancers from their class who are resident in the region. 

3.3 Teacher's attendance at class
3.3.1 A registered teacher must attend and teach his/her class on a regular basis.
3.3.2 Unregistered teachers/pupils may only teach in such classes in the presence of the registered teacher;
3.3.4 Dancers/pupils who teach independently, or in contravention of this decision, are not entitled to compete at registered
competitions, which include Regional and National Oireachtaisi, as well as Oireachtas Rince na Cruinne.
N.B. The following points should clarify the situation:
(a) There is no rule of An Coimisiun which permits a registered teacher to attend a class on a monthly basis and have
someone else teach the class on his or her behalf between such intermittent attendances by the registered teacher;
(b) Only teachers who have sought and received permission to teach in areas where no other teacher exists are exempt
from the above. Permission if granted is for the duration of one registration year only and must be reapplied for
annually. 

3.4 Joint Dancing Schools
3.4.1. For the purpose of these rules a joint dancing school is a school in which two or more registered teachers are teaching.
The rules apply to all members of classes taught by any teacher in the class, and are not restricted to the pupils taught jointly.
3.4.2 Registered teachers forming a joint school are expected to register as such, by notifying An Coimisiun and the Regional
Council or appropriate body and supplying the following information.
(a) Names of registered teachers in the establishment
(b) Date of establishment of the joint school
(c) Title of the joint school
(d) The registered teacher/s who will be teaching pupils of the joint school.
3.4.3 Where a new teacher joins an established school, or where two new schools amalgamate as a joint school, pupils of the
school/s, if they are not satisfied with the arrangements, may without penalty transfer to any registered teacher of their
choice.
3.4.4 Dancers (parents/guardians) will be allowed one opportunity within a one-month period from the date of notification
to An Coimisiun (Regional Council) in which to make their choice, to remain in the newly formed school or move to
another registered teacher. The notification must be in writing to An Coimisiun (or other organization acting on behalf
of) and to the pupils/parents of the class/s. (see Rule 3.1.9)
3.4.5 Where registered teachers already involved in a joint school take another registered teacher into the school, this will be
recognized as a basic change to the dancing school and pupils will have the same transfer rights as above. The pupils
must be advised in writing and notification sent to An Coimisiun (Regional Council or appropriate body)(see Rule
3.1.8).
3.4.6 Where two or more registered teachers are teaching a joint school and one or more of them decides to leave the class
and terminate the relationship, the pupils of the school may
(a) Leave/remain with any of the registered teachers previously in the joint school
(b) Move to another registere d teacher.
The pupils will in this event be given one option within a one-month period in which to choose their preferred option.
The one-month period will start from the date of written notification, which will be given to them and copied to An Coimisiun
or appropriate body (see Rule 3.1.9).
N.B. If a pupil leaves the class of one registered teacher and goes to the class of another registered teacher, and later returns to
the class of the original teacher, the Transfer Rule (6 months) applies as this is considered to be two moves. 

3.5 Class Insurance

evidence that their classes are covered for Public Liability Insurance.

expressly forbidden in competition.

4.2.3 Where nails are used to attach the top piece to the heel they must not exceed 25% of the total surface area of the top
piece.
4.2.4 The maximum permissible height of a heel from the surface of the top piece to the point where the heel joins the upper
of the shoe is 1.5 inches. (This height includes both heel and top piece and is measured to the back of the upper of the
shoe).
4.2.5 A certain amount of tapering from where the heel joins the upper of the shoe to where it joins the top piece is
permissible (i.e. the heel may be broader at the top then at the bottom) but such tapering must be at a constant angle,
i.e. the side of the heel must not be curved and no protrusions from the side or back of the heel is allowed.
4.2.6 It is possible, indeed probable, that in the future new construction techniques for shoes will evolve and/or new
materials become available which will require a review of these directives. However, at no time in the future should
new materials other than those listed above be used in shoes, or any divergence from these directives be introduced
without prior authorization being sought from An Coimisiun.

introduction of this rule will prevent the excessively short lengths recently witnessed.

inset.
4.4.5 Where chiffon or lace material is used as sleeves, the sleeves must start at the shoulder line and end at the cuff.

· a person granted ASSOCIATED, CONDITIONAL or TEMPORARY registration,
· any other member of An Coimisiun or Regional Council,
· or a dancer of a registered dancing school,

disciplinary action.
Certain competitions recognized by An Coimisiun, e.g. Sc? r, are exempt from the provisions of this Rule.
5.1.3. An Coimisiun may grant derogation from 5.1.2.above where an application has been made, and approved by An
Coimisiun, for the holding of an Open Platform event, i.e. an event where the pupils of teachers registered with one or more
organizations other than An Coimisiun will also be allowed to take part. Any such permission would be renewable on an annual
basis. 

5.2 Workshop Rule/Dance Camps
5.2.1 An adjudicator, must not judge a competition which includes any dancer (solo/team) who the adjudicator, (or a person
acting on his/her behalf), has in the previous two years taught or coached (either in person or by video or other means).
(See restrictions on adjudicating below Rules 5.3.1 to 5.3.9) )
5.2.2 Where a workshop is conducted by a registered ADCRG for another registered ADCRG or TCRG, the Rules
pertaining to workshops will apply to both parties (See Rules 5.2. and 5.3)
5.2.3 A workshop open to all classes and organized by An Coimisiun, or by one of its subsidiary bodies, is exempt from this
Rule.
5.2.4 Where a child has transferred from the class of the adjudicator and been subject to the 6-month suspension period then
he/she is exempt from this ruling as, in the interest of natural justice, a child is not subject to two separate rules running
consecutively.

TIDANZ, or another regional organization approved by An Coimisiun, may formally designate a workshop as an
"Open Workshop", and grant an exemption to the person conducting the workshop.
5.2.6 Exemptions from the Workshop Rules are reserved for workshops formally designated "Open Workshops" as defined in
5.2.5 above. Workshops/dance camps organized on a commercial/leisure basis may not be regarded as "Open Workshops", and

An adjudicator must not judge a competition in which competitors include; -
5.3.1 His/her son, daughter, niece, nephew or first cousin either as a solo or team dancer:

5.3.6 Any dancer (solo/team) who the adjudicator himself/herself has taught in the previous two years. This is to include
all dancers who are no longer being taught by the adjudicator for whatever reason. However, any child who has
transferred from the class of the adjudicator, and been subject to the 6 month suspension period is exempt from the
above ruling, as in the interest of the child under the laws of natural justice a child is not subject to two separate
rules running consecutively.
5.3.7 Any dancer (solo/team) whose teacher has in the previous two years assessed (either in person or by video) pupils
of the adjudicator other than at an official Dancer's Certificate examination of An Coimisiun.
