Fundamentally any organisation that can only attract three dance schools to enter more than one or two children in a area as big as NM is facing a problem. If All England wants to be taken seriously it has to address the erratic and poor adjudication in styles of dance where through no fault of their own the adjudicators knowledge is not sufficient. Your points about distance, size of schools etc are plainly not relevant. We compete against other schools who travel further in those local comps than they would have needed too to compete in the Regionals. Because of previous experiences they just can't be bothered and advised us the same. The same advice I'm now passing onto others.

My DD competed in two sections where 50% of the entries where from just two schools and one section where the figure was nearly 70%. The program in front of me shows in other sections that figure was 80% from these same two schools. Wonder why no one else bothers??

Wholeheartedly agree and also my daughter knows to believe her teachers with years of professional dance experience and teaching at a proffesional level over GCSE dance teachers. My daughter by the way thinks it's all hilarious.

"Never know what they see and how they decide".....At least we can agree on that.

My previous comment was removed for being critical whilst using a pseudonym which I understand and have no problem with. The reason I did it that way was to avoid the Dance School my daughter represented getting into any trouble. If I could I'd say more but again that would identify my daughter and frankly 'All England' (and the 3 schools who bother turning up) was always low on our priorities anyway. I wish all the competitors who danced the best and am just relieved I won't have to go through another week like this one again.

We were warned what to expect and saw it first hand. Very poor adjudication and a bias towards certain schools. I've no idea why, i'll leave others to answer that, but very obvious. Never again.

Spent most of the week at the Midland and North Regional. A mistake I won't repeat and can only advise others not to bother with.
