CRN VIRTUAL IRISH OPEN CHAMPIONSHIP - RESULTS

Good luck and best wishes to our 25 Dancers competing in the CRN Virtual Irish Open Championships! 

There are over 700 competitors for Virtual Irish Open and this is the largest digital entry competition for CRN.  Competition is very tough, but our dancers tapings were wonderful and we are so proud of their progress and hard work. 

Well done to all, you are already winners in our opinions!

 

Results Party - December 12th, 2021

We are planning a results party for all competitive dancers on Sunday, December 12th, 2021 at the studio (558 Keenleyside)

Time - 10:00 am - 12:30 pm 

*please note, this is the tentative time CRN has set for live results, we will inform you if there are any changes to the schedule

Due to health restrictions we can only have dancers attend the results party, but we'll look forward to a day soon when we can have our dance family join us for competition fun.

There will be no classes scheduled for Brandon on Sunday December 12th as many of our dancers are travelling in for the results party.  We're delighted they can join us for the fun!

 

The table below shows the number of competitors in each award and championships.  A reminder, ages are determined by the age the dancer was on August 31st, 2021 (a dancer who is 10 on August 31st, would be entered in U10)

MISSED CLASS? ATTEND A ZOOM LESSON!

Winter weather, cold or flu, covid-19 isolation requirements?  

We understand it's the season where dancers may miss Irish dance classes from time to time.  To make-up for the missed lesson, we encourage all students to drop into one of our Zoom Classes on Saturdays.

We have additional teachers scheduled for the Saturday Zoom classes to work specifically with our on-line dancers and all ages are welcome, including Adults.  Please note, Zoom on-line classes are only offered on Saturdays as we schedule addition instructors to insure quality learning for on-line lessons .

There's no need to sign up in advance, but please send an email to info@mcconnelldancers.com to let us know you'll be attending.

You'll find the 2021 - 2022 Zoom Class Links below, with Zoom Login details and Zoom Meeting Tips.  If you misplace this email and need the meeting links you can find them in the Students Area of our Website https://www.mcconnelldancers.com/member-login

HAVING PROBLEMS LOGGING ON TO A MEETING?

Please email info@mcconnelldancers.com if you experience any difficulties logging in to the class.  

ZOOM MEETING TIPS

In order for dancers to login to classes, you must first set up a ZOOM account. https://zoom.us/     

  • Class links are unique so please make certain you are using the correct link for your class.  
  • Only those registered for classes will be permitted into the meeting.
  • Dancers should login at the start of class time (no earlier) as there may be another zoom class in session.

Sign In Name

Please sign in with the dancer's name (not parent or spouse).  Siblings sharing a camera, we understand this may not be possible so we suggest using first names.

Camera Position

Please try to have dancer's full standing frame (head to feet).  Depending on the space available, you may want to adjust to horizontal or vertical spacing.  

Internet Lag

Internet Lag or delay may occur for some depending on your internet plan speed and local conditions.  If you are experiencing delay, we suggest you try eliminating other home internet usage during the lesson or upgrading your home internet plan.  Unfortunately, there are times when internet lag causes difficulty with video and music for on-line lessons, so please be understanding if this happens during Irish dance classes.

Late Arrivals & Early Departures

We understand situations occur where dancers are not able to log in on time for classes.  If this happens, please feel welcome to log in late but please enter the meeting with your microphone muted, so you do not disturb the rest of the class. 

If you must leave early, please let your instructor know at the beginning of class, or send a message in zoom chat window  

Background Noise & Private Location

Please do your best to insure dancers are in a private area where there is no family background noise or traffic is this can be quite disruptive to other's in the class. 

Although we understand parents may want to watch their dancer's on-line lesson, we strongly discourage this as dancer's attention will not be focused on the class and learning.
