In Bun and Tus grad competitions, dancers are permitted to wear either class costumes or day wear e.g. skirts and tops (Munster Specific rule)
The use of artificial carriage aids is strictly forbidden except in cases of a medical condition where a doctor’s certificate may be requested. Any
competitor found to be using artificial carriage aids and subsequently refuses to remove same, will be subject to disqualification from that particular
competition. Medically prescribed apparatus (proof of which may be required) will be exempt from this ruling.
Under no circumstances should dancers walk around any dancing venue in their underwear. Neither should dancers (regardless of age) change into or
out of costume in the main dancing hall, if at all possible. At all times, dancers should be properly attired.
In Reel competitions under 5 years, dancers must perform Easy Reel material only… (Munster specific rule).
Should a dancer fall on stage, the adjudicator MUST ring the bell to stop the performance of the dancer(s). The dancer(s) so affected will be permitted
to re-dance at the discretion of the adjudication panel, or by a majority of adjudicators, where there is a judging panel. Should, in the opinion of the
stage steward, having obtained medical advice if necessary, a dancer be unfit to re dance and if such dancer insists on his/her right to do so then the
dancer concerned may be permitted to re-dance on completion of a declaration form exonerating the committee of liability for any consequences.
Should a dancer lose a heel or a complete shoe he/she may stand back allowing the other dancer, where applicable, to continue dancing uninhibited. In
such a case, the dancer concerned will be permitted to redance as soon as it is deemed practicable by the stage steward.
