Re: Mail from Canadian Dancesport Federation.

Aspirin, come on now, have you not seen the names under the CDF's e-mail ?
As one active posters correctly put :
"In most professions and sports the leaders are the ones who have excelled in their activity. They have earned and proven their right to lead. "
Have you not recognized in the long list of the CDF's members anyone who has excelled in dance, who have not earned and proven their right to lead ?
Perhaps the World Dance Professional Title in 10 Dance ( which other, probably average and naive majority, would consider the best as far as it goes ) does not deserve a mention ?
I for one have recognized many names which meet this poster's requirement.
It also makes me smile, when I read from Polkdancers own "keyboard" :
Those with something to hide always try to answer a question with a question.
Who was the poster asking half a dozen questions and avoided answering a single question ?
Was it not Polkadancer ?
The web we weave...just to fall and get intagled in it ourselves.
A question was entered: Are you saying that the clarification the CDF letter provides is that dance professionals in Canada are united? Is that what you think? Regardless of which side one is on, I don't think there are any professionals who would agree with that statement.
No, it shows there was disagreement which resulted in formation of a new CDF whose members are united. Of course the professionals in Canada are very much divided, reason for the split .
What do you think, is it better to rebuild a structure which has rotten foundations, infested with buggs , or is it better to leave the structure to its own demise and build a new structure with healthy and quality foundations ?
Not for a minute do I think there were no attempts to make a democratic decision, but not always such is possible, and this was the case.
As for a suggestion CDF agrees and supports with CADA - it is a rubbish. CDF cannot exost without CADA just as CADA needs a co-operating professional association, and they found one in CDF. The two parties agreed to co-operate and try coexist in harmony, something which probably became impossible with CDDSC.
Are professionals united ? It depends how far you want to analyze it.
THe members are individuals who compete one with another for students, for floor space, each with their own Egos, and individual motives. They need to co-exist under an umbrela, just as dentists and other professionals belong to their associations or federations. Are they united ? No, but they are required to obide by a certain code of ethics and conduct.
Who was the poster suggesting a professional dancers / teacher would act unprofessionally if trying to talk to parents and students at a given competition, trying to attract them to his/her studio ? Unprofessional ? Under waht code of conduct ? Dental association, manufacturer's association, dog kennel club ?
No, by the code of their own association- such the code of CDF. Is it safe to say that the professional dancers and other members of CDF are united by the agreed upon codes of CDF ? I suppose it is safe to agree.
Who is the leader of the Canadian North American Dance Alliance, and the person responsible to WDC for actions of the Alliance ?
I also thought it was the president of CDDSC . If not why such a secrecy, you are not shy to name Freitag, Bains , Burns, Sammy.
And if WDC is inviting everyone to join them, why do you suggest WDC would not recognize and deal with CDF ?
