Zero Politics/"new" "reformed" CDDSC ?
18. helmikuuta 2008 16:03
I see a fundamental problem with www.cddsc.com article inviting all CADA members in joining this "reformed" CDDSC.
Had CDDSC come first with the invitation, all would be well, however, the new invitation while supposedly promoting zero politics, appears to be highly political and rather underhanded.
CDDSC knows that CADA Rules prohibits their members from attending CDDSC events, knows that the new Ontario "Star "event is unsanctined by CADA, and that CADA does not allow CDDSC active members to compete in CADA events.
Aware of these Rules they still try "innocently" lure dancers and CADA members in good standing to break their own existing Rules, very well aware and not at all concerned that the CADA dancers would suffer consequences, which they are well aware of, including and not limited to being expelled from CADA for one year.
The suggestion that CDDSC membership would be paid by the organizer of the newly proposed Ontario Open Championship is equally underhanded.
Is it that the Organizer wishes to part with $ 25 per person, or, is it that the Organizer is concerened that this duplication of the already available and well established Ontario Open Amateur Championship run under CADA sanctions would result in a rather 'poor/ no' attendance by Canadian Amateur dancers, and would end up with just all finals, such as was the case last year in the "World Trophy " in Quebec ?
CDDSC might as well promise a free membership to those who attend their competition, as a reward for breaking the CADA Rule, and for committing a career suicide as far as their future withing CADA/IDSF world.
It also appears to me that CDDC in the article invites amateurs to take a course and become professionals to dance as professionals.
This is truly sad. It encourages unprepared, unripe, 'not as good' amateur dancers to make a leap to an elite group of established and proven dancers just to enlarge the professioanl membership.
Is such action going to give any challenge to the proven and excellent professionals, will competing against weak dancers push the true professionals to do their best ? And is it not just going to discourage the "new' "professionals" as they will be used just to boost the competition numbers and used as stepping stones gfor the true professionals to have at least a semifinal event. They better be well motivated and becoime used to repeated humiliation and defeat.
Will this result un greater attendance by spectators ? Spectators want to see quality dancing, not some Bronze and Silver level "Professionals" being rubbed out by mucyh better dancers. Do they want to see good professioanls tripping and avoiding the "new" professionals ?
Considering CDDSC knows about CADA Rules their invitation is Highly political.
Openly inviting dancers to break rules, something that CDDSC would never allowed their own members to do....since even CDDSC has some rules, do they not ?
This just leaves a bad taste in one's mouth, it is not the best example of acting in a good spirit, honourably, and above the board.
CDDSC would be wise to face their oponent in dance =CADA and negotiate openly for the benefit of the dance in Canada, for the benefit of their members - who CDDSC wishes to attend CADA events- so they claim - and the members of CADA ( those who CDDSC encourages to openly disobey and betray their own association= CADA, to face consequences detrimental to their amateur career and dance advancement ).
Some asked : what is CADA afraid of ?
Ley me refraze:
What is CDDSC so afraid of that they must set traps and lures ( offers of free mebership throgh a third party ) to possibly attract and gain a few naive CADA members ?
Has CDDSC given up on negotiating with CADA ? Or is it that WDC instructs CDDSC what they can and cannot do, and CDDSC is just a tail of the real Dog.
I am opposed to the tone and content of this underhanded invitation to join CDDSC and feel that they have just their own benefit in mind, and the purpose is to weaken CADA, enlarge own membership, gain financially while not at all concerned with the future of the CADA members and their obvious sacrifice.
Would DCDSC have the few CADA members who may join them compete in a redundant/ duplicate Ontario Open and promenade them in front of Canada as sacrificial lams - as new Champions ???
This is just not right ? Such an "invitation" can onlu be - and will be interpreted as a hostile act by CADA, because it is a ill conceived motion to misinform and to " steal" CADA members, encotagement to break CADA Rules , which can only breed more hostility towards CDDSC.
Understandably, CDDSC will just shake the head in disbelieve saying " What on Earth has prompted CADA to be so unfriendly ?"
If CDDSC is so great for dancers in Quebec , why not prove the greatness in Quebec, why push their 'might' into Ontario where there are already many worthwhile and well attended competition including Ontario Open ? Does need two Ontario Open Championships and two Ontario Open Champions, or is this suppose to be the trend WDC and IDSF promote, that is, each organisation having their own World Amateur and World Professional Champions ?
This is not the way to go. The future is in finding a mutually acceptable solution and uniting dancers not dividing.
( Disclaimer: of CADA had no above mentioned Rules in place, and their members had not agreed to the CADA Rules I'd find nothing wring with CDDSC invitation - but I do not believe such an invitation would be extended because it would not be hostile and damaging to CADA any more )
Do not forget, this may also be a very personal fight - something the associations should avoid at all costs, and using associations to wash the individual's dirty laundry would be very sad and disappointing. The members and their needs should come first.
If the CADA members, who were 2 years ago allowed to participate in CDDSC events, not forced to pay an unnecessary new membership to CDDSC, this may have never happened. The collection of the extra, and completely unnecessary $ 25 fee to assure "Purity" of Canadian amateur, later changed to making a Registry....later changed to an annual membership....was the start of a very unfortunate split, and much hostilities, including the need to st in place Rules. Today the hostility need to seize.
This "letter" is not what dancers want. Please swallow your Pride, get back to the table and negotiate from strenght, or just come to some binding even a short term lasting agreement, for your members sake. What you do is damaging to your members.
Amen !
