Summary
Concerned Women for America (CWA) is calling on Irish dancing governing bodies to amend their participation policies after a male dancer qualified for the world championships for a third year in a row after previously competing as a male. The male competitor won a regional title in the girl’s division in 2023 and has since won two more times. CWA argues that this undermines young women and makes them less likely to compete.
