A statement from the CRN Executive Committee
Cumann Rince Náisiúnta, CRN, was founded in 1982 and since its formation, has grown in strength and numbers and currently has a membership base in Ireland, the UK, across mainland Europe, USA, Canada and Australia.
As an organisation, CRN has a strong Code of Ethics and encourages fairness of competition for all dancers, teachers and members. CRN promotes an open platform for competition allowing dancers from all over the World to compete in a safe, fair, and friendly environment.
CRN is governed by an Executive Committee who are elected by the general membership to uphold our Constitution and General Rules of competition. We take great pride that our organisation is open to new ideas, gives a voice to the young teachers and is always willing to listen to new ways of moving forward, whilst preserving the traditions of Irish dancing, music and culture.
