what is open platform
What is open platform? Tew Academy is currently an independent open platform school. Open platform is a concept and movement born about a decade ago and as a result of a small group of progressive thinkers who envisioned an Irish dance world that was inclusive and not exclusive. Essentially, any person claiming to be an Irish dance teacher can enter most open platform competitions. Certifications for teachers and judges are available but are not required for basic membership into these organizations.
