Honestly, too late. Kids who are successful with this start way younger.

Why is everyone so negative. Is it written somewhere that you can’t succeed if you don’t start young.

No.

Wow! You must really hate your kid.

forget the naysayers - Competitive dance is so much more than dance moms - it can be a great activity for kids who love dance and want more than just a recreational recital class. There are a wide range of studio types and what each one makes you to commit too. Where are you located?

Competitive dance is a road to nowhere. College programs avoid comp kids because their technical skills are usually terrible and they are injury prone. The professional world is openly hostile because they can only turn on one side, have odd convetion led quarks like the ridiculous shoulder rolls while entering the stage, and have no commercially useful movement skills. The top comp dancers end up on cruise ships or theme parks at best. Save your money for great training and college. Your kid and money will go alot farther.

Agree 100%
I am part of the best group of "dance moms" and my daughter LOVES IT!! It is expensive. She enjoys several hours of dance / wk, and dances at home by choice when she is not in class.

You sound uninformed, imo.
Each studio is different.

No, I actually work in the industry. I am one of the people that sit behind the table and say yes or no in an audition. Very few people are more informed than I.
