[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don't intend this to be super judgy but why do certain studios make dance competitive? Why can't recitals/performances be enough for the young dancers?[/quote]

I have wondered the same thing and found that it can be hard to find a place to take dance that doesn't eventually push in this direction because the more you dance, the more costumes you buy, the more money they make.  I'm old school; danced every Saturday during the school year with an end of year recital from age 4 to 12.  I loved it, and it was everything good about my childhood.

They dance competitively because it is like a sport. Competition pushes people to improve, recitals are more of leisure dance/school events. I find it really strange though that so many dance studio out here compete only twice a year. That seems more like what you were describing, it is in no way competitive dance. At two competitions a year the kids would not have the experience to compete with against teams competing once a month. [/quote]
