[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm curious for those of you whose daughter quit competitive dance, did they quit dance entirely or just the competition part?[/quote] Another former Irish dancer mom. I really enjoyed the whole experience and we had lots of fun and made wonderful friends over the years. When it was time to stop I was definitely sad, but in middle school, DD was not advancing as quickly anymore and just got tired of the time demands required to more seriously commit and move up to a higher level of competition. Other interests also started to creep in. DD had started to dance at age 6 until almost age 14, so it was a big part of our family's life for a long time. After the final competition, when DD had made the decision to quit and noticed that I was sad, DD said with a smile, "It's okay. We had a really good run, mom." That moment still makes me smile and I'm glad we can both remember the years of DD's dancing and competing as a positive experience.[/quote]
