[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I would be VERY careful about studios that go to multiple competitions a year. We were at one such and the students got very little technique training due to most class time being devoted to rehearsals. In addition, it can set up a culture of competition and back-stabbing between the students, even if they look like "friends". In our experience with a "professional training program" several of the students developed eating disorders. Due to the acceptance of ED as "part of the package", and the intense "training schedule", none of the students were treated for it. After we left such a studio, and my child went through therapy and was not afraid to talk, I learned a lot of disturbing things about their practices. In hindsight, I would be VERY careful about competition focused and professional training studios.[/quote] Can you share which studio, so we know where to avoid?[/quote]
