[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Competitive dance - costumes, makeup, dance moves, etc. Who are they trying to impress? Creeps?[/quote]

Everyone gets a trophy. The medals and trophies became meaningless after awhile. The awards ceremonies were a joke. [/quote]

So you want it to be even more competitive?[/quote]

I think the point is that achievements are meaningless when everyone gets a trophy. Unlike, say, track and field when you are competing for a time or distance, something objective. [/quote]

Where else can you work with a dance troupe and perform and perfect your routine?  Seriously asking.  Sometimes the "competition" is the excuse to do that.

But then again, I don't understand all the hand wringing with participation trophy nonsense.  if adults simply participated in/executed better eating and exercise routines, we'd be a really healthy nation.[/quote]

Some dance schools have performance teams/companies that rehearse choreography and then perform periodically throughout the school year in all sorts of different venues (ranging from traditional dance concerts to nursing homes, Christmas tree lightings, local fairs, halftime shows, etc.). These can be a nice alternative to the competition route.[/quote]

A regular dance studio does not have competitions. They have performances on stage. 100 times better.[/quote]
