[quote=Anonymous]I would strongly suggest looking into a dance studio that doesn't do competitive dance. My DD goes to a studio that focuses on ballet but also does tap and jazz. They do a recital in the spring and the classes are engaging with great teachers. She has made friends through the studio and looks forward to all her classes. At no point do I think to myself "you know this is great but wouldn't it be better if we were required to commit to 10-15 hours of dance every week, traveling to competitions where we sit around for hours and hours indoors on a Saturday waiting for her turn?" I don't even understand what that is for. What is the added benefit? You can't even delude yourself into thinking your kid will be recruited for college because they did "competition dance," the way travel sport parents do. It seems like such an odd thing to do to your own family when it's not at all necessary for your child to learn to dance and get a social benefit out of the activity.[/quote]
