[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You guys drank the Kool Aid, you get that, right?

Perpetuating this idea that this is SERIOUS. and you CANNOT BACK OUT. is how these dance studios make $$$$$$$$$$$$$

It's not OMG THE FORMATIONS and gee whiz OUR TEAMMATE LEFT US. The studio convinces you of this because they enjoy money.

Do what is best for you family, for God's sake.[/quote]

Agree.  Competitive dance is a huge racket filled with mediocre dancers they extort.  Back out with zero guilt. No one is depending on your daughter.  The dance will be just fine with 20 girls instead of 21. [/quote]

Yup.
I'm a Girl Scout leader.  We have one girl in my troop who I adore, but she does competitive dance.  She has missed SO many cool things this year.  And I would understand if she were missing them because of an actual competition, but she'll miss once a year Scout activities for her weekly dance rehearsals.  Evidently literally everything else in the world - including family finances - are less important than dance practice several times per week 10 months of the year.[/quote]
