[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Wow. You folks are not well informed individuals at all. It all boils down to the dance studio. Competing has nothing to do with their training. At our studio, there is a strong focus on ballet, they get at least 3 hours of ballet and additional technique and stretch and strength training on top of that each week. The focus is not on the routines. They do a few routines, but nothing like some competitive studios. The focus is solely on training and preparing the dancers (who want it) for the professional world. [/quote] 3 hours of ballet per week at what age? By age 12, I was taking 1.5-3 hours of dance 5 days a week plus rehearsals (at a normal dance studio with a pre-professional dance company). I still did not become a professional. 3 hours a ballet per week is a bare minimum for learning ballet properly from age 9 or so. I would never put a kid in competitive dance. It ruins your technique and it is impossible to undo.[/quote]
