[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Competitive dance is a road to nowhere. College programs avoid comp kids because their technical skills are usually terrible and they are injury prone.  The professional world is openly hostile because they can only turn on one side, have odd convetion led quarks like the ridiculous shoulder rolls while entering the stage, and have no commercially useful movement skills.  The top comp dancers end up on cruise ships or theme parks at best. Save your money for great training  and college. Your kid and money will go alot farther.[/quote]

Ugh.  Yes to all of this.  Poor technique when compared to students from serious studios that are focused on the art and discipline of dance. Plus all the weird faces they are trained to make on stage.  And yes, road to no where and cruise ship work or Disney are where many end up [/quote]

My daughter’s friend did cruise ships when she was 23 and she had a great experience.   Saw snippets of the world.  [/quote]

Same with my daughters’s friend.  She wasn’t good enough to get a NYC agent or do well professionally but she started cruises and loves it.  [/quote]
