[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Anyone with feedback on schools that participate in ballet specific competitions?[/quote]

What area is convenient?

I would say, be careful of the ones that say they do more than 1 or 2 different ones per year, because a single competition can actually be 1 semi-final or more plus 1 final, multiplied by the number of competitions they do. At some point it becomes the reason for being and the main focus of the year, as opposed to just something the school does in its free time for a small group of kids in between Nutcracker and the spring show.

Also, with a finite amount of staff but an ever-growing number of competitors, you have to do the math and look at the amount of personal attention each dancer actually gets. If a school has 30+ kids competing in YAGP with each kid doing 3 solos and 5 ensembles, but only a few ever place, it's a money grab. [/quote]

In DC currently, but willing to travel. DD current school does not do comps. Your info is helpful, do you have a specific recommendation?[/quote]

Not for a competition school, no.[/quote]
