[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote][b]When did dance become a competitive sport[/b]?[b] I danced as a child, and it was only for a couple of recitals a year. DD and her cousins all dance fairly seriously, with class and rehearsal several days a week. One cousin has done some professional performances while still in high school. But none of these kids has danced competitively. They dance for artistic performances. Even the oldest one who is auditioning in NYC considering a full time dance career has never done a competitive team, and that does not seem to be a problem for her.[/quote]

For about the past 15-20 years.

[b]Your daughters must be in a pre pro or conservatory type program[/b].  Very different from a competitive studio.  Although many of the serious ballet companies compete as well, just in a different format and only with the most experienced dancers.[/quote]

Yes, they are. DD and her cousins have a strong ballet focus, but study other techniques as well (except my nephew who does only ballet). What are the benefits of doing a competitive program vs a pre professional program?[/quote]
