[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think this is a suburbs thing?  I've seen them on Certifikid etc., but don't know anyone personally here in DC who has their kids doing it.  My 7yo's friends do jazz, tap, ballet, etc.[/quote]
Actually I’m in NoVa and was wondering the same. I’ve never heard of these types of studios around here.  Are you in the DMV op?[/quote]

Nope, don’t deluded yourself.  It’s almost every studio. Unless you are affiliated with a university or major dance company, it’s pretty likely at least one of your teachers is a ho. I have an MFA in dance and would never, ever allow my children (either gender) to take dance at a studio.  And yes, I earned that snobbery. [/quote]

Second PP above is totally wrong despite that proudly "earned snobbery." There are many serious local dance studios that have nothing whatsoever to do with competitive dance and are not affiliated with universities or pro companies. Maybe this PP thinks the term "studio" somehow always means "competitive dance" but that is false. My DD has danced for 14 years at two different studios and neither did any competitive dance; both focus mainly on classical ballet and modern dance, and the handful of jazz and tap classes perform in very modest, age-appropriate costumes. I could list probably a dozen other studios in the region like that. Some send teen dancers to summer programs at profesdional companies because the dancers are that strong.

I find it hard to believe that someone with "an MFA in dance" is this unaware of the existence of many reputable non-competitive dance schools that are not "affiliated with a university or major dance company." Maybe PP is located somewhere that isn't the DC region and wherever PP lives the focus is all on glitzy, sexy trophy-winning teams. But saying "almost every studio" is like that is wrong. [/quote]
