[quote=Anonymous]Competitive dance is a farce. There is no real competition; everyone wins first place gold or first place platinum elite or some nonsense. Everyone makes it to nationals (which are by no means “National” - there are dozens of national competitions that should be called regional).  The same groups of girls perform multiple dances over and over again but in different outfits that range in price from $100 to $200 or so.  After each performance they have a mad rush to the dressing room to change for the next performance with much drama. Going from a ponytail to a bun can be quite stressful if you haven’t tried it.  How about just picking one hairstyle? And one color of tights?  And sometimes there are tears and tantrums with the stress of changing outfits and hair accessories.  Your time is not your own. If your kid is bffs with the other kid and you love spending time with these girls and their parents for hours on end every weekend, maybe it is worth your time. But if not, run… or if you don’t want to spend your weekends waiting around for hours backstage or in an auditorium… don’t even start. [/quote]
