Agree 100%
I am part of the best group of "dance moms" and my daughter LOVES IT!! It is expensive. She enjoys several hours of dance / wk, and dances at home by choice when she is not in class.

You sound uninformed, imo.
Each studio is different.


No, I actually work in the industry. I am one of the people that sit behind the table and say yes or no in an audition. Very few people are more informed than I.

Why is everyone so negative. Is it written somewhere that you can’t succeed if you don’t start young.

Honestly, too late. Kids who are successful with this start way younger.
