So is the person's child beside yours. Remember that. Everyone wants to to see their child perform. As a result, please refrain from the following behaviors:</span><br />
<br />
<ul style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; background-color: white; color: black; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: 18px; margin: 0.5em 0px; orphans: auto; padding: 0px 2.5em; text-align: start; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: 1; word-spacing: 0px;">
<li style="margin: 0px 0px 0.25em; padding: 0px; text-indent: 0px;">Stressing yourself out as if recital is an audition for the Joffrey Ballet. It's not. And even if it was, it's the child's audition. Not yours.</li>
<li style="margin: 0px 0px 0.25em; padding: 0px; text-indent: 0px;">Yelling at your child and then yelling at them for crying because their eyes will be red on stage.</li>
<li style="margin: 0px 0px 0.25em; padding: 0px; text-indent: 0px;">Standing in front of people during the performance, thereby obstructing the view of someone else's preshush little snowflake.</li>
<li style="margin: 0px 0px 0.25em; padding: 0px; text-indent: 0px;">Talking during the performance. Just because you aren't interested, doesn't mean the person beside you isn't.</li>
<li style="margin: 0px 0px 0.25em; padding: 0px; text-indent: 0px;">Criticizing another child. You don't know if their parents are sitting next to you.</li>
</ul>
<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; background-color: white; color: black; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: 18px; orphans: auto; text-align: start; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: 1; word-spacing: 0px;">
#2 <b>Respect the dance teachers and staff</b>. </div>
<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; background-color: white; color: black; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: 18px; orphans: auto; text-align: start; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: 1; word-spacing: 0px;">
<ul style="line-height: 1.4; margin: 0.5em 0px; padding: 0px 2.5em;">
<li style="margin: 0px 0px 0.25em; padding: 0px; text-indent: 0px;">They will be busy. Do not take this time to ask if Little Suzy did a good job or if there will be dance class next Thursday.</li>
<li style="margin: 0px 0px 0.25em; padding: 0px; text-indent: 0px;">Do not ask the photographer (if there is one) to take special pictures for you. He/She is also very busy. There is a picture day for these kinds of requests.</li>
</ul>

<div>
<br /></div>
<ul style="line-height: 1.4; margin: 0.5em 0px; padding: 0px 2.5em;">
<li style="margin: 0px 0px 0.25em; padding: 0px; text-indent: 0px;">If you want to watch the dances, have a seat. Standing at the side of the stage is rude. It distracts from the dance, especially if your child is very young. Buy a ticket and sit down. Many parents have to run back and forth between costume changes. It's part of the experience. Embrace it. </li>
</ul>
<div>
#3 This relates to the first item. <b>The recital is more than your child's class</b>. There will be many, many numbers performing as there are many children involved. </div>
</div>
<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; background-color: white; color: black; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: 18px; orphans: auto; text-align: start; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: 1; word-spacing: 0px;">
<ul style="line-height: 1.4; margin: 0.5em 0px; padding: 0px 2.5em;">
<li style="margin: 0px 0px 0.25em; padding: 0px; text-indent: 0px;">Your child's dances will not be the first few numbers so that you can "get out of there."</li>
<li style="margin: 0px 0px 0.25em; padding: 0px; text-indent: 0px;">Allowing your child to watch the older kids will fill them with wonder and develop a deeper love for the art. (Trust me on this.)</li>
<li style="margin: 0px 0px 0.25em; padding: 0px; text-indent: 0px;">If you must leave, do so quietly, without making a scene.</li>
<li style="margin: 0px 0px 0.25em; padding: 0px; text-indent: 0px;">Yes, it may take 2-2.5 hours for the recital to be finished. Enjoy it. These children have worked hard for many months to put on a good show for you.</li>
</ul>
<div>
#4 <b>Things that I shouldn't have to say</b>, but...</div>
<div>
<ul style="line-height: 1.4; margin: 0.5em 0px; padding: 0px 2.5em;">
<li style="margin: 0px 0px 0.25em; padding: 0px; text-indent: 0px;">Please refrain from using profanity in front of the children. It may be ok for you, but it may not for the kid standing next to you.</li>
<li style="margin: 0px 0px 0.25em; padding: 0px; text-indent: 0px;">Turn off your phone. No one cares that you're so important that you have to take a call in the middle of a performance. It's rude. And if you must take a call, go outside.</li>
<li style="margin: 0px 0px 0.25em; padding: 0px; text-indent: 0px;">Applaud for everyone.</li>
<li style="margin: 0px 0px 0.25em; padding: 0px; text-indent: 0px;">Thank the teachers for teaching your children.</li>
</ul>
<div>
Of course, they can't really put this stuff into a parent note. But it would make things easier on everyone if they could. ;-)</div>

The other day, I read an <a href="http://www.dancestudiolife.com/competition-directors-tell-all-2/" target="_blank">article</a> from <i>Dance Studio Life</i> magazine. It's a few years old, but I still thought it was an insightful read. It got me thinking though, about all of the things I'd like to tell THEM, the competition directors. I am, after all, the customer. Sure, the studio owner chooses the competitions, the kids perform, but I am the one paying for the service. They should know what I think too, right? Of course, I wanted to make sure I hadn't left anything out and I wanted to include everyone - so I asked the <a href="https://twitter.com/DanceParentProb" target="_blank">Twitter-verse </a>what they thought: teachers, parents, dancers. <br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjRE1NivxhaQvISAzetKnA5yalg1QUv4FbvZBou2HA6R8UmxwSDTYwNFBjAYYiOqr7Wfi_0gcXdZ38s1cnvTZ0mNwrE2x2duJzhcaO9DlUd8sfuLnTpYWNaz4IUkWwQpatEZ9NDqkcpAF8/s1600/bullhorn.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjRE1NivxhaQvISAzetKnA5yalg1QUv4FbvZBou2HA6R8UmxwSDTYwNFBjAYYiOqr7Wfi_0gcXdZ38s1cnvTZ0mNwrE2x2duJzhcaO9DlUd8sfuLnTpYWNaz4IUkWwQpatEZ9NDqkcpAF8/s1600/bullhorn.jpg" height="155" width="200" /></a></div>
<br />
<br />
We were all mostly on the same page. But here's what we generally want to be able to let the competitions we attend know:<br />
<br />
<b>Pricing</b>: Please stop sheltering the studios. Many studios add an upcharge to their fees and as long as the parents were told ahead of time, that's ok. But, as mentioned above, we are the ones paying the fees and we feel like we have the right to know what they actually are. <br />
<br />
<b>Schedules</b>: When you sell out months in advance or your cut off for submissions is 30-60 days before the competition date, why on earth can you not give us a schedule sooner than 6-7 days prior? This is especially inconvenient for those of us that travel to competitions, have to take time off of work for Friday (or earlier) starts, etc. Especially frustrating is when you won't put a nationals schedule out until a week prior. We understand that there's way more that goes into creating a schedule than we realize, but a skeleton would go a long way to keep us happy.<br />
<br />
<b>Rules</b>: The only rule I see being routinely enforced is no photos/videos. While I understand the safety of the dancers, protecting choreography angle, I really feel like that one is enforced because you lose money if people don't buy YOUR videos and pictures. The rules I want to see enforced are those related to the appropriateness of the routine - no 7 year olds dressed like and dancing to a song about prostitutes. Other rules are more specifically addressed in other points.<br />
<br />
<b>Awards:</b> The overwhelming consensus (and you all talked about this a lot in the article) is that they are out of hand. A gold is the best award at one competition and the worst at the next. Then another has a triple platinum. Another has a titanium award. And it's been a LONG time since I've seen a silver given out. Can't we just agree on one awards system?<br />
<br />
<b>Levels:</b> If a dancer can execute a perfect triple into a tilt drop, they're not novice. You know it. They know it. Their teacher knows it. Stop rewarding them with the diamond ruby sparkle award and a 1st place. Move them into the appropriate competitive category, like your rules say you'll do. The same applies to an intermediate dancer who is in 15 numbers. If they can rehearse 15 numbers in 6 hours or less, I have a bridge to sell you.<br />
<br />
<b>Overbooking:</b> Please stop starting regional competitions on a Wednesday or Thursday. School should come first. Book a 2nd weekend if you have to. Or open a second room. But if you do that, please make sure that the 2nd stage is as of the same quality and safety as the main one. I'm not calling anyone out, but one I attended last year with two rooms was a nightmare.<br />
<br />
<b>Social Media:</b> DO IT. Answer questions. Respond to complaints. Retweet nice things we say about you. And post. Don't just throw up a Facebook page and let it gather cobwebs. <br />
<br />
<b>Information:</b> We've not returned to competitions more than once because of lack of information or misinformation. Make sure that whomever is speaking for your company knows what they are talking about. And most importantly, return the studios' phone calls and emails. Even the small studios. Again, not naming names... On the reverse, one of our favorite places to go is one where the director is open and communicative with our studio owners.<br />
<br />
<b>Judging:</b> Don't ignore the smaller studios. Please make the critiques useful. We know the costume is pretty. Work a lunch break into the schedule if you have to. But it would be great to get critiques that don't feature the judge chewing into the microphone. And hold your judges accountable for giving everyone a critique. One year, I sat and watched a judge enter a score after about 15 seconds for every single novice and intermediate number. He only watched the advanced numbers. All. Day. Long. <br />
<br />
<br />
Of course, we don't know if any of them will read this post. So, the best thing you can do is offer your feedback on<a href="http://www.dancecompetitionhub.com/" target="_blank"> Dance Competition Hub</a>. Competition owners and vendors are taking notice and reading our feedback, so keep posting it! <br />

<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; line-height: 14.4pt; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto;">
<span style="background: white; color: #333333; font-family: "Arial",sans-serif; font-size: 9.0pt;">I’m really torn.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We are getting to the point in the year that
I just want it to be competition season.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Costumes have been ordered (some are even in).<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Numbers are finished and being cleaned.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I just want to watch some dance.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Luckily, we have two performances coming up
in the next month, but still… for a competition junkie like myself, nothing
beats spending hundreds of dollars in entry fees, hotel fees, and gas money and
spending 2 or 3 days in a dark auditorium eating stale Cheez-its and drinking
lukewarm water from a bottle that may or may not be mine (because after a few
hours, there are half empty water bottles everywhere).<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>But, here’s where I’m torn.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>My oldest dancer is a junior.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>She’s almost done with competition dance. I still have two younger dancers, but it will never be the same without all of my girls.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"></span> So, I don’t want to rush it.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>But yet… maybe March can just hurry up and
get here and THEN time can slow down.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I
hate winter anyway.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; line-height: 14.4pt; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto;">

<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; line-height: 14.4pt; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto;">
<span style="background: white; color: #333333; font-family: "Arial",sans-serif; font-size: 9.0pt;">I love the rush of quick
changes, the boredom of having hours between numbers, cheering for solos, checking
out the costumes from other studios, trying to calculate if we have enough time
to eat a real meal before the next number, carrying 9 Starbucks orders in one
hand, watching the kids swim together at the hotel, scoping out other dancers
at the hotel breakfast.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I want to sit on
the floor with an overpriced program and a highlighter and frantically search
for a free outlet to charge my phone. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I
love sitting in the dressing room and watching the dancers interact with each
other. Dressing room conversations between the dancers or with my fellow moms
or teachers are some of my happiest memories. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; line-height: 14.4pt; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto;">

<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; line-height: 14.4pt; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto;">
<span style="background: white; color: #333333; font-family: "Arial",sans-serif; font-size: 9.0pt;">Competitions are one of the
few times that I can say I enjoy getting up at the crack of dawn and staying up
until midnight or later multiple days in a row.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>We are all always tired as we drive two or three hours home at midnight
on a Sunday night – but it’s precious time with my dancers that I wouldn’t trade
for anything. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>There’s something special
about the whine of a 7 year old who has been at the venue all day, the look of
frustration in the mom’s eyes.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I just
want to tell her to enjoy it.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Because it’s
not going to last forever. But I won’t.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Because I’ve been there too and I don’t want to get smacked. ;-) </span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; line-height: 14.4pt; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto;">
<span style="background: white; color: #333333; font-family: "Arial",sans-serif; font-size: 9.0pt;">I’ve promised myself I won’t
rush it.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We’ll enjoy the time between
now and March.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>But what I wouldn’t give
to be in a dark room with stage lights, smelly kids, rhinestones, and flustered
stage moms.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It’s my favorite thing.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; line-height: 14.4pt; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto;">

<span style="background: white; color: #333333; font-family: "Arial",sans-serif; font-size: 9.0pt;">p.s. I've taken a page from a friend of mine who just moved her and some of her children ACROSS THE GLOBE for a yet undetermined amount of time. She said she's not going to worry her life away. <a href="http://www.momedysketch.com/2014/10/its-final-count-downgoodbye-ohio.html" target="_blank"> She said</a> she is going to "live in the moment rather than dissolving it by obsessing about the future and needing to know with a surety what that will look like." She's wise. I want to follow her lead. So, if you see me playing with a tube of E6000 or trying to hang a one legged, strapless costume onto a hanger for fun, remind me. :-) </span><span style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; background-color: white; color: #333333; display: inline !important; float: none; font-family: Georgia, Times, serif; font-size: 16px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: 24.9600009918213px; orphans: auto; text-align: left; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: auto; word-spacing: 0px;"><span class="Apple-converted-space"><br /></span></span></div>

<br />
<ol>
<li><span style="color: #333333; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;">Stretch – Just as dancers have to stretch, it’s
recommended that you are nice and limber before taking on this task.</span></li>
<li><span style="color: #333333; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;">Warm up.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>A quick
jog around the block should help you build up your cardio strength for this
physical undertaking.</span></li>
<li><span style="color: #333333; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;">Prepare your supplies: Several pair of eyelashes, eyelash glue, catnip, bandages, water bottles, protein bars, a cat.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span></li>
<li><span style="color: #333333; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;">Open the catnip.</span></li>
<li><span style="color: #333333; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;">Feed catnip to cat.</span></li>
<li><span style="color: #333333; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;">Turn off the lights.</span></li>
<li><span style="color: #333333; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;">Spin in circles 10 times. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>(You can reduce your spinning to 5 circles if
your dancer is over the age of 8).</span></li>
<li><span style="color: #333333; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;">Find the cat.</span></li>
<li><span style="color: #333333; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;">Place eyelashes on the cat.</span></li>
<li><span style="color: #333333; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;">Hydrate. (Both yourself and the cat).</span></li>
<li><span style="color: #333333; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;">Bandage your wounds.</span></li>
<li><span style="color: #333333; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;">Instagram your cat.</span></li>
<li><span style="color: #333333; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;">Eat a high protein snack.</span></li>
<li>
<span style="color: #333333; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;">Now you’re ready to practice on your child.</span></li>
<li><span style="color: #333333; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;">Open a new pack of eyelashes.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Now, throw them away.</span></li>
<li>
<span style="color: #333333; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;">Open another pack of eyelashes. </span></li>
<li>
<span style="color: #333333; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;">Open the lid on your glue.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Rub it all over your hands.</span></li>
<li>
<span style="color: #333333; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;">Carefully place glue on the edge of the lash.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Don’t get too much, or it will ooze. Don’t
use too little or they won’t stick.</span></li>
<li>
<span style="color: #333333; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;">Wait the magic number of seconds until the glue is
tacky.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>This number can be calculated by
taking the relative humidity and dividing it by 3, then add the weight of an
apple and divide by purple.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>This number
is ever-evolving.</span></li>
<li>
<span style="color: #333333; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;">Ask your child to shut her eyes.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Carefully place the lash just above her
natural lashes.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Don’t put it too far
down or you’ll glue her eyes shut.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It’s
really hard to dance that way.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Not
impossible, but hard.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Don’t put it too
high or she’ll have what we call “Shark Lashes”<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>- two rows of eyelashes.</span></li>
<li>
<span style="color: #333333; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;">Instruct your child not to move until the glue is
dry.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Refer to the above formula for the
appropriate amount of time.</span></li>
<li>
<span style="color: #333333; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;">Ask your child to open her eyes.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Remove the lash and repeat the previous four
steps.</span></li>
<li>
<span style="color: #333333; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;">Once both eyelashes are successfully and appropriately
applied, instruct your child that she is not to sneeze, blink, cry, or yawn for
the next 12-14 hours.</span></li>

<li>Look at the competition’s website for a schedule.</li>
<li>Check <a href="http://www.dancecompetitionhub.com/" target="_blank">Dance Competition Hub</a> for complaints about how long it takes the competition to put out a schedule.</li>
<li>Compose packing list.</li>
<li>Clean out last year’s costumes from Dream Duffel.</li>
<li>Pretend like you don’t care about how much money you are packing into a rubbermaid container, never to be worn again.</li>
<li>Get on<a href="http://www.amazon.com/Wooden-Combo-Hangers-Natural-Finish/dp/B006IDY4NW/ref=as_sl_pc_qf_sp_asin_til?tag=dancpareprob-20&linkCode=w00&linkId=7DVQAVNNNW2IDAVT&creativeASIN=B006IDY4NW" target="_blank"> Amazon</a> to order new hangars because there is not a single costume on a hangar in the bag.</li>
<li>Email teacher to find out if costume was supposed to have two gloves.</li>
<li>Look at the competition’s website for a schedule.\</li>
<li>Run to drug store for eyelash glue.</li>
<li>Find full tube of eyelash glue that you just bought last fall in side pocket of Dream Duffel. </li>
<li>Google how to clean 3 ounces of smashed 5 month old deodorant out of a canvas bag.</li>
<li>Look at the competition’s website for a schedule.</li>
<li>Taken inventory of make up. If you have everything you need, you’ll be ordering a different brand this year. If you are out, so is the store where you buy it.</li>
<li>Check the jewelry box. Note that one earring is missing. Email teacher to order a new pair.</li>
<li>Remember that you do not yet have a hotel. Spend approximately 4 hours on the computer researching prices, proximity of hotel to the venue, and availability of a continental breakfast that you’ll not even be able to eat because you have to leave the hotel so early each day because your dancer manages to have a 7 am call time both days. </li>
<li>Get on <a href="https://twitter.com/DanceParentProb" target="_blank">Twitter</a> to complain about hotel prices.</li>
<li>Priceline and hold your breath.</li>
<li>Look at the competition’s website for a schedule.</li>
<li>Email teacher to see if she has a schedule yet.</li>
<li>Wonder why your emails to the teacher are suddenly bouncing back as undeliverable.</li>
<li>Drive to rehearsal.</li>
<li>Write a check larger than your car payment to cover entry fees.</li>
<li>Claim the “lost” glove from step 7.</li>
<li>Return home and realize that the costumes are still laying on your bed.</li>
<li>Throw costumes on top of your dresser. You’ll finish in the morning.</li>
<li>Look at the competition’s website for a schedule.</li>
<li>Get on Twitter to complain that there is no schedule.</li>
<li>Morning is here. Get packing. </li>
<li>Look at the competition’s website for a schedule.</li>
<li>Carefully place each costume into its own garment bag. </li>
<li>Label each garment bag with the name of the number and your child’s name.</li>
<li>Lay each costume neatly into the Dream Duffel.</li>
<li>Put make up, tights, earrings, and accessories each in their own little pocket.</li>
<li>Take a picture of your masterpiece because an hour into the first day, nothing will be in its place. </li>
<li>Look at the competition’s website for a schedule.</li>
<li>Check your team’s Facebook page. Read that the competition has not put out a schedule, but they would like for you to bring a 10X12 float for a spirit contest and would like you to follow their very strict guidelines for entry.</li>
<li>Look at the competition’s website for a schedule.</li>
<li>Unpack Dream Duffel so that you can recount the costumes to make sure you have everything.</li>
<li>Ask your dancer (even if she’s 17) to make sure every shoe has a right and a left.</li>
<li>Fill your car with gas.</li>
<li>Count costumes again.</li>
<li>Look at the competition’s website for a schedule.</li>
<li>Begin packing snacks for 14 hour days.</li>
<li>Realize that you have no snacks and go to the store.</li>
<li>Return home and pack the snacks.</li>
<li>Play a round of Tetris to remind you of how to pack your clothes, the Dream Duffel, the snacks, the shoes, the dancer’s bag of clothes that aren’t costumes into a trunk that is only half of the size of the items you are bringing.</li>
<li>Count the costumes again.</li>
<li>Pack the trunk</li>
<li>Look at the competition’s website for a schedule. It’s there!</li>
<li>Realize that your child’s first dance is at 7 a.m. Her second one is at noon. Her third is at 8 pm. Awards are at midnight.</li>
<li>Buy more snacks.</li>
<li>Put the venue address into your GPS. Realize that three blocks from your house, your GPS has updated to the latest version and it’s driving you in the wrong direction.</li>
<li>Arrive at venue only to realize that all of the roads around and leading up to the venue are closed because of a street fair. </li>
<li>Obtain detour map from helpful volunteer. </li>
<li>Drive in circles for approximately 45 minutes.</li>
<li>Arrive at venue in a rush, thinking you are late, to find out that the competition is running two hours behind, despite having only started an hour ago.</li>
<li>Have fun and be prepared to do it all again in a few weeks!</li>

They won’t put up schedules in a timely manner and it’s hard to book hotels and/or plan your vacation dates from work when they won’t even put out a skeleton. (I do give Masquerade some credit. They put out a skeleton when they announce their schedule for the year.) <br /><br /><b>Pack lots of sunscreen.</b> Put in on your kids first. Repeat often. There’s nothing worse than packing a sunburnt 8 year old into an itchy costume that’s covered in sequins.<br /><br /><b>Anxiety Relief</b> - this one’s up to you. Ask your doctor for some Valium. Bring wine. (I don’t recommend mixing those.) Do yoga at sunrise. But chances are, you’re going to be stuck in close proximity with THAT mom for about a week.. Not to mention, you’re going to be stuck in a hotel room with your dancer and/or family for a week. You’re going to need stress-relief. All of these options are probably cheaper than bail.<br /><br /><b>Don’t stress out over the word “nationals.”</b> First of all, there’s about 30 going on around the country on any given week. Secondly, I’ve never seen someone NOT qualify. And finally,regionals have gotten so ridiculously long (4-5 days) that a nationals is nothing more than regionals with higher entry fees.<br /><b><br />Don’t plan on doing anything outside of the competition.</b> Well, ok, do. But be prepared that when they get around to giving you a schedule, it’s probably going to poo on all of your plans anyway. I think they have some sort of formula that creates the schedule to be as inconvenient as possible for each individual family. <br /><br /><b>Back to that everyone qualifies thing - everyone qualifies.</b> Even that number that was so painful to watch at regionals. Bless their little hearts - but their parents’ money is green too. So, you’re not going to get the super top of the line you would expect with such a fancy title as “national finals<br />Dance Parent Problemshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12513189022647423958noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9162136820283018234.post-16324853730958310302014-06-06T02:30:00.000-07:002014-06-06T02:30:03.094-07:00Featured Friday 6/6/2014<div class="separator" style="background-color: white; clear: both; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Verdana; font-size: 12px; line-height: 19.200000762939453px; text-align: center;">

<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">This is my 9 yr old daughter Megan Sikes. This is her solo I am a good girl. She has worked really hard all year on improving her technique. She truly is an amazing kid. This year has been incredible year for Megan. In November she auditioned for Abby Lee Miller and made it pretty far in the auditions. Abby gave her some very positive and good advice. She told her she was not right for the audition today but might be right for it another time and to keep working on her technique. Megan took this to heart and stretches and works on her technique every day. Megan suffers from type 1 diabetes but does not let that hold her back. This year she has done great and has accomplished a lot. She has won her very first title of Miss petite platinum with a first place overall. All her competitions she has scored the highest placement all platinums, lightning gold and in the top 5 overall including 2 first places. I couldn't be prouder! She is proof that hard work really pays off.</span></blockquote>

<div>
Presenting a series of rhetorical questions from Dance Parent Problems: </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<ol>
<li>As much as we pay in competition entry fees, would it kill the companies to provide free drinking water for the dancers?</li>
<li>Why do kids rush to be the first on stage at awards? Even after they've been told to wait. At least 3 times. Do they think that they’ll score higher if they are nearest the emcee?</li>
<li>When you're in a venue the size of Giants Stadium, why do you have to share a dressing room with three other teams?</li>
<li>Why don't the vendor tables sell useful items like clear nail polish, eyelash glue, scissors, and make up remover?</li>
<li>Why do the staples always come out of a $12 program book? Can't you buy better staples?</li>
<li>Why must one person in a hip hop number always break from the group and lip sync while waving her arms?</li>
<li>Do nice, polite kids ever get special recognition or do we just not notice because their parents aren't obnoxious?</li>
<li>What's up with awarding an automatic platinum just because someone's music stopped? Bent legs and no plie are not cause for a platinum, a capella or not. </li>
<li>Why do all employees of a competition wear 6 inch heels. Is that a skill you have to put on your resume?</li>
<li>Why do competitions allow a dancer who can do a perfect triple followed by a flawless tilt to remain in the novice category, yet, if you snap a pic on your iphone, they're on you like the KGB.</li>
<li>What's up with some competitions (who shall remain nameless here...as much as I want to call them out) treat intermediate teams like second-class citizens? If you don't want the offer the levels, you don't have to.</li>
<li>How can a platinum be 290 at one competition and 270 at another.</li>
<li>Why do competition have bronze and sliver awards if they never use them?</li>
<li>Have you ever seen anyone NOT qualify for nationals? I haven't. </li>
</ol>

<br />
This post isn't necessarily for those of us who are already dance moms and dads. It’s for everyone else. Grandmas, uncles, cousins, friends...and most importantly, for those people who are on the fence about enrolling their child in dance classes.<br />
<br />
Dance Moms <b>doesn't represent anything that’s real </b>about the dance world - any of it. It certainly doesn't represent pre-pro dancing, which is what Abby tries to claim. (She frequently claims that many of her students are big professional stars. And maybe they are, but they didn't get there by participating in the hysterics that that show offers up.)<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgg8TEvulJFkxUeP1xhfeeBLCpVLmoF8xzqN4wKv1F5zE3iS4oKc0Biki9C5cJhCQ69acC8zSjjek2ReAexRES68sBBlUeqQide41EqLgtjRUPmLLfGDH60k22QYz0jMbh3YToPTV0bvps/s1600/NoDanceMoms.png" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgg8TEvulJFkxUeP1xhfeeBLCpVLmoF8xzqN4wKv1F5zE3iS4oKc0Biki9C5cJhCQ69acC8zSjjek2ReAexRES68sBBlUeqQide41EqLgtjRUPmLLfGDH60k22QYz0jMbh3YToPTV0bvps/s1600/NoDanceMoms.png" height="200" width="200" /></a></div>
<br />
What irritates me the most is the way the competition world is portrayed. I've been a competition mom for a very long time and as my oldest and youngest are many years apart, I don’t see myself leaving this arena any time soon. I've seen a lot. But I've never seen anything like they portray on that show.<br />
<br />
I won’t say that everything is always sunshine and roses. You’ll encounter people who aren't very nice. You’ll experience people who cheat, who think their dancer is the next Anna Pavlova, who you worry might try to break the leg of any dancer who gets in their way. There will be people who are only in it for the “glory” - the trophies and whose lives hinge on where their child’s solo places that weekend. People involved in dance at every level step on people to get what they want, they name drop, they trash other dancers or studios. (I promise I’m getting to the point.) They can be downright nasty. But... replace the word dance with the word football and tell me it’s any different? Maybe less glitter. I think.<br />
<br />
<b>They way this “reality show” depicts life inside a competitive dance studio is ridiculous</b>. The thing is - those of us who live it KNOW that. (And if you follow me on Twitter, you’ll see me ranting and raving about just these things each time it’s on.) The reason I’m angry is because of those of you who watch who aren’t dance parents. This is the picture you’re given of what dance teachers and parents are like. It isn’t real. If it were real, my kids wouldn't be doing it.<br />
<br />
I know that everyone’s experiences and everyone’s studios are different. There are great teachers and owners just like there are bad ones. I can only speak to my experience and say that dance has done far more for my children than it has ever been negative. Dance teaches <b>poise, responsibility, encourages physical fitness, and builds lifelong relationships</b> - not just for your kids, but for parents too.<br />
<br />
Still not convinced? Here are some things I've seen recently on Dance Moms that do not happen in the real world.<br />
<br />
<ul>
<li><b>Competing every weekend</b> - again every studio is different, but I can’t say I know anyone that competes every single weekend. Competitive dance is expensive. Unless you have a cable station footing the bill, you won’t be boarding chartered buses or airplanes to get to weekend competitions.</li>
<li><b>Learning new numbers every week</b> - most studios learn their competition dances and then spend weeks or months cleaning them, getting them ready for competition. And I do not believe for one second that those kids don’t know those dances before they “learn” them on the show.</li>
<li><b>Physical fights in the dressing rooms</b>. Snotty comments made under your breath, yes. All out fights...never seen one.</li>
<li><b>Teachers demeaning students (and parents)</b> - I know it may happen. Like I said, there are some pretty rotten owners out there. I can’t say I personally know a single parent who would put up with the made-for-tv abuse that the girls and their mothers endure on that show. If you find a good studio, it just doesn't happen.</li>
<li><b>Pitting kids against each other</b> - Competitive teams don’t just have one 13 year old and one 8 year old. Your kid might have a solo or a group dance against her friend. It’s a good opportunity to learn about sportsmanship and losing AND WINNING gracefully.</li>
<li><b>Pulling a kid out of a number because you don’t like the mom.</b> It just doesn't happen. People that aren't on t.v. have businesses to run. That’s not really an income generating activity.</li>
</ul>
<br />
<br />
It breaks my heart to know that so many of you are steering away from dance because of the made-for-tv drama in what is decidedly not a reality show at all. I hope you’ll let your child experience the <b>joy of dance and performing.</b> The feeling you’ll get when watching them will not be equaled. I promise you that.<br />
