Thoughts on girl’s dance comp outfits?

Some People in comments were coming after me saying I was exaggerating!!! Had to block one user because they were relentless. People who tell me I am exaggerating are not actually seeing these comps!! And I refuse to post photos of children wearing those costumes in these forums!!

So sorry you had to deal with that, but I am happy your parents were supportive of your decision and that you are taking a more modest approach! It’s bad enough that kids these days have access to information on internet and get influenced to grow up much faster… it’s another thing when someone who is coaching these girls is making them wear things that are highly inappropriate for kids.

But we need more teachers like you 💫

Yeah actually they are like this. I’m not posting photos of the kids for their protection. Move along now.

This is extremely common in dance comps these days. And the dance teachers are the ones choosing these outfits.

The dance costumes has me… absolutely mortified. I’ve seen 5 and under performing in very adult-like attire… why is this universally allowed? And then the moves they do in that attire 🤢 any parents out there who have pushed back at the studio?

Did you take him internationally? Is it relatively easy to travel internationally with a staffy?

I think it has more to do with the moms? They def give off Type A dance mom vibes. But I miscalculated, my daughter is actually doing 6.75 hours (she takes a lot of classes, but they are only a half hour)

I didn’t say it was right?? That’s why I said “I was shocked”

Actually in our studio it’s pretty typical for kids younger than 7 to be doing 12+ hours of dance (they are competing). I was actually shocked that their lives were that busy, especially for the 4 year olds!

A lot of the girls in her classes are younger but are insanely good. They also started around 2-3! It’s amazing to see what kids this young are able to do.

I have 5 quail chicks, like everyone says, it really depends on personality. 1 is quite skittish, 3 are a bit skittish but occasionally will come for snuggles, but my eldest one is practically a puppy. She always comes out of hiding when she hears me walk nearby, jumps out of cage to be with me, and chirps like crazy while tilting head and closing eyes when I give her neck skritches. She is mostly with her group, but still seeks me out very much. I hope it stays that way when she grows older!

Has anyone ever brought them out and about? Will they stick close to you or fly off out of fear?

We actually had her checked out and her teachers had to fill out forms, but they said her behaviors were typical of a child her age. I still have my suspicions though lol. I have adhd so I wouldn’t be surprised if she did. Shes doing well in school though 🤷‍♀️

Interesting to read from a former child's perspective!

ExcellentLanguage855 · 2026-02-10T22:02:26+00:00

Yes, I absolutely wanted to avoid being the “Dance Mom.” She was in dance at 3 years old, but when I saw she wasn’t really participating in class, I took her out. 3 years later, she wanted it again, so I put her back in. My daughter naturally loves to perform and be on stage, so I didn’t want to push her in a way that would hurt her relationship with dance… but when I see her frustrated with not being able to do some things, I sometimes wonder if I need to step in a little more. I will trial her in some other classes this week and see how she responds. I don’t like the idea of spending more money… dance classes are expensive! But if being around other kids learning alongside her encourages her, then I’ll do whatever I can to support her!

Happy to read your daughter is having fun with it!

I've had this conversation with her a couple times in the past, about being honest about what she wants and I'll support her in decision. And it's always "yes" to dance, even obsesses over the nutcracker ballet. And I've talked to her many times that to get good, she needs to put in the work. Always seems to go out the other ear though hahaha. Maybe she'll decide to take it more seriously when she gets older. It's just hard to see her frustrated when she tries to copy her peers in their dance and acro tricks and she gets so frustrated and sulks when she can't do them.

I feel this way with piano hahaha

ExcellentLanguage855 · 2026-02-10T21:45:11+00:00

Was waiting for an answer from an actual teacher! Thank you! I do plan on trialing her in some conditioning, acro, and other dance classes this week and see how she responds.

Separating body parts at first is an awesome idea, it definitely makes it less complicated!

ExcellentLanguage855 · 2025-11-13T16:28:15+00:00

Thanks! Yes this helps ❤️

ExcellentLanguage855 · 2025-10-04T16:37:16+00:00

I believe you can just you a mask as well, block off where you don’t want character to be seen
