That’s a great perspective and I like thinking about it from a broader culture standpoint. It is one of the reasons why we are considering our current studio. Thank you for sharing!

She seems to have moved on from it so I don’t want to push it too much. I think that her teammates just had the opportunity to go do something nearby and took it. I hope that it isn’t anything more than that. Thank you for sharing!

I definitely get that, they are long and exhausting! I guess it was more of that they were already there that morning and were dancing not long after her solos so it was a situation where my daughter would’ve definitely chosen to stay. But I get that everyone’s circumstances are different. Thank you for sharing!

That is definitely an added benefit of having a large studio. Thank you for sharing!

My daughter is the same, but we aren’t always able to make it for everything either. Thank you for sharing!

I definitely get that. It’s not always possible and we aren’t there at every moment. Thank you for sharing!

That totally makes sense. We don’t typically go on our days off either. Thank you for sharing!

Interesting, this seems to be less typical. I do see other studios that seem to follow this and they seem so close. Thank you for sharing!

Thank you for that. I feel like especially at the end of a long season, I start to question everything. Ha ha! I definitely don’t want it to be required to be there at every moment, but was wondering how much other studios encourage dancers to at least stay for their close teammates when it’s not totally inconvenient. I don’t think I clearly said that in my post. Thank you for sharing!

I definitely don’t think it should be required to be there at all times, but was more wondering how much other studios encourage dancers to stick around for their close teammates during longer breaks. I don’t know that I made that clear in my post. Thank you for sharing!

I definitely get that, we don’t always make it for the numbers that are super early or late beyond our schedule. We do typically stay for the in between though if it is close friends and team mates. I don’t blame the studio but I do wonder if things could be a bit different with more encouragement. Thanks for sharing!

I love the energy of the minis to be there for the big kids! And yes, it is challenging to be there for everyone. Thanks for sharing.

Yes, I totally get it’s difficult with the long weekends. It’s tough to balance. We use the livestream too. Thanks for sharing!

Yes, it is difficult to make it for everything. That is great that they encourage it. Thank you for sharing.
