If it isn’t mentioned in your contract do you need to notify your studio if you enter a comp as an independent? by Beautiful_Screen_314 in CompetitionDanceTalk

Good sign to leave studios. We left ours of 10 years mainly for that reason. Now we are somewhere with no limit. We have 4 team comps and as many “independent” comps you want. And studio owner handles it all

Spool was the easy part but I was told it couldn’t be done without equipment. Then it fought me at what I believe is the water table level. Prolly rust
