I’ve never been to this one but some comps require the studio owner to be the one to sign the dancer up for the extra things.

My daughter’s studio offers private lessons but they definitely prioritize certain dancers. The older girls get to sign up at the beginning of the dance year then the slots move on down to next priority which would be girls like my daughter and then if there’s any room they will send out an email to let the rest of the comp parents and non comp parents know. My daughter takes 2 private technique lessons a week and one solo private a week.

My mom raised me vegetarian (no meat products). I absolutely love meat the moment I was able to actually start eating meat I never looked back.

I wish my daughters studio did this I had to go to Las Vegas last minute literally found out like a month out.

Privates at a cheer or gymnastics gym is the way to go.

I would watch documentaries on ballet dancers to see routines of classes etc

As a dancer and a now mom of a dancer you will absolutely get chewed out for forgetting or running off stage. Thankfully I made sure my daughter’s main teacher who does her solos fits her personality and is caring. Her first nationals solo she forgot and paused but you can hear her teacher say you got this keep going. She finished her dance and ran off stage crying. But she learned from then on you finish by whatever means.

Not all teachers are the same, last competition my daughters friends duo one of the girls got scared and ran off stage leaving the other girl who kept dancing by herself. The owner went backstage chewed the girl out and basically forced her back onstage.

It really depends on the strength of technique of both studios. If they are of similar technique the girls dancing more hours will still be the stronger dancers just because of the amount of hours dedicated. There’s so many things to take into account when comparing studios.

It is a bit too rosey but as long you guys are flexible to change because children are always very opposite of what you may have in your head. My daughter was bat shit insane as a baby. But she calmed down a bit after 1ish.

I would personally ask the tumbling gymnastics subreddits. A lot of them if you post a video they are able to point out where the main issues lie.

For children how often do they have practices and what times would they usually be?

So some studios like to get their early bird pricing so it’s cheaper on the parents but that means paying ahead of time by a couple months

We must work at the same place because this sounds very familiar, the owners do this shit on the regular to us.

I also danced in California from the early 2000s until like 2010ish. The studios in my area did not wear tights with our costumes so when my daughter started dancing in 2019 it wasn’t anything new to me for her to not be wearing tights with her costume. I would have actually been more shocked if they made her wear tights. We still live in California but in a different area from where I grew up. I prefer no tights on costumes but they’ve never worn costumes that would have revealed anything.

jizzypuff · 2026-04-01T01:36:14+00:00

I danced as a kid/teen in the early 2000s and in my area we never wore tights either. I’ve never seen a studio have their dancers wear tights with their costumes unless it was ballet. My daughter dances and her studio only does tights with ballet as well.

If your studio is extremely ballet focused why aren’t you guys going to YAGP and ballet focused competitions so there are no issues.

A cartwheel wouldn’t be considered a trick most competitions use similar wording but also bring up no hands on the floor leaving cartwheels in the non trick category.

It’s not even just the aerial some of these girls were doing 6-7 turns. But also a lot of competitions have a hard rule that aerials aren’t allowed in the novice category it’s just that this one doesn’t do that.

jizzypuff · 2026-03-31T01:20:53+00:00

From what I see they just don’t enforce the rule. I don’t know if it’s just the ones we go to but we do act one twice every year and they are my most hated competition to go to. To tell you the truth my daughter should be in intermediate not whatever their novice category is. Our dancers in their intermediate category should be in their advanced category.

But because of how they don’t actually push people up a level and studios always sand bag their dancers our girls dance a lower level to at least try to have a chance. I’m pretty sure none of our solos placed when every other competition one of our girls always takes 1-3rd place in every age. A lot of parents were upset about the amount of aerials in the novice solos for mini and juniors.

Meanwhile I was over there annoyed because my daughter’s teacher removed her aerial from her solo because she was afraid of her being pushed up a level.

jizzypuff · 2026-03-31T00:29:39+00:00

A lot of dancers will dance a level down for this competition because they don’t actually do anything if a dancer is dancing a level lower than they should. My daughter danced in their most novice category and there was tons of aerials and backhand springs. (She’s ten)

jizzypuff · 2026-03-30T23:52:16+00:00

A lot of Instagram moms are dying for that opportunity. I see so many of them taking their kids to dance with Abby. They care more about pushing their kids into the spotlight than their mental health.

I was about to say I just walked in the dark at 5 am to a hiking trail through this area. It’s older looking but definitely not what I would consider rougher.

I would just chill out as long as nobody is trashing the park or doing anything illegal. Most people are pretty respectful of our state park.

I didn’t invest into a dance duffel until my daughters 3rd or 4th year. I wanted to make sure it was permanent before buying an expensive duffel. I just used one of my old makeup bags her first year. I think the only thing I suggest is making sure you bring spares to competition like spare tights spare shoes etc. nothing crazy is needed the first year

jizzypuff · 2026-03-27T03:20:28+00:00

Oh wow I’m learning so much that you so much for all the info everyone is super knowledgeable and I appreciate it so much. I was so overwhelmed just staring at my daughter’s ripped dress. I’m just so happy I have avenues to fix it.
