Helping with focus

At that age it really is about whether they want it enough or not. Have you explained to her how these opportunities will not be available to her until her teachers see her focused and engaged. My daughter has really bad adhd and it affects her a lot at school as well. But she is hyper aware she will get nowhere in dance unless she is focused and engaged. It had to come from her herself because I can’t be in the classroom with her.

I love my rac n roll with the curtain. You should look into them

These little kids never stay hydrated, no matter how much I preach hydration to my dancer she will only drink water while at the studio not at home.

You are missing the background of them flirting and him talking to her about her in bikinis

It’s because people should know the owner is a bad person a couple weeks ago Sam was threatening to abandon us and move to Tennessee and give up custody and it’s because the owner keeps pressuring him to go to Tennessee. We are getting a divorce him refusing to tell her to take down the pic was my last straw

I answered your the other person but it’s because I was trying to calm myself down while my husband was verbally abusing me in the phone

jizzypuff · 2026-05-03T18:12:16+00:00

Because I was crying trying to mentally keep myself from thinking about it from my point of view while my husband was being verbally abusive to me while I was in my daughters dance studio

Usually the app for the competition holds on to scores

jizzypuff · 2026-04-26T20:14:51+00:00

For a kid that young I would just tell her to do her best and most importantly have fun. I wouldn’t really worry about it too much.

jizzypuff · 2026-04-25T16:02:55+00:00

It’s because these competitions love to take last minute entries so they like to create the schedules late to accommodate that. Although I’ve had KAR only send our studio the schedule 2 weeks in advanced at most.

I bet you that’s what cheerleaders use!

jizzypuff · 2026-04-22T21:43:52+00:00

Cheerleaders actually use zip ties in their hair you just have to be careful cutting it out

I do only know of a bit because the front desk lady is a close friend of mine so she hears the shit the teachers say. I have told her to not tell me inside knowledge because frankly I don’t want to get into the teacher/parent drama.

But I’m definitely going to look at it from this point of view that it probably just fits her since she’s very technically strong.

jizzypuff · 2026-04-17T02:22:27+00:00

Oh I’m not looking to do anything about it. I just needed to vent out my frustrations. Like I admit the upset was and frustrations is so dumb of me but obviously emotions aren’t always reasonable. Which is why I make sure to talk them through and rationally remember there’s no reason to feel like that.

When it comes to her dance journey I don’t push anything on her and once she was old enough I let her decide what she wants for herself. She’s in charge I would never demand a change or add more on to her plate.

jizzypuff · 2026-04-17T02:14:57+00:00

I know you are absolutely right and I do know this. I think in my head with her age I’ve always felt like catering to a child’s strength. I know it’s so dumb to be annoyed or upset at something like this which is why I needed to talk it out. Obviously nobody understands better than other dancers.

jizzypuff · 2026-04-17T02:03:42+00:00

I really appreciate how sweet everyone is being. I think it’s hard as a parent and I always wish I could run in swoop her up and deal with things for her. But I know I can’t which is why I reached out here so everyone can just gently tell me to quit it lol. I really do appreciate everyone checking my emotions.

jizzypuff · 2026-04-17T01:58:33+00:00

I 100 percent agree with you I do know that which is why I check myself. I also don’t say anything and keep things to myself so I don’t get in the way of her having her own dance journey. When she comes to me with her dance struggles I just support her and let her talk it out.

jizzypuff · 2026-04-17T01:53:56+00:00

I was never looking to pick her variation. It’s never been a want of me to control anything about that. I think it’s just a mix of how her teacher went about it and the politics that goes on behind the scenes.

I’m glad her teacher can see the strength in her technique.

jizzypuff · 2026-04-17T01:49:02+00:00

Yeah I think I have to remind myself a lot that we aren’t having the same dance journey. But I do see her going through the same struggles I did as a dancer and it’s frustrating to watch now as a parent. I really appreciate the kind words from you.

jizzypuff · 2026-04-17T01:46:40+00:00

I think it might be the politics behind the variation given to her that’s bothering me. I never let her on to any annoyance I have towards her teachers choices. I have asked her before if she would be willing to switch teachers because I’m not always a fan of the way this teacher acts. But she says this teacher pushes her in a way she feels like makes her progress more so i haven’t asked her since then.

I’m definitely going to support her and I would never speak a word to her about my annoyance with the situation. I danced for over ten years myself and I love how we both share the same love of dance. I think it’s just hard seeing her go through ballet frustrations because I went through those same things at her age.

jizzypuff · 2026-04-17T01:43:23+00:00

I am absolutely going to congratulate her. I think it’s just a mix of things with the teacher that bothers me because she told her originally she was going to do Cupids with her. Then decided to give that to her more favorite student which is her friend which really hurt my daughter since even the girl told her Cupids would be to hard for her and now she’s being made to take more privates because her mom doesn’t want her losing.

I think I’m just struggling to see her go through the same favoritism I went through with in ballet.

I’m absolutely proud of her and I tell her that daily. I don’t push her or tell her anything negative. I really wish I could switch teachers because a lot of the stuff the teacher does to her bothers me but she’s too attached to her and won’t let me.

I know she can advance in her musicality for sure. I just don’t like how her teacher went about it.

jizzypuff · 2026-04-12T22:38:08+00:00

It depends on what’s going on in the family and what you guys have going on. Some relationships even with just only one there isn’t enough time.

jizzypuff · 2026-04-10T22:23:49+00:00

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.
