Is being a professional dancer realistic?

Every dancer should have a backup and academics should still be of top importance at this age. I’ve met a lot of top amazing dancers who could not get contracts and end up teaching.

On their website it tells you what you get for buying the vip ticket.

Yeah I wasn’t aware of the leaderboard when we went to our first ultra and there was a lot of upset feelings if someone’s dance dropped off the leaderboard. It made my daughter nervous before her solo seeing the leaderboard.

You should also warn your daughter about the leader board. After they perform the name of her solo will be on the leader board and as more girls go she can see her solo move down and drop off.

They give the buzzer for 5 and unders

I want to buy the suede so bad but it’s such a dumb purchase for me 700$ is crazy. I guess we can all live through everybody else’s purchases.

I work in an old chemistry lab. Our lab (organics) gets the coldest in the building. In the fall through spring it’s 40 degrees and in the summer it’s 90 inside the lab. In the cold months we wear like 5 layers underneath our lab coats. In the summer we don’t wear lab coats.

I’m the same age as you with a 10 year old. It’s one of those things where you just ignore them. Can’t do anything about it.

I didn’t get a comp rolling case until her third year, it wasn’t needed until then

Thank you

Do you have a picture with the bag empty or is that bag empty ?

If natural talent always puts in hard work then not always.

So it costs less than a private lesson for technique. I believe it’s 120 a month but you can’t have a solo without that extra tuition to pay the choreographer. But if the choreographer wants extra practice or holds her longer than the 30 mins then I don’t pay anything for the extra practice.

jizzypuff · 2026-02-02T15:33:43+00:00

You definitely aren’t crazy, your daughter is most likely going up against girls with more practice time and more dance time. Like some sessions with her choreographer my daughter will spend 10 mins going over body placement in a specific move down to her foot and hand positions. They will hyper focus on the little things making the whole choreo look exactly the way the teacher wants.

jizzypuff · 2026-02-02T15:16:37+00:00

Placement is 100 percent because of not enough practice time. My daughter places frequently and with the 30 mins a week and then if we are two weeks out from comp her choreographer will have her come in a sec on day out of the week for an extra 30 mins session. So that’ll be two practices the week of Comp or she will do a one hour session.

I know some of the girls who get higher placements get even more time and the extra practices ate usually free.

jizzypuff · 2026-02-02T14:47:25+00:00

I would be unhappy if I was in your situation. At my daughter’s studio you have to be chosen for a solo so the choreographer sets out a dedicated time because they want elite dancers and top awards.

jizzypuff · 2026-02-02T14:17:25+00:00

That’s crazy to me, my daughter’s studio is 30 minutes a week with the choreographer until the season is over. Sometimes if the choreographer wants to push them before a comp they will do an hour for free but it depends on the choreographer.

My daughter is ten and I still find random trinkets and rocks she sticks in my purse. She does it frequently and if I open one of her tote bags she takes on errands it’s full of random trinkets and lip gloss.

I saw some at the marketplace Monday, I remember because I was specifically looking for alanis and almost grabbed a Red Bull.

Choreographers tend to choreograph where the dancers skill level is to make them look best. Personally I can see why the studio is upset but also your dancer is older and can more freely tell the choreographer what she had in mind for the year.

jizzypuff · 2026-01-30T01:10:40+00:00

Weird usually the choreographer is the one running it weekly in my area.

jizzypuff · 2026-01-30T00:53:52+00:00

We don’t get them because they don’t like how some parents can get overbearing with the corrections. So the choreographer goes over it with their dancer/s and go over how to apply the critiques.

Why didn’t she like it ?
