First of all, thanks to those of you who completed my little survey the other week… you were all really honest, which I value so much. Thank you. As much as they want to dance for the pure joy of it, they find themselves getting sucked into competitiveness and end up feeling bad about themselves in comparison to others. And the hardest thing about competition is that it has an uncanny way of bringing out the worst in you rather than the best. This leaves us with the big question: How can I stay focused on my own journey and not be fazed by competition? This leaves us with the big question: How can I learn to trust myself — to believe in myself? Another theme that came across very strongly was a longing in a lot of dancers to dance once again for pure enjoyment, for the love of dancing, for the sheer thrill of performing. Somewhere along the way, the joy gets lost and dancing becomes too intense, too draining, too frustrating.
I submitted a video a VHS tape, this was a long time ago. I was called in for an interview. I traveled in a snow storm to go to the interview which went very well and I was offered the job. I was told to expect a contract shortly. Did I get a contract?
Other dance studios argue that competitions offer dancers many opportunities to perform and are important in developing an all-round dancer. Because of the controversial nature of the topic, I thoroughly investigated both sides of the issue. There were 6 pros and cons on each side that really stuck out to me as being strong cases for why or why not you should allow your child to take part in the competitive world of dance. I hope they help you in working out what is best for you and your child!
Imagine dancing for 30 hours a week at the cost of school and a social life. You are constantly told you are not good enough if you make a mistake on or off stage. This is the harsh reality I endured for years as a competitive dancer and it inflicts a constant overbearing pressure to be perfect. We would be busy all year long, but from January to June was when you really had no life outside of the studio. We would choreograph and rehearse, and almost every weekend from April to June, we had a competition. Dance as a sport is not always so fierce in nature. However, for dancers who train at a highly competitive level, the sport can take a toll on their mental health. More specifically, these athletes are often affected by neurotic perfectionism.
