We actually just had a mom who's daughters also take at another studio (fine with us) try and recruit all our boys. My nephew began dance this year and brought a bunch of friends, so this mom invited all of them to the other recital so they would go there. All of them came back to me and said "if I ever say I want to go to this other studio, remind me about that show." I had to laugh at that.

Anyway, I do encourage my students to take elsewhere. I totally agree with my past dance teachers making me who I am today and nobody teaches like me because I had so many teachers. I have more students than ever taking pre-professional camps this summer or going to workshops a couple of hours away. I think that is great!
