I also go to recitals - this season I went to one or two per weekend for 6 weeks!

Its good to see how you stand up against "competition". Our tap is the strongest in the area; our jazz is okay. It certainly gets me revved up for the following year. This year, our major competition proved to really stink in recital, so I was relieved. Maybe people will wise-up, who knows....

How do I know when the shows are? Well, in our case, many families come to us for tap and elsewhere for ballet or jazz. So they invite me.

I'm just a teacher, and no one knows who I am, so I'm fine. I try to leave right at the end and not mill around with others.
