I have no problems with going to see other studio's recitals, but I think the problem is with what you ^^ just described. You JUDGE. What's the point??? It's really none of your business how another studio's recital is and how it measures up to your standards. If you want to go see one - go and take it for what it is - a show for that studio's family and friends(and I have NO problem with anyone coming to mine), but why create hatred and especially take students along for the criticism?? They're just children on that stage trying to dance for their loved ones!
