First off...the community where I live, we all invite each other to our shows as well, and whether we can make it or not, that is fine but we are invited and once in a while, if I have time, I attend. I would rather spend my time on workshops for teachers/owners to leanr more about the new styles and stuff to make my studio stronger! Who cares about the other studios around you, you need to focus on you and yours! I can't belive that you would come on here and rag about another studios recital and rant about how good you are? Thats pathetic in my opinion. We as teachers work really hard and every studio is different. Some focus on hard core traning and have the best dancers in town and others have a more recreational environment and the kids stay at that studio obviously because they LOVE where they take dance, or they LOVE their teacher or their friends. What kind of an example are you setting for your dancers? Well, obviously not good sportmanship! My dancers were awarded BEST SPORTSMANSHIP this year, because the judges saw them saying good job to everyone going off stage, because they said thank you everytime they won a trophy and because nomatter who won what, they said good job...now thats something to be proud of, thats something worth bragging about. Your unbelievable???
