So true! I was shocked when I first came to this page and saw some of the nasty comments. We wonder why online bullying is so prevalent amongst kids and teenagers, but it clearly starts with what they are learning at home. It seems that some parents just can’t come to grips with the fact that good dancers win because they’re good dancers, and they have to make some kind of excuse for why their children aren’t winning. The cheating scandal was very sad and appalling, but the way that parents talk about children on these pages is just as bad in my mind, if not worse.

My kids play multiple sports where their uniform identifies the team for which they play, so I never really have questioned when my child is dancing against a dancer from a school where the dress has some kind of theme from their school. I know my child’s dancing has to speak for itself regardless of what we are wearing.

Don’t let the negativity of a few overshadow the positive on this page! There are quite a few that are trying to be helpful and supportive!
