Attend Dance. 3 Things Your Dancer is Missing Out On

Get it? Today I'm thinking about attendance. Sometimes, I know, it is just not possible to get your dancer to dance... you're out of town, he/she is sick, scheduling conflict, I get it! But before you decide to let them miss for no reason, think about what THEY'RE missing:

1. Choreography. Making up for missed choreography is SO hard, everyone else knows the dance but still time has to be spent re-teaching for just one dancer.
2. Technique. Its the fundamentals that we practice week after week that build your dancer's ability. Each hour that she misses out on technique she is literally falling behind. The dancers that are in class are getting better by the hour.
3. Discipline. The time that is spent in class is meticulous corrections, repetition, and encouragement. Dancers who force themselves to be in class each week have what it takes to succeed, to be on a team at the studio, high school, college, and professional level.

Don't let your dancer be the absentee! She's missing out on so much in the long run.
