COMPETITONS!!- We compete on Friday nights till Sunday afternoon.- We always have a pep rally before we leave.- There is a lot of preparing and packing involved.- We always stay in hotells.- So much fun!- You get to meet other dancers, and be with your friends

Practices……• I am at dance Tuesday-Saturday

• I have about 2 or 3 classes a night

• On average I’m at the studio from 5-930 a night

• The practices for comp are tough and long

• I usually eat dinner and do my homework there

• If your being lazy and not working hard you will get sent home….

~Career & Health Issues~

• Famous dancers usually dance from about age 20 to early 40s. This is because as you get older your body Isn’t as flexible and more likely to break a bone. It would be a fun job though to get paid to dance.

• To stay skinny most dancers either starve themselves or make themselves throw-up.

• That’s why a lot of them have health issues with bulimia and anorexia, and end up in the hospital very sick, or die of not eating.

Parades and Performances:)

• Every year we dance in the Salisbury / Spencer Christmas parade, and the Kannapolis one.

• We also dance for local churches, and at special events, in Salisbury.

• The parades are a lot of fun, but are so tiring, and by the end of them I am EXHAUSTED.

Rules and Guidelines.• If you’re a comp dancer you have to give a

copy of your report card to your teacher.• Nothing below a C average.• If you show up late to class, you have to sit out

and take notes.• If you forget dance clothes/shoes, you either

have extra exercises or you run.• Have to have a good attitude, and always do

your besttt!
