Competition season is among us, and we can’t wait! Here are seven things we wish we knew sooner about competitions: 1. Your score doesn’t determine your worth 2. The judges are there for you, not the other way around 3. Their win isn’t your loss 4. No matter what happens on stage, your coaches, family and team are still proud of you 5. If you always win, you never learn 6. You deserve to be on that stage 7. Competition critiques are a way for you to get better as a dancer and a team; take them as gifts from the judges Inspo (#6 and #2): heyitspickett #competitiondance #competitiondancer #dancersofig #danceteam #dancecoach #danceteacher #dancetraining
