Today, I’d like to hear from you! I know that many of you compete or enter your students in competition. Competition is a topic of discussion among many dancers, teachers, and parents and I’d like ask my readers,

rolereversal What are the pros or the benefits of competition in dance? And, what are the cons or negative aspects?

I realize that many have strongly held beliefs and opinions on this subject. It is perfectly alright to express these opinions, however, I ask that you remain respectful to those that hold differing opinions. Thanks, in advance, for your participation!

Who Is Behind Dance Advantage?

My name is Nichelle Strzepek and I started this site in 2008 after the birth of my son. There's more to that story, but before the stay-home mom/blogging gig, I spent over 16 years teaching dance in private studios, community programs, and at a public university. My enthusiasm for dance training and education is poured into this blog daily.

Dance Advantage hosts guest bloggers and a few columnists who contribute regularly. Otherwise, everything you see on this site is written, managed, edited, organized, and ardently supervised by me. You can learn more about me by reading and by visiting Nichelle...In A Nutshell.
