Sorry I have to disagree. We have several girls who place in the top all the time and we have no politics behind us. The best dancers will win with or without politics. (NT) My dd does. 09:41:52 03/03/03 Mon

This is not always true- I've seen excellent dancers take a second or a third to mediocre dancers. (NT) -- agree to disagree, 10:27:35 03/03/03 Mon

What level are we speaking of? Even excellent dancers have bad days. There are several age groups where there are so many good ones its hard for anyone but mom to decide who won (NT) -- agree to agree to disagree, 09:39:11 03/04/03 Tue

what about the little and cute factor? seen that preference far too many times. (NT) ;( 04:51:10 03/05/03 Wed

Oh pullleees. I have a little and very cute dd and she can't seem to place. Little and cute is often talented as well. But when it isn't your kid it's harder to see the talent. It's easier to believe your kid is better and the other kid is winning on the little and cute thing (NT) -- What tripe!, 08:24:48 03/05/03 Wed
Have to agree little and cute gets points just for 'the look' not skill. Even when the 'cute' have the off day, they still stand a better chance of placing. Our teacher has even told her students 'pretty wins every time.' So, you can't tell me that looks don't bias the scores. (NT) -- seen it too many times, 04:33:07 05/10/03 Sat
