Genuine question here as my little girl is dancing in opens. But do kids of dance teacher parents always win? I'm noticing a pattern of girls and boys winning all solos and all championships and their kids of dance teacher parents. But others do deserve a 1st spot too. I have seen this in the younger age group so much with kids not getting a look in when they deserve a 1st. Just this weekend every 1st place and yet so many kids in the age, but I could have given 1st to 2 or 3 different girls. -- AN COMHDHÁIL IRISH DANCING FORUM

An advantage +access to more classes and feedback. It makes sense that they move through the grades and place for younger age groups. However, you then see that a lot of them fall in their world placings as other children finally gain the same knowledge. I’m not saying your LO didn’t deserve the win, but I do think it makes sense that a dance teacher’s LO has better technique at a younger age. The others do catch up, the older they get and some are just very talented and retain their top spot! (NT) -- DM, Wed, Jan 22 2025, 16:47:45
