I've heard these kind of negative comments over and over. No, my dancer will probably not make a career Irish dancing, but neither will they in soccer,lacrosse,etc. No activity if truly loved with passion is ever a waste or ridiculous. My daughter is happiest when in the studio with her dance friends, learning new steps, supporting and celebrating her school. It's what brings her the most joy. I your child finds this in whatever activity they pursue

It is important for a child to be well-rounded. 7 days a week dancing leaves little to no time for family, non-dance friends, academics, or other activities. (NT) -- !!!, 22:15:51 06/07/23 Wed
- Unfortunately you don’t see what you’re missing until you’re on the other side. My DD recently stopped competing and said she wishes she had done so sooner. (NT) -- More clubs, friends, new activities, 07:49:48 06/08/23 Thu
It is if the passion is a dead end. That’s when a parent needs to show leadership and redirect her. (NT) -- Wrong track with this nonsense, 11:24:58 06/14/23 Wed
- Mind your own kids and stop telling other people how to raise theirs. (NT) -- To each their own, 13:14:44 06/30/23 Fri
