If it wasn't the right tune don't dance to it. Dancing to it says "I don't really know my music" Step out of a ready to dance position and politely say "I'm sorry, that's the wrong tune." -- No name, 14:15:24 11/14/23 Tue

This was my U9 at an overseas major. At that young age they don't know unless they've been taught what to do, feared being disrespectful. Talk about spending a ton of money for overseas majors and for that to blow it. (NT) -- OP, 20:41:29 11/14/23 Tue

I feel for your dancer and what happened, it’s heartbreaking, we had a similar situation not long ago. Those paid to be in charge need to pay better attention. (NT) -- Learn & grow from it is all you can do, 21:11:11 11/14/23 Tue
Sorry, a dancer who can't speak up when the wrong music is played shouldn't be going to a major. -- No name, 10:11:51 11/15/23 Wed

The danger in stopping is that if the dancer is wrong and the musician is right, the dancer is penalized. I’ve seen it happen. (NT) -- Better to dance and let judge ring bell, 09:48:59 11/17/23 Fri
