Dance competitions are not for the faint of heart. You have to have the heart of a lion and the hard head of a rhinoceros to make it up there with the big boys, and girls. Some people don't have the stomach for dance competitions. They whine about the long hours and the grueling training schedules, and eventually go along their merry way.
Are you one of these soft-bellied spineless cowards that bows out in the face of competition and shrinks away from possible success whenever difficulties arise along the path? Dance competitions may not be for you then. You've got to be a monster, never thinking twice about destroying everything in your path, dance competitions included.
So what if the other contestants at dance competitions all seem to be better than you? If they are, watch them and learn how to improve your own moves. One must also attend other dance competitions where they are not competing sot at they may see dancer's styles and steps.
