That thing in the dance competition

Now that the economic conditions are getting better and better, everyone takes good care of the children of all families. There are few girls who don't sign up for a dance class.

On the one hand, it is said that learning dance has a good temperament, and on the other hand, dancing can strengthen the body, so dance classes in the society are hot now. Dance competitions under various names are also emerging one after another.

Of course, if there is learning, there is competition, and the dance competition is the inevitable product of the dance class. After studying for a few years, taking a few grades and winning an award, it is considered a small achievement.

recently, I participated in a competition with my daughter, which was a long experience. It's a big name, and it's organized by China Dance Association. At the beginning of school, everyone signed up one after another, and parents also expressed their active support. But when it comes to the competition and really needs all kinds of cooperation, it's not like that.

first of all, I believe this cost is also the most concerned issue for everyone. Because most of the expenses of the whole process are collected by me, I have listened to and watched the attitudes and aspirations of various families. I have to say that there are indeed many people and many opinions.

When building the team, the instructor took a "vaccination". Although we are participating as a team, we need to take care of the expenses. Although we can apply to the company as much as possible, it is needless to say, it is useless. If it can be done, it will be a pleasant surprise. Therefore, although the registration fee is not a small fee, it is still paid simply. However, the subsequent expenses for clothing, makeup, accommodation and meals were not so pleasant.

"Why do you have to pay again?"

"Didn't you pay the registration fee?"

Some parents directly said, "Why does this job feel like a bottomless pit?"

Especially when collecting accommodation and meals, it is in the lobby of the hotel, and people are relatively concentrated. It is reasonable to collect them quickly. As a result, when there were only a few minutes left, the voice of the roll call broke, and those people were clearly in front of them but refused to agree. Later, through others' knowledge that it was the uncle in front of them, they asked him for it, but there was nothing they could do, so they slowly paid the money.

I used to hear people say that learning art is a very expensive thing. If I didn't realize it during my daughter's study, I really realized it through this competition. It can be said that taking part in a competition costs a lot more than enrolling for a whole semester, but it must be paid.

Needless to say, the registration fee is generally at least 5 RMB per person.

Generally, clothing depends on the team. Although it is one-off, it will not be worn after the performance day, and the materials will not be too high-end. However, most of these clothes require custom-made. Due to the limitation of time and number of people and materials, the cost will be higher. In short, it will be more expensive than usual to buy clothes.

As we all know, it is necessary to hire a special makeup artist to go on stage. This fee is generally affected by the number of people and time, but it can be shared equally, so it is only tens of dollars per person after AA.

Besides, accommodation is a compulsory consumption. Since you are not competing in this city, you must stay in a hotel when you travel far away, but there is no rigid requirement for the program group. If you have relatives, you can stay outside. But considering the weather and traffic, it is definitely not convenient to live inside the stadium. Well, in order to save accommodation, some parents arrange the trip at night, let their children spend the night on the train and get to the stadium early in the morning.

The program group is a little unorthodox about the meal fee. Everyone is required to pay 1 RMB every day, and children are the same as adults. Those who don't live in the stadium only eat one lunch, so the average person is 5 yuan. All children are five or six years old, and they can't eat much, but they have to charge the same as adults, so this fee is more cheat people. Moreover, it is pointed out that whether you live outside or not, you must eat at the stadium at noon, saying that it is to ensure the competition and safety.

what did the organizers do to hold a competition? I don't know what similar competitions are like in other places, but judging from our competition, I haven't seen much done by the organizers. It took more than four months from the notification to sign up for the audition in September to the official competition in January. I think even the biggest competition can be well prepared, but I believe parents are not so satisfied with this competition.

A competition can be notified for everyone to sign up, indicating that the application procedure has been completed, and then the program group will review each program. Our program has been rehearsed every day since coming back from the 11 th holiday. Except for weekends and special circumstances, the audition is to send a video to the program group for direct approval. It's not to emphasize the good of our program, but to say that the program group doesn't need to visit every place, let alone all the staff to stay at the scene for three to five days to review.

The venue of the competition is a military training hotel, which is said to be chosen temporarily. I believe that as the capital, there are quite a few hotels with the same specifications. Why did it take such a long time to decide the venue of the competition temporarily? There is no other decoration except a banner and a decorative signature wall at the entrance of the hotel, and there is no competition atmosphere.

when registering at the front desk, ask the front desk staff who are pushing to the person in charge, and where is the person in charge? We don't even know. The instructor is afraid to ask too many questions, which will affect the performance of the competition, and he is afraid to make more phone calls. Isn't it necessary to arrange a special receptionist to organize the reception after paying the registration fee for participating in the competition? The parents at the scene had different opinions. The teacher asked who was willing to do anything, and no one raised their hands. A child with only one parent had nothing to say. Can't you take the initiative with two parents? Some people cross their legs on sofa stools and become grandfathers.

the host's appearance is during the meal. It is required that we must gather in a team, and then she will count the number of people and enter the restaurant for dinner. Because families have different speeds, some have to go to the toilet, wash their hands, some have to take pictures, and some have not come downstairs, so it is difficult to get together. But even so, the next day she told us that there were more than a dozen people dining, and I don't know how she counted them. You said that you couldn't find a smarter way. Why don't you just give each person a meal voucher?

The rehearsal in the morning and the competition in the afternoon are arranged for the next day.

because we were scheduled to play first, we were extremely nervous as soon as we entered. In January, the outdoor temperature here is close to MINUS 2 degrees, which is very cold. The heating in the whole venue is insufficient, and the performance costumes are short and thin. I am afraid to freeze the children, so I dare not take them off. Waiting for the host to call the roll, they will prepare for the children immediately. As a result, on the stage, we found that the stage was too small for our dance to work. It is definitely not possible to change the action temporarily, so we can only make a slight adjustment. Before the game, I also asked about the stage, but there was no result. I don't know if this should be regarded as our lack of perseverance or the dereliction of duty of the program group.

After several rounds of tossing, the action was finally decided. After coming down, all the children had to go to the toilet. As a result, looking around, in this strange place, I found that there was no staff member to ask. Walking around the venue, I found that there was no toilet, and the only one backstage was locked. How crude do you think this is? Don't so many people go to the toilet? I couldn't help it. I took my children to the building next to me and found that there was no one outside, not even in the left and right buildings. I was planning to make do in the wild and found a leading office building in the distance. My mother and I ran through the snow with one foot deep and one foot shallow. Fortunately, Brother Doorman is an enthusiastic person. I heard that the child had to go to the toilet and took us directly to the door. But in the morning after that, I didn't dare to let Eva drink too much water.

although we were the first to go on stage, we were not allowed to leave the stage after the walk, so we just put on makeup on the spot and got no rest. By the time all the programs are arranged over and over again, they are all awkward, but they still have to be arranged in the formation of the overall curtain call. Because all the children's teachers are different in height, they have to adjust for a long time. This whole morning was the most tiring. Some parents said that they would not come if they had known this, but these children were very cooperative, without crying or feeling. We have to say that the children made us proud.

The official game in the afternoon was much faster. After the late host made a bunch of nonsense and several directors spoke, we went straight to the point. Although there is no lunch break at noon, the children are in good condition. Parents are not allowed to take pictures or take videos during the competition. Except for parents who help their children change clothes, others are not allowed to enter the background. So everyone is holding their clothes in the doorway backstage and freezing, just waiting for the end of the show, and all of them are rushing in to wrap their children. Because it is necessary to take a break from the outside of the auditorium to get back to the front audience seat from the backstage, parents have to take off their clothes and wrap their children tightly like a zongzi to return to the audience. You say this is a multi-pit design.

it's estimated that everyone is complaining, and it's still a capital, not as big as our own stage, and it's well designed.

Later, I heard from the instructor that our competition was already very good, at least the hotel conditions were very good. Some of them are even worse. The rooms they live in don't even have separate bathrooms and windows, and the stage is even more humble. But when we bring our children out, besides experiencing a different life, experiencing the feeling of competition and testing the achievements of this period of time, don't we just want that title?

Therefore, you must be fully prepared for studying art. However, if you don't plan to take this as your main career, there is no need to participate in all competitions. Just cultivate a hobby for the child and let her know that there are many people like her who are working hard. But I have to say that after a long trip and a great event, the children feel that they have grown up a lot. Although there is no material reward for winning the first place, I think parents are also proud of the joy on their faces.
