OT I'm Putting This In This Section Because I Don't See An All Star Dance Section

[Mo' Bettah]

You guys think the world should revolve around cheer and it isn't. Don't say you don't, cause many of you shimmied and or directly said, USASF should get rid of dance all together and focus on cheer.

I think you are missing the point. This is a cheer board. Most people on here have kids that cheer or are somehow involved in cheer. I have no interest in Dance.

well there is no ACTIVE place for all star dance. I know for a fact, that not everyone on here are cheerleaders. So I posted this thread in the hope of some reliable post. But because half of you know nothing about dance, you guys decide to be rude and obnoxious and say things like, USASF should cut dance and so forth. There is a Dance Moms thread going on in the random section, why am I getting beef for posting dance related but that other gets nothing????

It always seems to be like that for me no matter what I post and how nice I try be at first. But hey, you live and you learn. Fierce Board, shouldn't allow anonymous to be an option. If it didn't allow it, I can guarantee, that half of you ( not you, just speaking in general) would be saying some of the things you say to me and other people on here.

I hate to be a stickler for details, but I am totally thrown off by this whole thread are we talking about a new All-Star Dance gym or an All-Star Cheerleading gym?... I feel a good catfight is brewing up, but it just feel like we need to establish what we are all fighting over... Really! I hate to waste my time, especially now that I've gone back to work... I'm on a clock, now--Tick, Tock!

Oh, my sweet Pebbles, you're asking someone to make sense out of all this? I've got a headache just trying to get through the grammar and misuse of words.

and, yes, I just sub-boarded!

I'm not anonymous. You can see my name and I have plenty of social media contacts. And I still think USASF should eliminate dance from their plate.

But I also want to reply to something you said above. You SEEM to be saying that all star cheer AND dance only exist because not everyone makes the school team. I want to assure you that, though it might be true for some, it is definitely not true for all.

Finally, keep in mind that not everyone agrees with each other on here. In fact, there have been some pretty heated discussions this summer between people that are long time posters. Don't think you're getting special treatment. Ideas here will get raked over the coals. So bring your A game.

Edited quote for size:

What is the difference between all star dance and regular dance?

You know how you have this idea that there's nothing wrong with you and it's everyone else with the problem? you're clearly the only one that feels that way. So, to state the obvious, it is, in fact, you with the problem.

Another thing to realize: you can't change other people, you can only control your own reaction/actions towards other people. So, if you're feeling like something isn't going how you'd like it to go, you might want look within yourself rather than attack.

To be quite honest, although there are some dancers that enjoy dance worlds, most in the dance realm would 1) not notice if they got rid of it because most dancers aren't aware it exists and 2) most of those that do know it exists would not care because there are so many other national competitions for dancers.

Again- I say that as someone who danced competitively for 8 years and is still in contact with instructors at my studio (some of whom fall into the category of having no idea what Dance Worlds is)

I just think its rude to say dancers should just go to Nationals. Don't say that's not what you said because it basically it is. You're using that as another "big" competition dancers can go to. And to speak for other dancers and say most of them would not care who do know what it is, is wrong also. You don't know who cares about DW if you've never spoke to those people "who would not care".

Have you guys heard of energizers dance team? They're a USASF dance team and only for USASF and they have no gym affiliation from my experience.

I also spoke with an regional director, she said there are plenty of studios that compete that are not gym related. Would like to talk to her about that? Cause I checked, an USASF dance employee was a reputable source to ask questions like this.

You guys think the world should revolve around cheer and it isn't. Don't say you don't, cause many of you shimmied and or directly said, USASF should get rid of dance all together and focus on cheer.

I do think that the world should revolve around cheer...on a cheer message board.

 

[astaley22]

Have you ever been involved in dance before? Your cousin has but have you actually been a part of it? It's quite presumptuous of you to say that most dancers do want DW. Regardless of the name of the competition, it is essentially another nationals. That's why I'm saying that it wouldn't devastate competitive dance like how not having worlds for cheer would. All Star dance IS competitive dance. You are dancing for awards at competitions. There are plenty of those (that are larger and more respected) without USASF getting involved.

I've always said this was my opinion and by most dancers, I meant most I've ever known talked to. I apologize for not clarifying.

I'm also confused why this is split into two threads? It's the same argument.

okay we get that you think its rude to call DW nationals. You've said it several times we get it
