High school dance isnt your typical studio

Pirouettes, jumps, leaps, and basic technique is what all dancers have in common. For whether one is dancing by themselves or with a team they all share the basics of dance, but teams will differ based on who they are dancing for. High school dance teams are more team oriented and are better for the dancer than being on a studio dance team. First off, the amount of time the dancers spend with each other and the bonds they make differ from studio to dance team. They styles each use also differ, from the technique they use to the types of dance themselves. Lastly, the way each competition is run and how the judges judge each type of dance differ. I myself have danced in studio for 13 years and on the dance team all throughout high school, and I know others who have done the same. All dancers that I have talked to have said that being on a high school dance team has been more beneficial to them, and more enjoyable than being on a studio competition team.
In studio’s, girls are obligated to take different classes. There are different recreational dances and depending on the studio there will also be a competition team. When taking a regular studio class, non-competition, you practice once a week for the recital you preform for at the end of the year. The competition dancers perform more often at competitions for different awards. The girls see each other at least a few times a week for practice. On the other hand, a high school dance team will see each other every day during the season. Not only are they seeing each other at practice but they also have school together. This constant contact brings a team closer together. There may be a lot, emphasis on a lot, of drama during the season, but that is only because they want the dance to be perfect for the common goal of winning state. The competition dancers may become close but without the constant contact that the high school team has, a lesser bond that is formed between the girls. On
