Respect for the competition, the organizer, the fellow dancers

vrijdag 9 mei 2008 12:45

Have you noticed the dancer's behaviour during competitions ?

 

1.  the mess in the change rooms,  blocking all walkways with bags, luggage, the sun- tan spray, sun tan foundations and hairspray on floors, walls even on the clean garments which happened to be hung in the direction of the spray.

2.  the washrooms, toilets clogged with tissues with sun-tan products, blocking outlet of natural body by-products,  and for God sake do not ever try to flush the mess pr you need build an Noah's Arch.

3. The incredible mess on the walk ways around the  dance floors.

The spilled coke,  water deliberately poured on the floors, carpets by "Latin" dancers,  who require more traction than the unfortunate Standard dancers, who can trip and get hurt if their cleaned soles get too much grip on the dance floor during a slide in QuickStep.

Have you not seen the dancers trying to do their last minutes stretches in the filthy floors,  not even paying attention their beautiful gowns are picking up all the dirt, during their splits etc ?

4. How about the dancers sitting on the raisers ?   Dropping food,  banana peels,  leaning over that open cup or a bottle of drink,  tipping it over and letting other to step, sit in it ?

 

Have you looked at the bottom of your dance shoes lately during a competition.  If they could talk they would tell you  how little respect  you and others have for the competition  and for fellow dancers.

 

Why not act during competitions the way you would act in your own house ?

We have had problems at our competitions too.  There is a very good chance we may even lose our main venue due to the poor behaviour of some of the competitors.

  I have caught some of the older kids causing problems but they don't care, nor do their parents as they are mommy and daddy's precious angels and can do no wrong.  The sad thing is these kids, besides being at the age where they should know better, are also the kids competing in pre-champ and champ and thus should be roll models for the kids below them.

I have had it with bad behaviour.  It has increased the costs of competing and as I said, has most likely cost us our main dance venue.  If the parents are too wimpy or uncaring to keep an eye on their brats then it looks like the rest of us will have to.

I'm not saying all the kids are like this but enough to leave a bad taste about having to deal with them.

I think that competitions should put onto the entry form that anyone causing damages will be responsible for those damages and will be given a  suspension.  Perhaps hitting them in the pocket book or  losing the ablility to compete will smarten these people up.
