To go or not to go? ✈️💃
The debate is real! Every dance parent eventually faces the “solo trip” dilemma. While it’s hard to stay behind, the growth I see in dancers who travel with their team is incredible.
The Pros:
✅ Independence: They learn to manage their own schedule and gear.
✅ Confidence: Navigating a new city with their team makes them feel unstoppable.
✅ Bonding: Those late-night hotel room laughs build friendships that last a lifetime.
The Cons:
⚠️ FOMO: You’ll definitely miss seeing those stage moments in person!
⚠️ Trust: You have to feel 100% confident in the studio’s chaperones and planning.
Are you a “send them off” parent or do you prefer to be there for every trip? Let’s talk in the comments! 👇
