When it comes to resilience, the dictionary defines it in two ways: 1) the power or ability to return to the original form, position, etc., after being bent, compressed, or stretched; elasticity. 2) the ability to recover readily from illness, depression, adversity, or the like; buoyancy.
At Studio 56 Dance Center, we explain resilience as a combination of both definitions. We like to think of it as the ability of a dancer to bounce back after being faced with a challenge, experiencing an unexpected outcome, going through a difficult time, or being stretched past where they thought they could reach.
For our competition team dancers, developing resilience isn’t just a perk; it’s a necessity. Throughout dance practices and competition events, we know there will be times when their ability to be resilient will be tested. There is a choice in those times to either give up or grow, and we’re teaching our students how to choose growth! With that in mind, here are some of the ways we are developing resilience in the team:
Learning how to handle outcomes you didn’t think were fair
As a team, we discuss healthy ways for the dancers to express their disappointment when they don’t receive the award or recognition they wanted. An important part of this conversation is how they manage their expectations, remembering that our purpose for competing is not about the trophies; it’s about doing our best work.
Understanding the importance of your self-talk
We discuss how self-talk can build people up or tear them down. Our goal is to help the dancers recognize this influence and practice positive self-talk. A growth mindset comes from the self-talk that says every mistake or failure is an opportunity to learn.
Owning your behavior toward others
In moments of high emotion, it can be easy for dancers to lash out at friends (or other teams or judges) for problems that happened in practice or performance. As leaders, we are committed to teaching our students that placing blame doesn’t serve anyone well. It’s key for everyone to accept responsibility for their own actions and reactions.
Getting back in class or on stage with a clear mind
One of the hardest parts about developing resilience is letting go of past troubles. We’re striving to teach our students how to leave grudges behind and come into every rehearsal and performance with a fresh perspective and an open heart.
We want our students to know that you don’t become a resilient adult overnight; you must practice the behaviors that build resilience in order to reap the benefits. We’re proud of the way our competition team students are growing stronger in this way, and we appreciate all you do as parents to support these lessons at home. We are all in this together!
Performing in the concert is a brand new experience for most of our young dancers. And while some will find it exciting, others might be a little nervous. In our experience, one of the keys to concert success is encouraging your child to do their best and reassuring them that you are proud no matter what.
So, what’s it going to be like when the big day rolls around? What’s reasonable for you to expect from your child? We’ve put together some of our best advice for a rewarding concert experience with your little one!
Remember that ….
Dancing on stage in front of hundreds of people is a pretty big deal! Some dancers are shy and others ham it up. However, they react, allof our young dancers are gaining a tremendous amount of confidence by performing in front of a crowd. Through this process, they are learning about self-expression, demonstrating their skills, and gaining a sense of accomplishment.
Strong emotions might occur, and that’s totally OK! We’ve seen dancers who are so excited to perform they can hardly stand still, and others who suddenly become worried that they can’t see mom and dad way out there in the audience. In our experience, most of these big emotions dissipate after the dress rehearsal. But we do have a few special tactics to calm and comfort our littlest performers when needed, so rest assured they are always in good hands!
Live performances can be unpredictable—and often in positive ways. But you may wonder whether your little one will forget the dance routine or if they’ll have a case of stage fright. Though those things do happen sometimes, they don’t mean your child’s future in dance is over. (In fact, far from it!) We know we can’t predict exactly what will happen, but we can guarantee that we are as proactive and prepared as possible.
Our curricula are designed to focus on gross motor skills and dance fundamentals. Our students are being taught age-appropriate movements that align with their physical development. Don’t expect your little one to perform with the same knowledge and skills of a dancer who is older or more experienced! Technical progress comes over time as each dancer moves through our class levels at just the right pace.
Success comes in many forms, and we do not promote perfection as one of them! Instead, we talk in class about the dancers trying their best and having fun while they perform. Success is both the child who comes off stage beaming with joy AND the one who shyly admits she enjoyed it; it is both the child who remembered every step AND the one who forgot a few but worked super hard. We want to celebrate every version of concert success!
We hope you enjoy watching your dancer onstage at the concert and seeing how far they’ve come this year. All of us at Studio 56 Dance Center are super proud of our young dancers’ progress!
Making a commitment and sticking to it is a lesson that seems pretty easy to learn, but isn’t always so. It can be a challenge—especially for young dancers—to navigate a big responsibility like that! One of the most valuable life lessons our competition team dancers learn at Studio 56 Dance Center is following through on their commitments.
From the start, joining the competition team isn’t something a dancer does on a whim. There are auditions to prepare for and schedules to align. There are team policies to consider and extra expenses to budget. In fact, at Studio 56 Dance Center, we understand that participation isn’t a choice made only by the dancer; it’s a family decision.
We know that our competition team requires an extensive commitment. But we also know that the long-term benefits our dancers will experience from this commitment will far outweigh any temporary conflicts that may pop up during the season! Below we outline the most important advantages to our competition team students when it comes to honing this essential skill:
Agreeing to a commitment teaches future-thinking
With a competition team agreement, dancers are looking ahead to an entire season and asking themselves, “Am I willing to give 100% effort all year to follow through on this commitment?” Most pre-teens and teens make decisions based on how they feel right now, which is normal in adolescence. Making a decision based on thinking ahead is a skill that needs sharpening. Through their passion for dance and agreement to the competition team, our dancers are learning how to consider the future in their choices.
Following through on a commitment sometimes requires sacrifices
Though it can be an uncomfortable lesson to learn, sometimes making a commitment to the team means that it overrides other opportunities like parties, travel, or school social events. Our students may find themselves feeling tested by their competition team commitment—and that’s OK. We understand that it will happen and have built our attendance policies with it in mind. It’s not easy, but standing by their commitment teaches our dancers to act with integrity.
Abiding by a commitment shows reliability as a team member
As a team, our competition students form close bonds and learn to depend on each other … sometimes emotionally andphysically, depending on the choreography! Becoming a reliable teammate shows each team member that they respect each other and value each person’s contributions to the group. They share in this commitment together and learn to appreciate the effort everyone makes to achieve success.
We hope you’ll discuss with your Studio 56 Dance Center team dancer all the positive ways they are growing from following through on their commitments. We’re grateful that they’ve chosen dance to be one of their top priorities!
As part of the competition team, your child is logging MANY hours at the studio at this time of year … plus school, plus homework, plus life with family and friends. They are juggling all the important things in their lives, gaining valuable life experience on what it’s like to balance their responsibilities. Sometimes (OK, maybe a lot of times!) they are so busy that they also need a reminder on what it takes to stay healthy.
Your dancer’s well-being is a top priority for us at Studio 56 Dance Center, just like it is for you at home. During this busy competition season, we’ve put together some tips to help your dancer optimize their health and perform at their peak:
Nutrition and Hydration
A dancer’s body really is their instrument; it’s not just a common saying! Proper nutrition literally fuels their bodies so they can do their best work. And of course, water is THE essential element of the body … it can’t be underestimated. Not being well-hydrated can contribute to muscle cramps, headaches, and fatigue, which no dancer wants to encounter during a competition.
To feel their best during the event, we recommend that dancers have a small carbohydrate-rich meal a few hours before taking classes or performing (a peanut butter sandwich on whole wheat bread or cup of oatmeal with fruit are good options). A snack that combines carbs and protein can help with muscle recovery afterward (think cheese and fruit or hummus and veggies). And of course, drinking water frequently throughout the day is a given!
Sleep and Rest
We’re sure you know as well as we do that the two key ingredients of sleep and rest sometimes get skimped when it comes to adolescents. According to the National Sleep Foundation, most pre-teens and teens should be getting 8-10 hours of sleep each night. While that’s certainly something to strive for, you can also help your dancer get better quality sleep by helping them keep their room cool and dark at night, charging their phone overnight in another room (yes, that might mean buying an old-fashioned alarm clock!), and establishing “screen-free” quiet hours.
When your dancer does have downtime, encourage them to rest. Being in constant go-go-go mode means that their adrenaline is often high. Their bodies need periodic opportunities to feel real calmness and relaxation to counteract that stimulation. We know it isn’t always easy to encourage rest in addition to a full night’s sleep, but even half-hour intervals throughout the week can make a big difference in a teen’s physical and emotional well-being.
We appreciate ALL you do to support your team dancer and boost their healthy habits. And don’t worry; we know that sometimes they need to hear these things from us too. At Studio 56 Dance Center, we’re committed to keeping this topic in the spotlight. Expect for your dancer to continue hearing reminders at practice!
The concert is known for creating special memories—both for the dancer and for their family and friends. It is a sentimental moment in time for many parents, watching their child perform in front of an audience! For most of our dance families at Studio 56 Dance Center, it marks the closure of one year’s journey in dance and “sets the stage” for the next.
After the concert, costumes become special mementos, programs become keepsakes, photos become scrapbook centerpieces, and DVDs often become your household’s most-watched entertainment! The time may have passed, but the souvenirs remain … along with the personal growth each student has achieved.
One comment we often hear from parents after the concert is how their child won’t stop talking about it! The excitement lifts them up long after the curtain has come down. We love hearing about this kind of enthusiasm, and we hope you’ll keep the dance conversation going at home. This is an excellent time to listen to what your child has to say about what they liked best or what was challenging. Being able to reflect on the experience and communicate that to others is another awesome skill to develop!
Sometimes the memories made at concert aren’t the ones you’d expect. Maybe your dancer became distracted at one point onstage and made a silly face that made everyone laugh, or maybe they forgot a step during the dance and seemed discouraged. Live performances can be a little unpredictable like this, but with a growth mindset, you and your child can still choose to see the positive outcome. Like how that silly face was sweet and entertaining, and grandma loved it. Or that forgotten step? What a way to show perseverance!
The lifetime memories made at the concert enrich our students’ knowledge and understanding of what a performance encompasses. They create context for other performing opportunities, such as in theater or music, and they build the kind of confidence only experience can deliver.
Performing onstage is an incredible opportunity for dancers to share what they have been learning in class, and to showcase their progress from the beginning of the year to the end. Learning how to dance is a gradual process, and some skills take years to fully master—but however big or small the steps are, it is a major accomplishment for anyone to perform in front of hundreds of people! All the hard work is worthwhile when a dancer experiences the high fives and smiles and congratulations that the concert brings from classmates, family, and friends.
Whether it’s a young dancer performing for their first time or a teen dancer performing at the end of her senior year, concert achievements are incredibly special to celebrate. Lifelong memories are made from those achievements—and for many dancers, a true passion for dance is ignited!

Of all the benefits your child gains as a competitive dancer, artistry is arguably the one that becomes most personal to them. With Studio 56 Dance Center’s competition team, we aim to teach the style and finesse that give performances their polish … but the true nature of being an artist comes from within the dancers themselves.
Along with a deeper understanding of dance, artistry flourishes as dancers mature. The way a student dances at age eight is certainly different than at age 12 or at age 16. The combination of technique, skill, and artistry develop in harmony over time, sometimes in striking ways and other times with more subtlety.
The advantage for your young dancer’s future is that dance combines athleticism with artistry in a way no other activity does! They are learning more than just the athletic feats and technical skills needed to become the best dancer they can be; they are unveiling their artistic potential.
With our competition team experience at Studio 56 Dance Center, we strive for our students to benefit from this artistic edge at every stage of their education. It allows them to become more comfortable with expressing themselves, it challenges them to be vulnerable at times, and it develops their humility. And what a bonus it is to also form bonds with their team members who are immersed in the same type of artistic experience!
Artistry isn’t something that can be taught in the same way as technique. With artistry, we must encourage our students to tap into themselves and connect with each other. They learn to go beyond the skills to reach emotions and details in their experience. Sometimes artistry is about big moments, like using certain facial expressions at just the right time. Sometimes it’s more about the stretch of your fingertips, or the energy from your core strength.
Discovering their inner artist means that each competition team student is also expanding their critical thinking skills individually and collectively as a team. They are cultivating a thought process where they might need to reflect on a personal experience, create a character or mood, self-edit, ask for specific feedback, or offer feedback to others.
If artistry sounds difficult to develop, it certainly can be! Some dancers find that artistry is quite tricky; others find it very natural. At Studio 56 Dance Center, we teach that there is no right or wrong way to become an artist in dance.
As a competition team dancer, your child will notice this growth in their artistry each year as they gain more and more performance experience and apply what they learn. The benefit to them will be in their personal journey and progress, not in the awards they achieve. While it’s wonderful to be recognized, it’s the personal fulfillment that will keep driving each dancer forward as an artist.
You know when you’re on the way out the door and find yourself literally skidding to a stop because you (or your kid) forgot something super important? Your laptop, that homework folder, those lunchboxes, someone’s phone …
We’ve ALL been there! And as we approach each competition, we want to help you feel as prepared as possible with these quick and easy organization tips. No more last-minute-forgotten-shoes. No more oops-I-didn’t-bring-my-makeup-kit. Keep reading; we’ve got you covered:
First and foremost, help your dancer prepare a packing list! We recommend starting to pack a few days prior to each event so the day-of feels much less stressful. Jot down everything that needs to get packed, which will likely include all of the following items:
Costumes, accessories, makeup kit, tights (and backup tights), shoes (and backup shoes), undergarments, hair supplies, warm-ups and other team-branded layering items, water bottle, snacks, phone charger
Build a “survival pack” if you don’t have one packed already. Think of all the extras that might come in handy: bobby pins, safety pins, clear nail polish, Q-tips, baby wipes, hand sanitizer, deodorant, band-aids, a single-use ice pack, elastic, a small sewing kit, etc.
Label your dancer’s belongings wherever possible. Add their name or initials (in a small, inconspicuous place) to each item to reduce the chance of something getting lost and disappearing forever!
Read back through all of the communications we’ve sent regarding the competition. We know life is BUSY so we ask that you take a few moments to ensure all of our reminders are clear. Double-check that you and your dancer understand their commitments during the entire event from start to finish.
Make sure all of your dancer’s travel plans have been confirmed, including directions and parking for the venue if you’ll be attending the event yourself.
The night before the competition, bring the packing list back out and check everything off one more time. It can’t hurt!
We may not have learned how to control time yet (or especially how to control time at competitions!) but we CAN control our own readiness. While we are getting organized at the studio, we hope you’ll use these tips to get organized at home. As always, reach out to us with any questions!
The concert may seem far away right now, but months of preparation are needed to make sure every dancer is as ready as they can be. Just as football teams must practice for months before the Super Bowl, dancers must practice for months before the concert!
The time required for concert preparation helps teach our students how to work towards a goal—a goal they can take personal pride in achieving. Some dancers may also be reaching for individual goals, such as improving on a specific step in the choreography or dancing with more poise and confidence than they did last year.
So, what are some of the ways our students are working toward their goals?
Well, as soon as we begin learning choreography in class, each dancer is beginning to develop their memorization skills, both in their mind and in their muscles! Our instructors are also continually offering corrections and adjustments for the dancers to apply; these small tweaks help each student fine-tune their individual part in the group’s dance.
Once the full routine has been taught, “cleaning” the choreography begins. This is a simple way to say that our teachers will be helping the dancers improve their routine by practicing the concert dance many times, making it stronger and more polished with every run-through. This process makes it possible for the dancers to reach their full confidence with the steps, which in turn makes the goal feel truly achievable!
With the outcome of their concert performance in mind, many dancers also take it upon themselves to practice at home. Others write down their corrections from class in a journal, so they can remind themselves what to work on between classes. And still others spend time building up their mindset, using positive self-talk and affirmations to strengthen the belief that they can accomplish the goal they’ve set.
What’s extra-awesome about working toward the goal of concert is that it’s a long-term goal and can’t be met by immediate gratification. Through dance, your child is learning what the “compound effect” is, how small efforts over long periods of time contribute to success. This lesson is going to benefit them time and time again as they set new goals.
Even our youngest dancers are beginning to understand what it means to work toward a goal. Although they are still developing their sense of time, the seeds are planted for them to know that we are practicing with a special event in mind … one where they’ll get to show off everything they’ve learned!
Performing in the concert, after all of the preparations and hard work in the classroom, is the ultimate example of goal achievement. Though the months and weeks leading up the show can feel long, your child will experience the incredible thrill of achievement once the performance is complete!

WINTER BLUES- push through the cold weather and winter blues
While we can’t stop the snow from falling, we can help our dancers beat the winter blues by warming them up with dance. The Winter months are the best time to be attending dance lessons since seasonal depression kicks in and there is not as much outdoor time to be had. Dance lessons get you moving, laughing, and make you forget about those icicles outside for just a little while! If your dancer is struggling to push through and come to class, it’s worth the encouragement! If you can just get them in the door, they are going to have a great time and leave happier!
