Now that nattys season has begun, here are a few reminders:
- These are all kids so be kind!
- Itās not a good look for us full grown adults to be raging about how kids we donāt even know performed
- donāt post anything negative on social media, most dancers are on TikTok and instagram (& their parent could be here on tumblr) and can see it
- Nationals is super scary, so mistakes happen, weāre all human
- these kids have a ton of pressure on them already, so be mindful of what you post (even if ur trying to be nice, saying something like āif you donāt win im quittingā could make someone feel pressured)
- if you think someone else shouldāve won, thatās fine but you really donāt need to say it publicly
- so much more than just the dance offs are considered in nationals so just because you think some people shouldāve placed higher in the dance offs, doesnāt mean thereās some sort of bias
- you can lift someone up without tearing someone else down
- everyone has worked the butts off the entire season for this so no matter who wins, they truly deserve it
- be ready for the crazy dance mom posts hehe
Good luck to everyone competing (& all the lovely moms who are about to experience the most chaotic week of their life)! As always, stay kind!
