Pain after dancing

Hey dancers of Reddit!! 14F. I've been dancing on and off for almost the past 12 years now. I was taking 2 classes, but now I'm taking 7 since I started at a new studio last night.

Wednesday are FIVE hours of dancing, so with everything in total I dance more hours than the comp students at my studios. It being my first day, I left extremely sore and everything is tight and painful.

Any tips to ease the pain?

Is this normal recital practice?

Hi there! I have two daughters who are in dance classes. My oldest daughter (5 years old) is in ballet/jazz classes and my younger daughter (3.5 years old) is doing ballet. Their dance studio just released their spring recital lineup and out of four shows (each featuring different dances) my girls are in three different shows. One at 10 am, one at 12:30 pm, and one at 3:30 pm. Not only are the shows spaced apart but we will need to purchase tickets for each show. Tickets will most likely be $20 per person. For our immediate family to attend all three shows it would cost us $230. Not only will this cost us a ton of money, but the timing doesn’t even sound feasible for our younger children who would be in the audience with us. Additionally, I don’t think any of our extended family will want to spend so much money on so many different shows while having to wait hours between the shows. To put it lightly I am crushed that we might not be able to attend and that our family probably won’t attend either. After paying for three dance classes,buying three $100 dance costumes, and watching my girls excitement about this recital… it is so disappointing.

The dance studio’s recital information email said that they made an effort to keep siblings in the same show but weren’t able to for everyone. We obviously did not get lucky. My husband is furious and wants to quit dance after the recital. He thinks it is a money grab and wrong. I am feeling very bummed about it but I am new to the dance world and not sure if this is normal. Does this usually happen when dance studios have more than one show? Is this worth complaining to the studio owner about? Should we consider switching to a smaller studio to avoid multiple shows in the future?

Thank you so much for reading

Six flags dancer experience

(Idrk if this is the right place to post this sorry guys)

Those who were performers at six flags what was your experience like? Like audition, performing, pay?? I've always wondered what the audition process was like and what kind of dancer usually gets the job. The last time I saw a performance was in the summer at the Georgia location and the dancers were very nice to watch and had great technique, but l've been curious about if there's requirements or anything. And honestly l'm just curious about the overall experience in general if it was enjoyable or not. Thank you in advance!!
