Getting my dance fix by watching the men’s figure skating. #Olympia2022

Watching downhill skiing at the Olympics reminds me there are sports more expensive than competitive dance- so there’s that #danceparentproblems #dancelife #dancers

Still trying to process with the behaviour of all involved with women’s Olympic figure skating- just sad. I’d like to say that I’ve never seen it in dance but it does happen - not to that extent but you see that among certain studios #dancelife #FigureSkating

So happy to see Canadian dancers finally being able to return to dance competitions - it’s been insane for studio owners & dancers here in Canada. #dance #canadiandancer #danceproblems

Miss watching DD dance at Comps but not missing the drama. There is dance life after comps. Watching DD thrive in her college Dance program a plus. Keep that in mind dance parents. #dancelife #dancemom #danceparent

All that effort stressing over placements- those awards,trophies, plaques etc sit gathering dust. The memories however last a lifetime. Focus on creating memories. Trust me no one remembers who finished in what order. #dancelife #dancemom #danceparent

I’ve entered a new phase of Dancemom life sitting on beach during comp season - haven’t experienced this in over 20 years. Not going to lie - it doesn’t suck😂 #dancelife #danceparentproblems #grownandflown #dancemom #dance

Watching DD alumni studio overalls - why is rewarding boys top scores for just being boys still a thing. We are all watching the same thing!!! I know you want to encourage boys to dance but it’s just unfair when it’s not deserved. #dancelife #dancer #dance

Wise words from DD to friends at her alumni studio regarding placements “Mom, you need to them that S$&@ just doesn’t matter, no one cares out here” Perspective is everything. #dancelife #dance #dancemom #dancer #bfa #dancers

Do you ever find that the dancer who does the least amount of work, always out of step is the first to grab the banner, plaque etc and front and center for overall picture - child they one despite you being on the team!!! #dancer #dancemom #danceparent #dancelife

I realized that my tire was flat halfway through the carpool drop off, but I continued to drive on it because the thought of being that parent who holds up the carpool line was scarier than ruining my car.

This is sad , scary & so much an issue that needs to be discussed. Also why do studios continue to support them? Honestly though no surprise given some of the behaviour by instructors at these events! Are they really the only game in town!! #breakthefloor #Dancer

Comments such as “Your daughter is so smart why did you let her study dance” really show the level of ignorance some people have. My response-She’s smart & talented , I’m sorry if that confuses you!😉 #dancelife #dancer #danceproblems #DanceDay

As a mom of 2 daughters the decision to strike down #RoeVWade frightens me to my core. I’m not from the US but this is taking three steps back in women’s rights. I stand with you! #WomensRights #RoeOverturned

Happy Mother’s Day to all the Dancemoms. Your dancers really do appreciate all that you do for them!! #MothersDay #dancemom #dancelife

Dancing daughter home from college straight from the plane to home studio to help prep alumni number. Happy to have her home😊 #dancer #dancelife #dancemom

Gearing up for recitals & Nationals , happy DD will be participating in albeit a ltd capacity 2 years after graduation. Nice to have alumni included. ❤️❤️ #dancelife #nationals #recitalseason
