Dance Eisteddfods. Here are some reasons why they are a good idea.

Groups are an ideal tool for strengthening teamwork and team spirit – which are both things that are crucial in professional dance companies, just about any other career path, and every-day life.

Further stage experience the students gain will assist them in dealing with nerves, in thinking quickly and develop problem-solving skills. They will experience the thrill of performing in front of a live audience and will gain an understanding of professional etiquette and stagecraft.

Dance Eisteddfods encourage students to practice gracefully and accept the judges' decisions and to be gracious in defeat or as winners.
Competitions can help to build up an emotional resilience that will help dancers deal with critiques and feedback in all aspects of their lives.

Dance competitions are a great way to help students to push themselves harder and to help them strive for more polished performances with better technique. Eisteddfods encourage dancers, choreographers, and teachers, to work to their highest possible standards. Excellent performance requires practice, mental focus, and refined technique and skill.

The judges at a dance competition are industry professionals, and getting personalized feedback from them is valuable. Competitions are the best way to perform for and receive feedback from expert judges. The judges' critique can help students and teachers improve training, skills, technique, choreography, and performance skills – this is often seen as more valuable than a trophy!

Competitions are such a fantastic way for dancers to have fun with their dance friends and studio.
It's not only about success; it's about going on stage and performing a great routine and enjoying the experience! Competitions are an excellent experience for any dancer and can help develop vital skills that will be useful for their future careers.
