EXACTLY. and like when the seniors were laying on stage our team would massage their heads bc we knew how hard they work. our team loves our seniors, and at our recitals we literally form a puddle of tears on the floor when the curtains close. i remember i couldn’t stop crying bc one of the seniors graduated. okay sorry for wasting ur time.
You should’ve done the one with all the props. One time at a comp a girl had so many props and ended up forgetting her dance within the first 15 seconds
I always feel bad for the dads. They can't do anything to help their child when the kids in the dressing room. My dad always wanted to help me get ready but he was never allowed in so he just stood outside the door awkwardly and every time a mum came out he'd ask if I was ok by myself.
"The one that's injured" I felt that on a personal level since I mostly 99.99% all the time right before a competition I injury myself and my dance teachers are always just like really again.
i’m a competition dancer too, i remember a few years ago i had a girl on my team who’s grandma was the ultimate queen. miss girl made sure she had your favorite gatorade, candy, chips, like she had everything it was iconic
Ikr they are so annoying, there was one studio that kept side eying us. We were dancing at a basketball court and there was some girl taking up the whole dressing room like the whole thing practicing her leg hold turns, layouts, tucks, all of that
(M not trying to brag I jus kinda feel proud of myself for once) THIS WEEKEND MY TEAM ONE FIRST IN OUR DIVISION WITH ALL OUR ROUTINES AND 2nd OVERALL AND ITS OUR FIRST YEAR GOING TO COMPETITION🥺💜💜💜💜 also we got back around 3 am it felt so early lol
i have competition this weekend and i am so excited i haven’t competed in so long and last time i had like barely any dances and now i have like 8 dances so i am so excited and yea i love your videos
I remember I had a competition where I had to change half way through the dance like a full strip down and I had to SPRINT back to our dressing room because the stage had took my costume which was back stage and hand taken my second costume back to the dressing room then I had to SPRINT back in my pointe shoes and a sorta long dress thing to the stage and I was barely on time big dancer vibes lol
as a dancer who turned competitive after 9 years of training (so I was well a senior to the bunch of children when I started competitions) I can attest to being completely drained by the time awards come around, everything happens so late and lasts for ages 😭
for the first dance, my studio requires us to be there at 6:30, literally an hour before doors open😳 most of the time i don’t even compete till 6:00 pm!
So, I dance, but not competitively, *however,* I did do competitive cheer, and you absolutely nailed the peppy announcer, the one doing tiktoks the whole time, that one crazy group during awards, that one group that takes up THE ENTIRE HECKIN HALLWAY, the poor seniors during awards, and basically all of them lmao.
OMG THE SENIOR AWARD ONE IS SO FREAKING TRUE, like it’s never stop fighting so see who gets the freaking award, but yet this is gonna be me in like two weeks, but like you can’t forget the numbers will all the props
I had a dance recital and I had a hip hop costume on that had a jacket, shoes, tank top, and sweat pants. I had ballet soon after, 2 dances to be exact so me and my friends had our ballet costumes on underneath our hip hop. It was really hot that day and we we’re sweating.
this- *this* this is *perfect* the discovery of this channel is good karma for all the stressful essays I had to write lol 🤠✌ so mad at myself that I missed the premiere- UK time difference really coming in strong 🇬🇧👍
I’m always freaking out before my solo. I once cried and my eyeliner went crazy and I had to go on in 2 numbers and my mom whipped out a makeup wipe and eyeliner and rushed it 💀
i've never been to a competition where the announcer is not crazy energetic😂😂 8:17 i went to compeition in dallas a few weeks ago and this was the alumni talking to me before my solo hahaha
i feel so incredibly called out by the leotard, quick change, "good luck!" and "showed up 3 hours early" ones that i wouldn't be surprised if you were stalking me
OMG SAME AND THE BOY ISNT EVEN GOOD AND THEY GAVE HIM EXTRA POINTS AT AN AUDITION AND THEY GIVE HIM SPECIAL ATTENTION AND PUT ME IN ALL OF THE LOWER CLASSES WHEN I WORKED MY BOOTAY OFF FOR 8 YEARSS (and a lot of people left bc of it) TEEHEE ok yea i had a lot to say 😂😂
@@genevieveross5007 oh no. Well as long as she tried her best. I forgot half of my routine and just stood there for a few secs lol. Then I did an old dance to finish.
Ok the injured one is just accurate. My friend broke her foot in 4 different places and only found out weeks before competition and it had been broke for a while but like first night of comp and they had to take her to the ER because her foot turned blue. Long story short she was fine and was in a boot all competition and the we did our dance and she broke another bone it her foot.
I'm the "internally freaking out but complimenting and comforting everyone else because I'm the 2nd oldest so I literally feel like their mother" (they only allow people to be in my comp tap group til end of 8th grade so rn I am 2nd oldest cause my friend is in eighth grade and I'm in 7th)
One time (I was four) I went into the wrong dressing room and my mom had to come get me (then I started crying cause I thought I was in trouble)😂. Fun times
Omg I had a time where I got off stage for ballet , and the second I got in the wings I was pulling my bun out putting it in a high pony and trying to change from pink tights to black tights while walking 😂😂
Oh my goodness, I am so the dancer who can't find their studio dressing room! At my first dance competition for YAGP semi-finals I was in two ensembles at my dance studio and when I got there to go check in I asked where I was supposed to go since this was my first time at YAGP (and like I said, dance competition in general). The lady just told me to "follow the arrows on the signs." But guess what? There were A LOT OF SIGNS WITH ARROWS ON THEM! I tried following them like I was told but I kept finding the wrong dressing rooms. After about 20 minutes of doing this I was frustrated, stressed that I was going to be late, and felt like crying. Luckily some of the girls from my studio who were in a different group dance passed by me and I asked them where I was supposed to go. They kindly led me to our studio dressing room and I was so thankful and relieved! But yeah, that was a very scary and stressful situation for me. This story actually happened about 2 months ago and I'm going for YAGP finals in under a week. So hopefully this doesn't happen to me again.
I remember once a studio was going through their dance in the hallway, and we had to run through the back. One of the people in my team went and got kicked in the face, flew across into the wall and got knocked out.
5:41 at the most recent Competition I went to, there was a dude in charge of the right side of the wings, and let me tell you, he was singing ALL the songs, he even FREAKING KNEW SOME CHOREO FROM WHEN PEOPLE WERE REHEARSING, and he’d hug us when we got offstage. I wanna be his friend.
I was (I'm an alumni at the dance studio I go to) the one that was nervous and then I slept. I legit slept through half the competition because I was so exhausted and then did a solid fifteen minute practice and fixing details
One time I was the last dance in the first half before intermission then I had pictures in a different costume during intermission and the schedule got messed up for pics so we were the last group to get our pictures during intermission (which was 15 minutes) then I was in the second dance after intermission and the pic costumes was a super tight bodysuit so it was so hard to get off and I had to put on different tights, pointe shoes, different makeup, the actual costume, a hair piece, and put my hair into a high bun (it was a low ponytail before) I was barely ready in time to go on stage. I was very stressful.
I knew I was a senior when I went from "I want to get the award! please let me get it (Insert seniors name here)!!!!" to "Kaylee, I'm not moving ok. I found my spot. get one of the minis to get it."
i’m not a runner... until i have a quick change. then i’m an olympic sprinter.
yup
exactly
Bahaha so true
Yea one time there was literally like 3 dances in between and like we had to to put our hair in a bun and change our eyeshadow color like...
@@crazykidstar6047 yes the hair changes are the worst. especially if you already have a bunch of hair spray and then your styling crunchy hair...
The announcer is so true “hiiiiGGGHHHHH gold”
EXACTLY. and like when the seniors were laying on stage our team would massage their heads bc we knew how hard they work. our team loves our seniors, and at our recitals we literally form a puddle of tears on the floor when the curtains close. i remember i couldn’t stop crying bc one of the seniors graduated. okay sorry for wasting ur time.
At one I went to it was "ULLLLLLLLLLTIMATE VICTORY!!!"
Yeah like why are they so exited about it haha
“p-p-platinum!”
ahh omg no when she was doing the awards she literally said all dances that i hav had ☠️
And they receive a…
ALUMINUM FOIIIIIIIIIIIIILLLLLLLLLLLLL
BAHAHAHA
Oml I’m a huge fan of u
Hi princess royal 😁
You should’ve done the one with all the props. One time at a comp a girl had so many props and ended up forgetting her dance within the first 15 seconds
:oo TYSM FOR THE LIKES
We had a dance that was 3 minutes long, like 7 girls, and 5 props
Megga oof
Or the girl who has 20000000 props for her petite solo that is 1:57 seconds long
The backstage crew at my regular comp is literally so nice
Yo memento Mori my dude
i always feel like im in the wrong place and they always look so mad and im scared their gonna yell at me
Nice pfp🖤
Same I go to LADM where do you go??
Most of us are friends-
Or we ARE friends in class🤣
What about the 18 group dances that do “love shack” or “to build a home”
or "hit the road jack"
Yes
Omg yes 😂🤣😂
I DID TO BUILD A HOME AND I HATED IT HELP
dhdhdhchcjcj my theatre brain just thought of bridges for to build a home (unless it is bridges of madison county)
the awards speaker one got me!! 😂I’m a competition dancer too and that’s literally them all weekend!!!
hhhiiiiiIIIIIGGGHHH GOOOLLLllllddd
Same I dance too
a PLaTiNuMmmmMmMMM
Hi SSISTER arE YoU rEAdy For AWarD
SaPppHIire
I always feel bad for the dads. They can't do anything to help their child when the kids in the dressing room. My dad always wanted to help me get ready but he was never allowed in so he just stood outside the door awkwardly and every time a mum came out he'd ask if I was ok by myself.
yeah, my dad always did my hair so we’d have to stand in the halls and do it or go to the bathroom if it was unisex
@@queenv22 aww, thats so precious
Yea i needed help vos my mom was gome and my dad was the onily perent there
he wasn't aloud in so i had to ask other moms for help with stuff
my dad was only the prop dad
my dad NEVER came to any of mine (sorry if this sounds like trauma dumping)
Sneaking behind the team that’s taking up the whole hallway is so relatable 😂
Lol true after you get hit in the face cause they are doing an
Team. Artwheel
Cartwheel
Alternative title for the first one- the one that takes their cat to a competition
as soon as you said “the backstage crew” all the great memories came flooding back😭
same I was a stagehand for 3 years and I remember all the dance comps I had worked so many memories
“going home with a PLATINUM” the accuracy i-
“Aluminum foil” wow that’s...
It’s the supreme award category
"The one that's injured" I felt that on a personal level since I mostly 99.99% all the time right before a competition I injury myself and my dance teachers are always just like really again.
to the people who bring the good snacks to all the comps have my heart
I was literally like waiting for the “injured”ones! 🤣
i’m a competition dancer too, i remember a few years ago i had a girl on my team who’s grandma was the ultimate queen. miss girl made sure she had your favorite gatorade, candy, chips, like she had everything it was iconic
If I was a dancer I know I would want to be the one passed out on the floor but would actually be the hella nervous one lol
I would hate those people practicing in the hallway like people need to get on stage
Agree. I hate those people too.
I agree they’ll eat running there dance in the middle of the hallway and a bunch of girls who had a quick change will run into them like can they move
ikr, especially when the teacher was out there nitpicking them too so it was even slower
I got kicked in the stomach once bc of a girl practacing on the hallway
Ikr they are so annoying, there was one studio that kept side eying us. We were dancing at a basketball court and there was some girl taking up the whole dressing room like the whole thing practicing her leg hold turns, layouts, tucks, all of that
the backstage crew is so accurate 😭😭 it’s always that outfit too!!!
As a comp crew member I feel called out in the most hilarious way 😂 that really is us the whole time lol
the musical theater productions take literally 10 minutes and the backstage people are always lit😂
shoutout to the people that chatted in the premiere :))
the way they say "plAtinUm" LMAO
the way out announcer says it is “ppppppppppppplatinum”🤣
ppplaaatinuuuummmmm!!
Related to the “no you go up” “I’m not going up” we all just passed out loll
the way THAT mom was dressed was so accurate omg😭💀
THE MOVING THE HAIR AS THE STUDIO OWNER WAS SO ACCURATE
Lol one time at a dance comp there was an announcer who would always say AH-MAH-ZING. honestly though I love MT
Title that needs to be heard “the loud mom going, “yesss get ittt, woooooo!” Every five seconds while her daughter is dancing” lol
(M not trying to brag I jus kinda feel proud of myself for once)
THIS WEEKEND MY TEAM ONE FIRST IN OUR DIVISION WITH ALL OUR ROUTINES AND 2nd OVERALL AND ITS OUR FIRST YEAR GOING TO COMPETITION🥺💜💜💜💜 also we got back around 3 am it felt so early lol
(I know this was 4 months ago, but) YOOO GOOD JOB! IM SO PROUD OF YOU FOR WINNING THATS SO BIG!!!
I KNOW THIS WAS 7 MONTHS AGO BUT AMAZING JOB! YOU SHOULD BE SO PROUD OF YOURSELF!!
I KNOW THIS WAS 10 MONTHS AGO BUT CONGRATS BOO!!!
I know this was 11 months ago but congratulations
I know this was a year ago but congrats 😌
THE BAND APP
WOAH. LIKE HOLY COW THIS IS MAGIC I SWEAR
the alumni crying while hugging a nine year old after her solo (lyrical or contemporary) and saying how proud they are and how much she’s grown
i have competition this weekend and i am so excited i haven’t competed in so long and last time i had like barely any dances and now i have like 8 dances so i am so excited and yea i love your videos
yay!! good luck!!
I had two comps this past month

The peppy awards announcer was SPOT ON
as a dancer who turned competitive after 9 years of training (so I was well a senior to the bunch of children when I started competitions) I can attest to being completely drained by the time awards come around, everything happens so late and lasts for ages 😭
If you make another one there should be “the one who keeps touching up their makeup”
Yes the award speaker!! Every time they say high gold just gets me - number 265 imagine revives a HiGh GoLd
The alumni...you didn’t have to call me out like that 😂😂
for the first dance, my studio requires us to be there at 6:30, literally an hour before doors open😳 most of the time i don’t even compete till 6:00 pm!
I am like a person who always is doing acro backstage lol

Coming from a dancer this is so flipping accurate 😂😂😂😂
I MISSED THESE SO MUCH😭😭😭
All of those are so accurate especially the announcer
The seniors at midnight killed meeeee😂😂😂😂
i feel so incredibly called out by the leotard, quick change, "good luck!" and "showed up 3 hours early" ones that i wouldn't be surprised if you were stalking me
My fav is the seniors at awards because it’s so accurate
It’s the having 5 solos for me!!!! 😂😂😂😂
Okay but the seniors at awards was so true, once I started learning Russian on Duolingo during awards because it was taking too long haha
My studio has a boy and he is literally the star of the recital and the competition dances 😢
OMG SAME AND THE BOY ISNT EVEN GOOD AND THEY GAVE HIM EXTRA POINTS AT AN AUDITION AND THEY GIVE HIM SPECIAL ATTENTION AND PUT ME IN ALL OF THE LOWER CLASSES WHEN I WORKED MY BOOTAY OFF FOR 8 YEARSS (and a lot of people left bc of it) TEEHEE ok yea i had a lot to say 😂😂
Yesturday was my first comp of the year, and I cried backstage from stress and anxiety for my solo.
I’m guessing you did awesome

omg yass i love this what about the sassy jazzer mini! lol
I’m in indoor Drumline on the visual ensemble (we dance), but I can relate to a lot of these for when we have competition days. 😅 lol
I'm literally all of these but they happen in a sequence
same
there is always SOMEONE that is injured at my studio 😭 and then we have to reblock the dances in like 1 week-
I'm the "internally freaking out but complimenting and comforting everyone else because I'm the 2nd oldest so I literally feel like their mother" (they only allow people to be in my comp tap group til end of 8th grade so rn I am 2nd oldest cause my friend is in eighth grade and I'm in 7th)
the awards announcer was SO ACCURATE
The one passed out on the dressing room floor was my whole team last year
Carissa randomly giving a awards speaker audition 😂
Watching this literally the night before my next competition, I better look out for these…
One time (I was four) I went into the wrong dressing room and my mom had to come get me (then I started crying cause I thought I was in trouble)😂. Fun times
The peppy announcer VERY accurate
Our studio is like super close with the Showbiz backstage crew, because our coach used to judge with them. So they’re literally so sweet to us haha
Showbiz crew is the sweetest!
Omg I had a time where I got off stage for ballet , and the second I got in the wings I was pulling my bun out putting it in a high pony and trying to change from pink tights to black tights while walking 😂😂
The dance mom is on point XD
When you said grand dazzling platinum award, it reminded me of the star dazzle award from highschool musical.
Don’t try to replicate the “OUTSTANDING DANCER” because you are already the outstanding dancer. (QUEEN) 💗
this took me back to my comp dancing days

I'm the nervous one and my friends and I are the ones who go crazy at the awards.
And the one who is doing homework
