If you own or teach at a studio that's not on our site yet, you can add it for free. Takes about 2 minutes. We want every studio to be findable. localdancestudio.com/submit #DanceStudio #DanceDad #FindAStudio

What's one thing you wish someone had told you before your kid started dance? I'll go first: you will own more bobby pins than you ever thought possible. #DanceDad #DanceMom #Ballet

A comic about being a dance parent. The first panel is the father carrying lots of bags and tired and the wife blowing a whistle like they are training. The second she says "Okay, now drop the bags! What's our Tim Horton's order?". Third panel the father is panicing "oh no, oh no, oh no" and the wife says "Come on! Dance comps start in 3 weeks!!!"

It's almost dance season again! Any other dance parents around?

I am not much help when it comes to hair and makeup but I try to make up for it with bing a pack horse and food deliverer.

Tip: ask a studio how they handle kids who are having a rough day. The answer will tell you a lot about whether it's the right environment for your family. #DanceStudio #DanceDad #Ballet

Recital season is coming. How many costumes are you managing this year? Last year we had 4 and I still found sequins in the car in October. #DanceMom #DanceDad #DanceLife

Don't skip the trial class. Every good studio offers one. Watch how the teacher talks to the youngest kids. That tells you everything about the culture. #DanceStudio #DanceClass #DanceDad

Tip for studio shopping: ask about recital costs upfront. Some studios charge $50 for costumes. Others charge $300+. No shame in asking before you sign up. #DanceStudio #DanceDad #Ballet

Just a suggestion to dance competitions. I’m a dumb dance dad and I need help!!!! #dancedad #girldad #dadlife #dancecompetition #dancelife

Had to waste Earth’s precious resources to create, sorry, but It’s Toona Laloonaphish. I gave her a note to keep her mouth closed while she danced and she said “thank you“, at Notes, as a good performer should, but ultimately she did not take or remember the note…

I have spent much of the afternoon with my daughter watching the UDA, basically the Super Bowl for college dance teams. #DanceDad

Up at 5:30 to get my daughter to her dance competition - watched her NAIL her tap solo - now off the Barnes & Noble for a couple hours of writing before the awards ceremony.

The hostage crisis of another competitive dance convention weekend is almost over. #dancedad

So proud of this girl! We had a 6 hour drive from Columbus to Chicago for her to perform and she gave it her all! Couldn’t ask for anything more! #IrishDance #DanceDad #GirlDad

Two years ago, I would have been eagerly planning my weekend around the Ohio State and Michigan game. Now, my Thanksgivings are forever altered, and I find myself constantly on the road during The Game, thanks to Irish Dance and Oireachtas. Thank God for my iPad and YouTube TV. #DanceDad #GoBucks

My kiddos in modern dance class tonight….never get the together in shots. #dance #dancedad
