Politics & Money behind high-end competitive ballroom dancing
You would agree, that Professional Competitive Ballroom Dancing is indeed spectacular. Yet, most of us – dancers, understand that with great accomplishments, come great sacrifices. Besides the “rivers” of sweat, blood and tears, there also are H-U-G-E Time and Financial commitments involved in achieving the ultimate Competitive Dance Sport Goal – to become The Champion.
On the surface, it all seems pretty straight forward, right? You train hard, take coaching, compete as much as you can and you will get the results you want!
