DanceMom.com Reader Survey of Competitions
In the Fall of 2006, DanceMom.com readers were asked to
rate competitions that they had attended during the
previous dance year. Readers scored the
competition on a scale of 1 (poor) to 5 (excellent)
in each of the categories shown below. In each
category, the five highest scoring competitions are
indicated in bold type. There was an overall
tie for fifth place, so the six highest scoring competitions overall are
indicated with a medal and
are designated as 'DanceMom.com Reader Recommended.' |
