No but I did a lot of those competitions when I was younger.  They were lots of fun and always inspired me to work hard in class

What is a "regular competition"?  Who participates, groups, solos, pas de deux, what forms of dance, etc. Where did you have to go to do this, and what were the other performances like?  What did you dance?  Many of us have never heard of this competition, and only know of things like the International Ballet Competitions, the Prix de Lausanne, and the Youth America Grand Prix.  How is this one different?  Can you just tell us more about it?

These competitions usually have tons of catagories, ballet tap jazz pointe lyrical open specialty acro musical theater...the list goes on.  Many people do choose to do classical choreography, and usually do very well, while others obviously have no ballet training and come from "competition schools".  They are fun to do because they give students invaluable performing experience, and you make new friends from all over the country.  They are usually held in lots of different locations, so most students can compete without traveling more than an hour or two from home.
