Trigger Warnings I spent my entire childhood in the 2000s as an elite competitive dancer in circuits winning Showstopper/ Nexstar Platinums. AMA about the costumes, the abuse, the routines, travel, and so on.
2002-2010. It was awful and the worst part of my childhood. Im not going to reveal too much personal info obviously. The studio luckily went under about 12 years ago so a lot of info about it is scrubbed from the internet but my name does come up in Showstopper archives. Anyway, I find it cathartic to talk about so let er rip! Also my health isn't too good rn so I might take me a minute to respond to all.
