Ballet competitions are more common than ever—but do dancers really need them? In our latest episode of #NoThirds, Fran weighs in on the role competitions play in today’s training landscape.

He tackles key questions from parents and dancers alike:

  • Are comps essential for landing trainee or second company spots?
  • Do they actually help with long-term career goals?
  • Why are so many schools and companies participating now?
  • What’s the real value compared to strong training and company performances?

Fran brings his signature clarity and candor to a topic that’s often confusing and feels high-stakes. This conversation is packed with insight regardless of whether you’re all-in on the comp circuit or don’t compete at all.
