In our development as dancers, we need to take the time to evaluate our dedication to consistent, intentional work to improve. These factors can contribute to your success and joy as a competitor/performer just as much, if not more than your talent.

I came across a Development Dedication Questionnaire and adapted it to dance to assist in giving an honest assessment into how dedicated you are to your development. This is a great questionnaire to better understand your level of dedication and highlight any areas that could be improved.
