Is Dancesport in decline?

[QPO]

well as you know I organise comps and we are having one in a few weeks. everyone enters at the last moment so that is a worry, when I ask abut entries to ours the other day the person collecting them had only received 1. which I believe was mine

That's odd.  You do non-profit, relatively low-cost, comps, right?  For some reason, I assumed that those would not have been hit as hard as more expensive comps.  Hmm.

I think one factor is the decline of the big TV shows DWTS etc.

Yes.  The novelty of those shows is wearing off.  So, presumably, there are fewer new bodies coming through the door.  Apparently, the DWTS producers are thinking of revamping the show to appeal to a younger audience.  Maybe that will help.
