What’s the end goal for parents who put their kids into competitive dance?

I know I’ll get a lot of funny comments here but I’m actually curious. I’m talking about young kids like 10yr olds and younger
People who push their young kids into athletics or theatre, music, they’re clearly thinking their kid is going to become some kind of pro or get a scholarship. What’s the goal of competitive dance? Can you do that professionally? In college? What’s the end goal here?

How can mom relive her younger life, before she had a husband and kids, if she can’t have her daughter in dance???

No doubt, but if you asked that mom, what would she say is the reason?

As for theatre, go watch the movie Gypsy & get back to me

Its healthy for kids to have extracurricular activities that involve physical activity; instead of playing video games.

Scholarships for dance, Jr. Miss, Miss Louisiana, Golden Girl, dance teacher with studio later in life, not pregnant at 16, no tats at 16, not a cum dumpster at 16, etc. It has its advantages.

Jesus guys I’m not arguing against extra curricular activities like sports or music I know the benefits are amazing for kids my kids play sports and take music lessons.
I’m asking specifically about people who put their young children into highly competitive dance competitions

I'll say this. Our experience has been that our kids have been around others with like-minded interests. They've picked up teamwork, responsibility, accountability, dedication, and understand what commitment means.
Could they have gotten this from a recreational dance team? Possibly, but generally speaking, the commitment isn't always the same.
It's very expensive, and as a father, it is my end goal that my girls never dance professionally.
Edited to add. I do believe that if you start your daughter(s) too early, it can potentially be a money ploy by the dance company. Yes, there is a chance they could develop better technique earlier, but unless you see a real commitment from your daughter(s), I'd be cautious about that. If you see her twirling around the house when no one is watching, her practicing by herself, etc., she may have a very strong interest in dancing, and you can proceed accordingly.

Putting kids in something competitive:
1 - gives them something to do
2 - gets them exercising
3 - allows them to socialize
4 - teaches them that in life there is winning and losing
It also helps them not end up as a loser, like you seem to be. The people usually complaining about kids being active and competitive are just jealous because they wish they could be, but suck.

It’s a similar concept. They engage in an activity they enjoy while learning life lessons related to hard work, learning and growing from failure, the value of success, working with people you both like and don’t like to accomplish a goal, the value of time management and sacrifice… I could go on and on
Of course there are also less desirable aspects just like with competitive youth sports

Can you do that professionally?
I told my 8 year old that once she gets her black belt in taekwondo (which will be in October), she can try out for the dance team because she asked me if she could. She may not make it.
It’s no different than the baseball team my nephew is on.

Strippers make good money.
Not every father is trying to keep his daughters off the pole.
Someone has to pay for their bologna in their old age.
