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???

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.

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.

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.

Attempts to really piss Dad off with the 1500.00 +/ mo. bills this time of year between competition fees, hotel rooms, tuition and other associated expenses.

Pissing away a ton of money
Pissing off relatives to come see the idiot dance
And the kid will be bald when she is 25 from the stupid hair styles

My niece did it her whole life. Basically it was just the girls that didn’t play sports. Gave them something to compete for and an activity to do after school. You are over thinking this.

I know a family that pulled their kid out of school and started homeschooling them for dance.
I asked the dad, a friend, the same question. He said “I don’t know”
