I'm thinking about joining a professional teens Tap Team. What is dancing with a Tap Team like?

Hi. I've been tap dancing for 6+ years, and I've had barely any experience in any other dance. I've watched many professional dancers before and I can pretty much decode what they are doing in my head much like when you learn a language, you can't understand what they're fully saying at first, but you get what their message is.
Thing is, I'm confident about learning the steps, but I'm not so sure about my grace, flow, kicking, or spinning. I'm a little stiff, and I can't do a pirouette without hurting myself. I can do one spin fine, but not three with one lunge, or that spin where you stick out your leg for thrust... I can't remember what they're called at the moment, sadly.
The group is the Bruce Lea Dance Factory Tap Team. Does anybody know what dancing on a Tap team is like?? Will not being able to do three spins or do a perfect splits hinder my chances of being a good team member?
Yes, i will take Ballet too for the experience, but I can't right now. I'm 15 years old.

If you are confident about your dancing- you know all the basics and you know that you have really clear sounds and are a fast learner, you should join. you should go watch one of their routines or their classes and see if they put a lot of emphasis on turns and pirouettes. i dont think having the splits will help all that much with this group. but being on a competition tap team requires a lot of work. you just have to make sure you're dedicating and willing to learn. sometimes it can be EXTREMELY challenging. like i've been dancing for 10 years now and i still have trouble with stuff at first. oh and the turn is called a fouette. if they do put a lot of emphasis on turning or at least some take some beg. jazz classes or ballet. they will really work wonders.

How to Make Chinese Factory Visits More Successful - Part Five - Multiple Factory Visits Save Money

For economic reasons and to collect more information it is advisable to visit several factories in the same area during you trip.

Gaining Competitive Knowledge

Factories keep track of details about their competitors due to the frequent change of engineers and managers. They usually stay in contact with previous colleagues and know exactly what is going on in their old factory long after they have left.

Over the years, you will receive frequent invitations from factory managers that have moved to new factories and want to regain you as a customer. It is often a good chance to obtain better prices as an incentive to buy from them.

You can only determine a factory's quality and capacity by visiting the new factory and properly evaluating it. Keep in mind, a new factory manager can turn an inferior factory around, but you are better off waiting until that has happened before placing your purchase orders.

Start Planning You Travel Time in China

It can be tempting to invite managers from several factories to meet with you in the comfort of your hotel. However, it makes much more sense to visit your suppliers at their factory. You need to meet the full factory team and survey the operations.

China is a vast country. You will want to visit several factories in the region you are visiting. It is common for people to underestimate the travel time between their hotel and the factories as well as from one factory to another. Here are some general travel times for you to use as you begin planning a trip:

Greater Ningbo Area

After arriving at the Ningbo International Airport you can expect at least another 1 hour by car to reach your first factory. Take this in to consideration so that you do not waste precious time in a car. Further on, I will give you some tips to maximize the use of your travel time. Car travel is generally the only way you can reach factories in this area.

Foshan/Shunde Area

This is another industrial area, which is located in the Southern China Guangdong province. You can reach it conveniently by ferry from Hong Kong. Upon arrival, you still need to ride 30-45 minutes by car to reach your first factory. Knowing that the ferry takes 2 1/4 hours lets you easily calculate that it is impossible to visit more than 2 factories per day if you want to evaluate them thoroughly.

Since travel occupies a lot of your time, it is advisable that you make enquiries with each factory ahead of time. Learn their exact locations and ask for scheduling suggestions. Following their suggestions will save substantial travel time that is better spent in meetings and evaluating the factories. Another tip is for you to ask the factory to arrange for your ground travel including onward travel to the next factory. They are usually happy to accommodate you.
