Going It Alone: Building Confidence and Maturity in Your Dancer Apr 10, 2024

Show notes

There is so much to be gained for your child on a dance team, being a teammate, working together. It’s these lessons that help them prepare for life as an adult and prompt us to give up our weekends and all our money to competitive dance team life. But there is also something to be gained from our dancers learning to "go it alone" at conventions, master classes & intensives without their teams. Today on the podcast, we want to talk about building emotional maturity in our dancers and preparing them for their futures through solo dance experiences.
WHAT TO LISTEN FOR

Why attend dance conventions, masterclasses, or conventions without your team?
When is it best to not attend these extra dance experiences?
What extra dance events are there and what is best for my dancer?
When can we fit these into our existing dance teams schedules? (timing)
Personal stories of how going to dance classes has been for our children.
