I feel like this is going to be a popular one! I talk with my good friend Stephanie Rutherford about Contemporary for the competitive stage!! She is simply amazing at what she does! Choreography for the competitive stage, workshops, industry shows, and her own company, RME. We chat about what contemporary is for the competitive stage, costuming, intention, body awareness and connection, wight transfer, her modern influences and favourites, and so so much more!! Plug in, get grounded, and let's all breathe this one in.... Enjoy!!!

On this episode of the Dance Comp Chat, I talk with my good friend Lisa Naves-Abonyi about what I call the "engine" of a dance competition... the teachers and choreographers! Because without these amazing people, we wouldn't have a dance competition at all!!! Responsibilities, behind the scenes tasks, before and during the competition, outside choreographers and much much more! So as always, sit back plug in and enjoy!!!!

With the 9th edition of the Dance Comp Chat, I sit down and talk costuming with the amazing head designer and founder of Flash Design Company and the House of Sass & Magic, Miss Stacey Gonder! Now, for us teachers and choreographers, this can be a scary, if not intimidating part of our job! But with the knowledge, wisdom, and experience of a person like Stacey, she makes it an easy task from design to the stage! So sit back with your fabric swatches and enjoy!!!
