If your studio goes to Nationals each year, then you know that this experience can be one of the BEST for you and your dancer but also quite different from the regionals dance competitions you may have grown used to.

So in the spirit of all things mothers this May we wanted to bring on Dream Duffel's own Elyssa Danahy to chat about...
We have had lots of requests from you listeners over the past 3 seasons, requesting we talk about boy dancers and asking questions relating to your sons, grandsons and nephews. We just never felt qualified to discuss since we both only have daughters in competitive dance. But this year, we were blessed to have a super knowledgeable, former dancer, choreographer AND studio director who is also the mom to 3 amazing male dancers, Crystal Zibalese, join our team. And we've broug...
Earlier in the season, we discussed how important mindset is for an athlete’s performance, success and their overall well being in their sport.

We received an email from a listener that we felt covered such a great topic that we wanted to devote an entire episode to discussing it. In this episode we discuss “convention kids” & “comp kids” and why some kids seem to excel in one more than the other. Does your dancer struggle to thrive in the convention space but loves their competition dances? How can we as parents help them navigate these two separate spaces? In this episode we discuss these topics and more. Thank you listener for...
Competitive dance is unique in that there are times when our dancers and their teammates are competing solos in the same division. There are also times where they are auditioning against one another for special parts in group dances, and group dances, duos and trios within and division or category from the same team competing against one another. This unique situation in competitive dance can also create some rivalry amongst teammates. Here to help us talk through resisting rivalr...

Recently, there seems to be a lot of discussion about Acro’s place in dance. We've heard it debated all over -whether acro tricks should be included in dance numbers and it’s validity in dance comps as a category. No matter which side of the discussion you land, as a dance parent you have likely come across acro or tumbling at some point. Today we want to discuss our personal experiences and growing understanding of Acro as our dancers age and in their various stages of dance. Wel...
