Guests - Debbi Sampson and Tommy Scrivens 

Hosted By - Courtney Ortiz and Lesley Mealor

In Episode 140 of Making The Impact - A Dance Competition Podcast, we are tackling the topic of appropriateness of choreography, from the subtle nuances we wish we would see to the outrageous things we do see on stage sometimes. Joining us for this discussion are IDA judges and dance educators Debbi Sampson and Tommy Scrivens.

Topics Include:

•  How inappropriate themes, music, and costumes all come into play when assessing inappropriate choreography
•  What we as judges can and cannot do when it comes to docking points or disqualifying a routine due to inappropriate choreography
•  Ways to allow dancers to grow and mature as artists without subjecting them to overtly inappropriate movement
