Part 1- This is a topic that has had a lot of comments and conversations to me about. Etiquette at competitions, recitals, or any event is lacking. You may not be familiar with these things and so you do not know what to do, that is why this podcast is so important. It comes down to respect. My monthly expert Melanie and I cover so many areas. This is a two-parter. Next week we will talk about etiquette for dancers, studio owners, and competition owners with 3 other guests. Yes, we are bi-weekly but these two episodes will come out one week after the other.
