Discover how to stop “winging it” and start building real, lasting success with strategy that aligns with your creative mind.

In this episode, Cara dives deep into what truly drives long-term growth — strategy. As creatives, it’s easy to lean into spontaneity and “go with the flow,” but real success in your studio, your teaching, and your artistry comes when you build intentional strategy that works with your creativity, not against it.

Cara shares the behind-the-scenes story of Total Technique Academy — a 12-week digital course that blends structured planning with creative flexibility. She unpacks why most people never finish digital courses, and how the Academy’s hybrid structure (digital modules + live community support) is changing the game for dance educators everywhere.

Cara talked about:

• Why creatives often struggle with structure and how to design a strategy for success that feels natural, not forced.
• The difference between learning from a “map” and being guided by a “GPS” and how that applies to your dance journey.
  The origin and evolution of Total Technique Academy and how it helps teachers see measurable results in their classrooms.
  How to use strategy to connect your creative goals with real outcomes through consistency, community, and accountability.
• The secrets behind creating a curriculum that fuels dancer progress, motivation, and confidence, one strategic step at a time.
• How strategy in teaching, not just inspiration, leads to dancer retention, studio growth, and empowered instruction.
