In this episode, Cara breaks down why alignment over everything isn’t just a philosophy — it’s the fastest path to real technique growth. She challenges the belief that moving faster, adding more layers, or piling on props creates better dancers. Instead, Cara explains how prioritizing alignment, slowing down, and simplifying movement leads to stronger technique, safer training, and faster breakthroughs.

This episode dives deep into dance alignment, proper placement, pelvic alignment, intentional training, and injury-preventive dance technique, giving dance teachers and studio owners a clear framework for building dancers correctly from the inside out.

Cara talked about:

• Why “alignment over everything” must come before speed, tricks, or difficulty
• Why slowing down is a teaching superpower
• The hidden cost of pushing through misalignment
• Pelvic alignment as the foundation of all technique
• Cueing smarter, not louder
• Gripping vs. functional muscle engagement
• Using props strategically — not as crutches
• Why slow control exposes real technique
• The slow → strong → powerful training formula
• How teachers can maximize limited class time

This episode is a must-listen for dance teachers, studio owners, and serious dancers who want better results without burnout, injury, or wasted training time. If you’re ready to stop chasing speed and start building dancers who move with control, clarity, and confidence — this episode will change how you teach.
