Cara Dixon takes you into the heart of one of the most overlooked challenges in dance training: how dance corrections are received, processed, and repeated. This isn’t just about saying it louder or more often. It’s about transforming how corrections are communicated and understood so that dancers not only hear them, but truly integrate them into their movement. If you've ever felt stuck in a loop of repeating cues without lasting change, this episode offers real, applicable insight to finally move forward.

Cara talked about:

• What the correction cycle is and why it stalls dancer progress
• How unclear cueing like “point your toes” and “knees over toes” leads to alignment issues
• Why dancers may not respond to dance corrections (and how to fix it)
• The three mental filters dancers use when receiving a dance correction: the mom voice, the “it’s them” mindset, and the “I already fixed it” belief
• How to break the cycle with visual feedback and measurable technique training
• Why dance correction language should shift with the dancer’s age and level
• Strategies for creative cueing that resonate with young dancers
• How to assess what dance corrections stick versus which ones don’t
• The power of using analogies, visual tools, and consistency to transform technique
• How transforming the correction cycle leads to better dance training results, stronger muscle memory, and long-term dancer success
