Episode 35: Cleaning Pieces--An Opportunity for Learning & Progress


Listen Later

In today's episode, Amanda dives into ways that she has found to love cleaning over the years, and that wasn't always the case. Cleaning a lot of the time was a daunting task and one that felt repetitive and lacking of passion. In order to flip that mentality, Amanda shares what has worked best for her over the years including tools and tips and a shifted outlook about what the cleaning process is.


The cleaning process is an opportunity for growth and progress. It is an opportunity to instill team work and to get everyone working on the same wave of energy before hitting the stage. It is the chance for a soloist to further explore and develop their artistry. It is such an important phase of the performance process!


From differences with cleaning minis versus seniors, to discussing the dynamics of cleaning a contemporary piece versus a jazz piece, to exercise suggestions of how to get your dancers understanding what each person brings to the table, this episode is jam-packed with tips!


We hope you enjoy and find it helpful as you work through the cleaning process with your pieces <3

Thank you for your support and listens! Amanda
