Welcome to a new 4 part series - Competition Countdown. As dance competition season ramps up into full swing in most parts of North America, this series provides useful and usable content to help dancers, teachers, and parents get the most out of competition season. 

In part 1, we cover preparing your body (and mind) for competition. I discuss tapering/de-loading in the lead up to competitions, the importance of a proper warm-up prior to taking the stage, and the benefits to using visualization/imagery as part of your competition preparation.

Don't forget to like, subscribe and add these episodes to your playlist for competition commutes so you don't miss an episode!
