In Episode 205 of Making The Impact - A Dance Competition Podcast, we are diving into a highly requested topic - team building and team bonding. The most successful teams are the ones that work together seamlessly, and that starts with fostering a sense of community and shared commitment to a goal, whether that's to perfect your pirouettes or win first overall. 

Topics Include:

• How to avoid a culture of "mean girls" at the studio
• What to do when your team just isn't clicking
• Why working as a team in dance can help prepare dancers for collaboration in any setting
