Guests - Ruby Castro and Randi Strong

Hosted By - Courtney Ortiz and Lesley Mealor

In Episode 83 of Making The Impact - A Dance Competition Podcast, we explore the world of Latin ballroom dance and how the style is making its way into the competitive dance scene. We are joined by Ruby Castro, current competitive dancer and Blackpool Dance Festival silver medalist, and Randi Strong, professional dancer and ballroom faculty member at Revel Dance Convention.

Topics Include:

• The differences between Latin and Standard Ballroom styles, and how they are taught in the convention setting
• The pros and cons of learning ballroom styles early in life or later
• How studios can begin to incorporate ballroom into their training
