Guests - Christina Belinksy and Sam Quinn

Hosted By - Courtney Ortiz and Lesley Mealor

In Episode 151 of Making The Impact - A Dance Competition Podcast, we bring you back to one of the hottest topics in the dance industry today - lyrical vs contemporary. IDA judges and dance educators Christina Belinksy and Sam Quinn weigh in on this discussion.

Topics Include:

•  The evolution of the styles and what that means for the competitive dance world 
•  The importance of music selection in choosing which style of dance to present
•  Why it can sometimes feel like today's young dancers don't think lyrical is "cool" - and why we do!
