We have another summer exclusive bonus episode coming to you LIVE from Diva Dance Competition's 10 year anniversary Nationals in Cambridge, MD. Making the Impact hosted our 2nd LIVE audience event and it was a huge success! Courtney and Lesley are joined by IDA judges Julie Swartz, Christina Belinsky, Lauren Alto and Eddie Bennett to answer questions from dance parents, studio owners, and dancers! Topics included:

•  How decimal places really work in scoring
•  What inspires us as artists
•  What judges would really like to see on stage

Thank you to IDA Affiliated Competition Diva Dance Competition for hosting our live event at Nationals and for all of your support!
