In Episode 82 of Making The Impact - A Dance Competition Podcast, we are exploring the differences and similarities between recreational and competitive dance with two fantastic guests, IDA judge Katie Kruse and dance educator Julie Kay Stallcup.


Topics Include:

  • Definitions of recreational dance and competitive dance (and how those definitions can change depending on venue)
