Join Dr. James D Walters, Assistant Professor of Dance Danielle Lydia Sheather, and Shelly Isler Studio Owner, Instructor, Choreographer, and Director as we dive into opening a studio from the ground up. Being a "yes girl" and the many ways that our training prepares us - or does not - for the field. We discuss how a local dance studio developed a conditioning program, the evolution of training, and how we can encourage education at every level. Hear how Shelly stays inspired and motivates her students by discussing the ladder of training towards individualized end goals.
