This week, The Kevin Clifton Show has been taken over by Joanne Clifton and Tjaša Vulič of the She's Just A Dancer Podcast, who have taken the reins in order to talk about what makes dancers great! And who knows, since Kevin is away, maybe there'll be room for some gossip...

KEY TAKEAWAYS

• All the great performers have talent, but they also have an "X Factor" - something that makes them stand apart from others, and gives them the power to hold an audience rapt.
• The ways in which we appreciate art and performance all depend on the unique set of perceptions we bring to it. Some may find a form of entertainment spellbinding, while others may not. This is why judging performance competitively is so difficult.
• The most important way of standing out is identifying in yourself that unique gift or talent that makes you stand alone.
• Studying different areas of performance, and diversifying your skill-set is incredibly important, and has proved even more so during the pandemic. We need to be able to pivot as it allows us to follow many more opportunities.
