In this episode of Making the Impact, Courtney and Lesley chat with Erika Hebron and Mary Roberts about the benefits of technique in all styles of dance. This episode covers:

• Ideas for keeping technique classes fresh and engaging
• How a strong technical foundation can prevent injury as well as help a dancer bounce back from injury
• Tips for how to work on your technique on your own, outside of class

 

Resources mentioned in this episode include:

• “Jazz Dance: A History of the Roots and Branches” by Lindsay Guarino and Wendy Oliver
• “Conditioning For Dancers” by Tom Welsh

 

The blog that inspired this episode was released back in February 2018, and is called “Why Technique Will Never Go Out of Style”. Check it out!
