Hosted By - Courtney Ortiz and Lesley Mealor

In Episode 156 of Making The Impact - A Dance Competition Podcast, we are joined by two fantastic dance educators and veteran competition judges, Jody Reynard and Andrea Tracy, to share our thoughts on what makes up a winning routine at competition!

Topics Include:

•  Why choreography plays so heavily into the scoring of a routine - and why we can't always tell you about it
•  Do tricks really matter to judges when considering which routine to score higher?
•  Ideas for studio owners and teachers to consider when creating routines for competition
