Inspired by the recent UDA Nationals, on this week's podcast episode I revisit the age old question of whether dance is art or whether it is sport. You'll learn a bit about the world of university dance teams (full disclosure, I am by no means an expert when it comes to Dance Team dance) and why I think embracing dance as sport, at least in this case, is positive for the dance world. I also discuss ways we can provide better support for dancers who have goals and aspirations of dance team style dance.
