I discuss a bunch of topics regarding what to do if you find yourself in a negative studio environment.  Some of the points I touch on include: 

  • Finding or building safer spaces.  
  • Modeling different leadership, inclusivity and a community that celebrates all dancers regardless of where they are in their dance journey.
  • When to consider moving studios.
    •  Looking into a studio that focuses solely on community performances. 
    • Taking online classes.  
    • Hybrid model.  
  • Things to look for when seeking out  potential new programs to try. 
  • Studio green flags
  • Studio professionalism
  • How parents can help create and protect a positive culture
