4 Things Most Dancers Miss Before Nationals — That Can Make or Break Their Performance

In this episode, we're discussing the 4 most overlooked mistakes dancers make in the final weeks before a major comp — and how small tweaks to your routine can create huge results on stage.

Whether you’re aiming for your first recall or chasing the podium, these are the shifts that separate the dancers who just show up from the ones who show up ready.

What we cover:
 ✅ Why “turning it on” only works if you’ve trained at 100%
 ✅ The first impression mistake most dancers don’t realize they’re making
 ✅ How to get comfortable dancing in your full Nationals gear before the big day
✅ Why your training plan should pivot to recovery in the final stretch
✅ The one mindset phrase to repeat every day before you step in the studio

This episode is packed with tactical advice you can apply right away to feel more confident, focused, and prepared heading into your biggest comp of the year.
