#55: How to Understand Your Child’s Dance Critiques (Even When They Sound Like Another Language) Part 1: Posture, Placement, Presence

Season 1 Episode 55

Have you ever listened to your child’s dance critiques and thought, “What does that even mean?” You’re not alone. In this episode, we're diving into some of the most common phrases judges and teachers say when referring to posture, placement, and performance presence—and translating them into real-world terms that parents and dancers can actually understand.

From "stand tall" to "stretch through the fingertips," I’ll walk you through what these comments really mean, what your dancer might be missing, and how you can help them improve at home. This is the ultimate cheat sheet for any parent who wants to support their dancer’s growth with confidence.
