Mini Dancers Who Peak Too Early
Guests - Kate Biernat and Krysten Danielle
Hosted By - Courtney Ortiz and Lesley Mealor
In Episode 176 of Making The Impact - A Dance Competition Podcast, we focus on the tiniest dancers who defy all expectations, only to burn out at a young age. IDA judge Kate Biernat and dance educator Krysten Danielle give their unique perspectives and advice for the youngest of dancers.
Topics Include:
* Typical weekly schedule for high-achieving minis
* What happens when minis have to dance with an older age group due to their abilities
* How to avoid the burnout that comes with over-training at a young age
