In Episode 169 of Making The Impact - A Dance Competition Podcast, we are joined by two IDA judges who also wear other hats in the dance world to chat about what goes on during a day of dance competition, from dance parent to dance studio owner to dance judge!

Topics Include:

Advice for dance parents approaching their first competition season
The ins and outs of the duties of a dance teacher or studio owner during the competition weekend
The process of preparing for a long event as a dance competition judge
