Episode 99: Helping Dancers Advocate for Themselves in the Studio
A question I often get from dance parents is 'how can I help my dancer advocate for themselves in the studio?'. Although I love the care and intention behind this question, I actually think we're approaching the whole situation wrong.
In this podcast episode, I discuss why I think that's the case and how we can flip our thinking to actually better support our dancers. In a culture where dancers are already vulnerable to power dynamics, asking them to advocate for themselves is just one more example of putting the burden on the person with the least amount of control over the situation.
