Studio Culture Part 1: Red Flags, Mean Girls & Misaligned Values

Hosted by: Dr. Tara Christensen PT, MS, DPT Guests: Angel Miller Ever find yourself questioning if your child’s dance studio is safe? If the environment is chipping away their love for dance? I am joined in this episode by my friend; former competitive dancer, current competitive dance mom and fitness instructor Angel Miller. We discuss what a negative studio culture looks like and the long term effects it can have on your dancer. We have a very honest discussion about some of the experiences dancers and parents have that leave them wondering if they are in the right place, and signs that it may be time to move on. We feel that having this conversation in an open forum is important to validate the experiences of many dancers and parents and to inspire others to advocate for their dancers.
