3 Great Benefits of Competing

One of the best tools at your disposal as a developing artist-athlete is competing (and performing in general). Even if competing isn’t your jam, these three things still apply if you are just interested in performing in shows or one day professionally. 

Going through the process of developing, fine tuning and debuting a stage performance can do wonders for growth! Here are 3 things I love about the benefits of competing: 

1. Exponential growth through regular practice and hopefully movement mastery 

2. Planting your own performance seed and watching it grow 

3. Connecting the dots between what you’ve been learning in classes and/or working on your own. This happens through connect tricks and flow, working through transitions and adding character and style. 

Bonus: wearing cute outfits and shoes!! 

There’s definitely MORE but these are the three that as a coach and judge, I absolutely LOVE seeing happen for performers.
