A dad’s perspective on raising a teen dancer — and figuring out how to support him in spaces where males are often the minority.

I'm recording this one from a parking lot across the street from where my son now works as a dance coach, which makes me a dad of a dance teacher!
When Atti stepped away from studio dance and landed at a tumbling and fitness gym, he worried his skills would slide and he'd be bored out of his mind. Instead, he found a boss who is a ray of sunshine in human form, a room full of loud little kids eager to learn from him, and some huge personal growth opportunities.
Tune in to hear why stepping outside your studio's four walls might be one of the best things you do for your dancer.

DOAD #45: The emotional bank account
At our new studio's kickoff meeting, one announcement made my wife and me snap our heads toward each other and gasp out loud. (If you've ever hunted for a missing sock at 6 a.m. before a competition, you'll understand why.)
I also share a concept I learned about years ago called the "emotional bank account," and how it can help you figure out how your own studio relationship is really going.
