Welcome back to B.A. Showoff, the mother-daughter podcast where we dive deep into all things dance team! In this episode, we’re talking about the key players who help take a team from good to great—coaches, choreographers, and consultants. We start by breaking down the vital role of a coach—how they set the culture, push the team, and create a foundation for success. Then, we highlight the importance of bringing in strong choreographers who not only create stunning routines but also challenge dancers to grow in their skills and artistry. We share our experiences working with some of the best in the industry, including Ricky Ubeda, Sammy McFadden, Ricky Ruiz, Nathan Cherry, and Andrew Mulet, and how their unique styles and expertise have shaped unforgettable routines. But it doesn’t stop at choreography! To truly level up, it’s crucial to bring in outside consultants who provide fresh eyes, precision cleaning, and that final polish before hitting the floor. We discuss the game-changing impact of working with Dani Solano, Melissa McGhee, and Terri Rowe, and how their insights have helped refine performances to make them truly competition-ready. Tune in as we share behind-the-scenes stories, tips for teams looking to maximize their potential, and why building the right support system around your team is the key to success. Whether you’re a dancer, coach, or dance parent, this episode is packed with valuable takeaways to help elevate your team’s performance!
