About this listen

Is your dancer's technique built to last or to fall apart? In this debut episode, Cara Dixon uncovers the powerful truth behind "The Foundation Formula" — a strategic approach to building technical excellence in dancers that’s built to endure. Whether you’re a dance educator, studio owner, or busy parent juggling life and business, this episode gives you more than just steps and stretches. It equips you with mindset shifts, proven analogies, and actionable movement strategies to develop dancers who don’t just perform well, but thrive long-term.

Cara talked about:

  • The importance of building a dancer’s technique on a solid foundation
  • The “sand vs. rock” analogy and how it applies to sustainable dance training
  • Why some dancers struggle with transitions, not just poses
  • The long-term impact of the right technique tools and strategy
  • How teaching patterns can reflect life patterns
  • Reverse engineering personal and studio goals to align with long-term success
  • Encouraging dancers not just for stage performance, but for the life stage
  • Creating a nurturing yet effective training plan that avoids extreme methods
