Finding the perfect festival is all about the environment and the energy it brings.
You may have the best dancers in a room, but if the atmosphere does not bring out the best in you as a dancer or if the energy of the people around is not right, the experience won't be as great as it could have been.
In this episode, Grace and Bobbie talk about dance festivals and how the quality of dancing and the environment matters when connecting with people. From sharing their personal favorites to experiencing and making the most of festivals, there’s a lot to enjoy in this fun conversation.
