Summary: When we think our dancers are being lazy or don’t care, we tend to yell for full out and push for more energy because we assume the dancers aren’t giving us their full effort. But what actually is effort? How do you know what someone else’s 100% effort actually looks like?

If you have a topic you want to hear discussed on the show, please leave me a voice note at https://chelseapierotti.com/message!
