Become A Better Dancer By Paying Attention To What Skills You Are Practicing: Hard or Soft | Ep 90
from More Than Dance · host Krissy Phillipino
This episode is about hard skills vs soft skills and how practicing both is the key to becoming a better dancer!Hard skills are the obvious ones:Choreography, turns, technique… they’re exact, measurable, you know when you hit them or you don’t.Soft skills are different and not as easy to point out; you feel them:body awareness, musicality, transitions, spatial awareness, confidence, focus, adaptability.And when you’re in class… you’re always practicing something.You might think you’re just running choreography, but you’re also practicing how you listen, how you move through space, how you recover, how you show up.There’s also different energies you can tap into depending on what you’re working on.Sometimes it’s more structured, locked in, get it right.Other times it’s open, experimental, letting yourself figure it out as you go.Soft skills are the ones that don’t always get called out… but they’re the reason someone can do the same choreography and it just hits different.This episode helps you see what’s actually happening when you practice beyond just getting the steps.Follow:Krissy: @krissyphillipinoKDFSTUDIO: @kdfstudio
