The Technician And The Creative

In this episode of "Power Dance Educator," host Paul Malek talks about the importance of honouring both the technician and the creative artist in dance education. He reminds us that dancers are not defined by those around them, and encourages us to cultivate a holistic approach to training that includes both technical precision and creative expression. By celebrating effort and process, and avoiding competition and comparison, we can help our students grow into well-rounded, confident, and compassionate dancers.
