There are two varying sides to the question of how many solos is right for your dancer. In part 1 of this 2 part discussion, we covered the reasons why one solo may be a better option for your dancer. In today's episode, part 2, we want to cover the benefits associated with allowing a dancer to have more than 1 solo. And to help us do this, we've brought in an expert, no stranger to debating all things concerning dance, Owner and executive director of Platinum Dance Competitions and fellow podcaster, Mr Chris Suchan. Welcome you all to Two Dance Moms Podcast!

Ways to achieve the benefits of a second solo when you can't afford oneTips for dancers who are ready to choose a second soloIs a second solo still "Worth it" if they are both choreographed by the same person?

The question of how many solos is right for your dancer is one that has two very clear sides and opinions. Some argue the more the better, others insist it's best for dancers to focus on one solo. In this first part of a 2 part discussion about how many solos, we want to cover why less solos may be more. And To help tackle the topic, we brought in our buddy and an expert in all things dance-please welcome former dance director, choreographer, professional dancer and dance mom AND the owner of Apolla Performance Socks, Bri Zborowski!

Whether you run your child's account or have a teen who manages their own, the risks of putting your dancers life, photos and identity are something that should be considered when using social media. How can we protect our dancers and their image? What safe practices can we use as parents? We hope to tackle these questions with help from an expert and former guest of Two dance moms, Retired Police Officer Joe Marks. Welcome Joe and Welcome you all to Two Dance Moms podcast!
