FREE SESSION – What is a Personal Practice Plan?

A practice plan is a way to track your practice so you can measure your improvement over time.

ARTIST NOTES – Why choose ARTIST NOTES?

Notes are a normal part of the development of any artist, but they should be given based on an artist's individual journey and stated goals.

• Every dancer is an artist.
• Every Artist has a voice that they are discovering.
• Every Artist deserves to be encouraged and guided on that journey of discovery.
• Tap dance has always been supportive of individual voices, so why not give notes based on the individual?
• Professionals don't get judged, the get notes, and they get better.

Artist Notes combines the best of video adjudication with personal input from you. Andrew uses a framework of skillsets* to give notes on technique and skills improvement and customizes his notes based on what your personal goals were for a particular video.
