The technical title of Mychelle Crown's Competition Coaching Series is: “Competitions Are BS But Really Good Training”. Because it's true, art is subjective and competitions can be BS - but they are really good training! Multi-multi-award-winning dancer Mychelle will not choreograph for you or encourage you to change your style to suit the judges. Instead she will work with you on goal setting, competition structure and expectations, and technical skills so you can use the competition training process to become the best dancer you can be! Contact Mychelle Crown to set up your in-person or online coaching session.
If competition is not for you, we can use the process to build skills from the ground up, musicality to technique to costume. Contact Mychelle to create a plan that will help guide you toward your performance goals!
"Mychelle's competition training series is so effective!!! She really covers all the bases from tip to toe - from music to costuming to scoring sheets and everything else. I also really appreciate the practical exercises like practicing our dances with distractions to test your focus & ability to think on our feet. There is so much information in the series that even on the 2nd go through of the series I still picked up a lot of new information. And I’m proud to say the course gives results! I got 3rd place in a major competition after never even making finals for years!" - Christina
