Check out the June Q&A with Ranya at the Ginger City home studio!
Some highlights: 

  • Working with injuries, getting bodywork, and adapting your dance
  • Pelvic "tuck" - good idea or not?
  • What should you do if your duet partner (group member) forgets the choreo?
  • Covering for errors - cognitive perspective
  • Staying present with muscle control and movement choices onstage
