  • Competition Star to Studio Manager: With Becky Daniels
    May 13 2026

    In this episode, I sit down with the incredible Becky to talk about her inspiring journey from dance competition star to studio manager.

    Becky shares how she competed at championship level, developing the dedication, discipline, and performance mindset needed to succeed in the competitive dance world. After her success in competitions, she chose to expand her training by retraining in ballet, jazz, and contemporary, refining her versatility and deepening her knowledge as a dancer.

    We explore how those experiences shaped her transition into the management side of a dance school, where she now brings both her performance background and technical training into leading, organising, and supporting the next generation of dancers.

    From the pressures of competing at an elite level to the challenges and rewards of studio management, Becky offers an honest insight into what it takes to evolve within the dance industry. This episode is packed with inspiration for dancers, teachers, and anyone interested in the journey from being on the competition floor to helping a studio thrive behind the scenes.
