Choreographer Stacey Umeh interview

Nick Ruddock interviewed one of the best choreographers in the world.

I learned a lot about how she teaches confidence and performance.

Stacey, who sometimes can be found at home in Perth, travels non-stop working with coaches, teams and gymnasts around the world. She’s now built a home studio for consulting online. You can see it in a new Dance & Artistic Preparation online 30 minute session streamed on Facebook.

She choreographed 2010 World Floor Champ Lauren Mitchell’s routine. She’s currently working with Australian qualified Olympian Georgia Godwin.

In recent years she’s worked with the Chinese National Team, as well.

That podcast is free:
