Stacey Umeh is a world class Artistic Prep Specialist who lives in Perth, Australia and is originally from Canada. She is a world class choreographer, coach, and traveling clinician who specializes in teaching artistry to athletes from ALL OVER THE WORLD! This podcast was HUGELY enlightening for me. Although I took 10 years of classical dance training, I never really quite put the relevance and connection of dance to larger more athletic skills in gymnastics. If you are a coach of gymnastics I highly encourage you to listen to this thought provoking and amazingly energetic and talented woman. Highlights: We discuss the evolution of our sport and it's roots in dance. Stacey gives some great tips on techniques and how to reach our younger populations of gymnasts who may not be "sold" on classical ballet dance. It's never too late to start an artistry program, Stacey firmly believes that and taught me that even more so! I am sold, and you will be tooStacey Travels the world as a clinician and has several amazing programs she has developed including:The Creative Movement Group and Parallel Universe:Facebook: The Parallel Universehttps://paralleluniverse.com.au/Instagram: @staceyumehFacebook: Anastasia UmehEmail Stacey at: stacey@the-cmg.com A Podcast: http://pod.co/parallel-universe
