Episode notes
Ever found yourself stuffing dinner into a lunchbox because there's no time to sit down as a family? Yep, us too. In this week's episode, Amanda and Bec get real about how becoming dance mums changed everything: from the way they teach to the way they run their studios. Turns out, juggling comp hair and homework gives you a whole new level of empathy. They share behind-the-scenes stories from their own lives, like Amanda's daughter Zali dancing five nights a week (goodbye family dinners), Rebecca softening her stance on comp makeup for under-6s, and the reality of being seen as "just a dance mum" by new parents. If you've ever taught your own child, questioned your studio policies after becoming a parent, or felt the tug-of-war between home and studio life, this one's for you.
