In this episode, Cara introduces the transformative concept of the vertical learning ladder — a framework that helps teachers, dancers, and studio owners shift from comfortable, parallel learning to elevated, intentional vertical learning. Instead of repeating the same level of knowledge year after year, the vertical learning ladder unlocks growth, mastery, and deeper understanding in technique, strategy, and teaching.Cara breaks down the four knowledge blocks, explains why parallel learning leads to plateaus, and reveals how the vertical learning ladder dramatically accelerates progress for both dancers and educators. This conversation is filled with practical insight, strategic clarity, and aha-moments to help you uplevel your work in the studio and beyond.Cara talked about:What the vertical learning ladder actually isThe four blocks of knowledgeParallel learning vs. vertical learning for dance teachersWhy dancers also need the vertical learning ladderHow Relative Motion structures true vertical trainingThe “I didn’t even know I didn’t know it” breakthrough zoneWhy outside perspective accelerates vertical learningHow coaching, community, and mentorship keep you in levels 3 and 4How Total Technique Academy is built on the vertical learning ladderEncouragement to step into your next level—Connect with us! 🎧 Relative Motion: https://www.instagram.com/relativemotiondance/Youtube Relative Motion: https://www.youtube.com/@relative_motion
