What does it look like to have a healthy and thriving team? Throughout the month of November, we are excited to bring you a mini-series focused on developing and cultivating a Positive Team Culture! The context of this series is dance team culture, but the content will be applicable to all teams and relationships.
I am so excited and honored to be joined by my former dance team director, Betsy Heathcock, for part three of this series! Betsy and I talk about topics such as intentionally developing a positive team culture, the power of empathy, and what it looks like to continue learning and growing as a leader.
Betsy has been actively involved in Dance Education since 1978. During her career she taught dance and directed at three premier high schools. She was the choreographer for the Tournament of Roses “Music for All Honor Dance Team”, Dance Team Directors of America’s “All Star Dance Team” and was the United State Olympic Festival Assistant Dance Director/Choreographer in 1986.
Betsy has served on the Texas Dance Educators’ Association Executive board in six different board positions. She oversaw the inception of the Texas State Dance Assessment, D.E.A.L -“Dance Educators’ Assessment of Learning” and continues to Coordinate and adjudicate for this Assessment. Betsy has earned numerous accolades including being named to the Texas Dance Educators’ “Hall of Fame” in 2005, “Lifetime Achievement Award” in 2000 and “Dance Team Director of the Year” in 1995.
Betsy was a Clinic Director for MA Dance Officer Camp and continues to be a Camp Director at MA Dance line camps and an adjudicator for MA Dance as well as with several companies throughout the country. She continues to mentor and provide guidance to Dance educators throughout the state. Betsy has been one of the most impactful mentors in my life, and I have watched her live out the wisdom she shares in this episode.
