| WINNING! The Competition Handbook for Teachers, Students,
Parents, and Judges was written over a ten year period of time and it is
based on the real life experiences of Liz Gallego and her competition teams.

Liz Gallego School of Dance earned over 150 high point awards and placed in
the top awards at fourteen consecutive national finals.
"We became a powerful competition machine, but we did it at a great sacrifice. We lost our inner value of the experience of dance. It doesn't have to be that way. It is possible to dance with your heart, to compete, and to win." Liz Gallego |
