Embracing A Life of Dance

Growth Into Teaching

Bringing onboard finally, Willow Johnston, the person who was teaching me when I started dancing years ago! We talk about his journey from approaching fundraisers on the street to running Salsa group classes to hundreds and hundreds of people. And along the way give each other a little of therapy discussing our experiences as teachers.

Talking About Love and Dance

Join Deon and I for a new episode of Embracing A Life of Dance where we talk about growing up dancing on the streets with friends, to getting involved in the latin dance scene!  Deon has wealth of dancing experience under his belt and this episode I pick his brain on the beauty of Wedding Choreographies and how fulfilling teaching them can be!

2023 End Of Year Roundup

Join Karthik, Ihti, and Keerthana as we all bid goodbye to 2023, and Season 1 of Embracing A Life of Dance. It has been quite the journey this year and I wanted to take this chance to sit down with some of closest buddies as we talk all things festivals, travel, teaching, and taking videos of our journey. Season 1, or the last two years of this podcast have taught me a lot. I'm hoping to start the next year strong, bringing you new episodes, new locations for fun, as well as new guests. So as always, stay tuned and thank you so much for listening. 2024 is just onwards and upwards from here!

Lengthen Your Dancing Lifespan

Welcome back to another episode of Embracing A Life Of Dance. In this edition, I had the pleasure of chatting with Josh, an experienced physiotherapist, about something we all love – salsa and bachata dancing. We took an honest approach to discuss how these dances impact our bodies and the practical steps we can take to ensure we dance for years to come. If you're into dancing as much as we are, or you're just curious on how to minimize the damage we sustain over our career, tune in to hear our strategies and tips.

Building a Lifelong Connection to Dance

Join us this week as we deep dive into Amara's childhood traumas and horrific experiences... Just kidding! Amara has spent the better part of her life living and breathing dance, whether that was Ballet, Musical Theatre, or more recently, Salsa, and with it comes a wealth of knowledge and discipline. In this episode we explore how her time has shaped her dancing, and her unique values when it comes to training and teaching.
