Grit & Grace Dance Life Podcast

Grit & Grace Dance Life

a podcast for teen and young adult dancers

This podcast is about empowering all aspects of your life to feel and dance at your best!

In the Grit and Grace: Dance Life Podcast, I show you how to navigate life as a dancer, from the studio to the stage and everything in between.

I deep dive into mindset, daily habits, performance, and all the behind the scenes you need to know. This is about discovering your ultimate confidence both in and outside of the dance world. Plus interviews with my students as well as legendary dancers and teachers to share candidly about their own life experience.
