Show notes

This episode explores movement through “movements”. We know that dance lessons are life lessons, but now we get to look at how an artistic partnership can mirror a romantic partnership and how dance can be a physical practice of empathy. Join Jermaine, Spenser on this BIG bite in Capital D Dance… and beyond.

27. Re-Doing Daily Jul 01, 2020

Show notes

If self-awareness, and awareness of the world around you is the goal. I strongly recommend taking on a daily creative project as part of that regimen. Here is why: To make creative work, you must look both outside AND inside. You must call on imagination and ACTION. you must find your voice, and use it... even if all it speaks is questions.

24. Space to Breathe Jun 10, 2020

Show notes

This episode is a workshop. A guided meditation (if meditation is a written or spoken discourse expressing considered thoughts on a subject) but really, it is an opportunity to show yourself yourself. It is designed for participation. Oh, and grab a pen/paper, recorder, because I don't want you to go on unheard.

23. How to Have Uncomfortable Conversations Jun 03, 2020

Show notes

It’s time to have some uncomfortable conversations. Being uncomfortable goes hand in hand with learning, and people, we need to learn because we need CHANGE! In this episode, I give a few first hand accounts of uncomfortable conversations about racism. I also give you my lesson plan for having uncomfortable conversations of ALL sorts. With a little bit of curiosity, compassion, and some good old fashioned listening, you can stop the cycle of confusion and find yourself in the driver seat of change; well on your way to creating the world you want to live in

22. Dance Class on ZOOM May 27, 2020

Show notes

I’ve been using Zoom for over a year (for non-dance related meetings) but I’ve been teaching dance classes on Zoom for about 10 weeks now. I have learned A LOT, and let me tell you, there’s a lot to learn! Yes, there are a handful of really great videos on Zoom Dance Classes out there already, but my goal with this tutorial is go beyond how to download and install the app and set up glasses. My goal is to share all the things I’ve learned about being creative and effective with the platform.

Show notes

This episode goes out to everyone that wants to be booked and isn’t. It goes out to the Graduating Seniors that want the cap and gown gathering. It goes out to the dancers that want to win a title at Nationals this year. This goes out to everyone that wants to have their highest earning year (you still might by the way… but you might not). This episode is about not getting what you want. And news flash… most of us aren’t good at not getting what we want… so let’s get to work
