Hello Everyone!
I was so excited when Amar Smalls reached out about being on the podcast. He is so funny and extremely talented. We talked about his dance journey, how he ended up in Ailey 2 (so iconic), Jake the snake, his art collective BROKELAND, and how sometimes he feels like Hannah Montanna.
AMAR SMALLS (Brooklyn, NY) began his dance training at The Abrons Arts Center Henry Street Settlement in New York City. In 2017, he graduated from Fiorello H. LaGuardia High School of Music & Arts and Performing Arts. He was a Scholarship and Independent Study student at The Ailey School and also trained at the Harlem School of the Arts and Steps on Broadway. At age 16, he started an art collective entitled BROKELAND, where artists create music, film, and paintings.

Hello Everyone!
Yay! First interview back after a while and it's a good one.
Shiloh Goodin and Sara Brians are theatre-makers and the co-founders of Collectus. With years of witnessing and living the hardship of the creative career, they formed Collectus to give artists a damn break from having to carry it all themselves. They create and run an immersive creative support groups called Pod that has been called "a game-changer," "creative therapy and think-tank combined," and "more powerful than I could have even hoped." Sara performed as a Rockette and has worked on six Broadway shows. She now directs and choreographs for live theatre, events and film and is a dance educator at several of the country's top theatre & dance schools. Sara is also obsessed with cycling and plants. Shiloh has performed and choreographed around the world in musical theatre, teaches at conservatories like AMDA and AADA, and is making her Broadway debut this year. She was trained early as a facilitator and community organizer through her years serving on the California Youth Council, designing and running statewide conferences for young activists and leaders. Together, Sara and Shiloh use their combined experience as directors, educators, facilitators and creatives to design true community support for creative people. So artists can go solo, but not alone.
Find Shiloh Goodin and Sara Brians on instagram at @joincollectus and their website www.joincollectus.com.

Hello Hello!
It has been more than a minute since I last connected with you, my lovely podcast listeners, but I'm back! Over the last few months, I moved to a new apartment, organized my job's first recitals in 2 years, got covid again, and finally started taking dance classes more regularly. Lots of exciting plans for Dear Dance Season 3, but you will have to listen to the episode to find out more =)

Hello Everyone!
I loved talking to Jason Potell a few months ago. Jason is an incredible ballroom dancer and has traveled the world, learning different partner dances, teaching, and organizing events for the ballroom community. When he is not on the dance floor, he works to make his community better. Jason is currently running for Congress in Los Angeles, and he hopes to be a voice for all dancers, artists, and performers across the country! While we chatted, we made really complicated paper flowers.
Follow Jason on Instagram @jasonpotell to stay up to date with his dancing and his campaign, and don't forget to check out his website www.potellforcongress.com.

Hello Friends!
Happy Tuesday! Mini Episode coming to you in a Tuesday, how wild! Today I shared some of my thoughts on the Oscars and how there is no award for dance or choreography. What do you guys think about that?!

Hello!
I loved chatting with Jessica Dorcey back in December. Jessica is an outstanding actor and singer who has had a fascinating journey with dance. She shares how she got into the theater world, the process of claiming the identity of "dancer," and an honest and emotional conversation of her relationship with dance right now. Jessica is also a real estate agent killing it in colorado! She broke down how buying a house might be more possible than you think. While we chatted, we made some hot chocolate spoons.
Follow Jessica on Instagram @jessica_dorcey and if you are in colorado hire her as your realtor!

Hello!
I had SO much fun talking with my friend Ryan Miller back in December. Ryan never planned on being a dancer when he was younger and then even tried to quit but the unverse had different plans for him! While we chatted, attempted to make snowflakes and they sort of turned into facemasks.... check it out in the youtube video!
Ryan is a dancer, teacher, choreographer, program creator.... he seriously does it all. You may have seen him dancing for Lizzo, Rihanna, Madona, Travis Scott, Kim Kardashian... just to name a few. Recently he was involved in the making of Karmas World on Netflix!
Follow Ryan on Instagram @_ryanflo_ and stay on the look out for his classes in NYC and LA and his Find Your Life program!

Hello Friends!
Happy Valentines Day!! This month I am focusing on getting studf done especially with my media. I saw the 50th Dance On Film Festival at Lincoln Center this weekend and was so inspired!

In this episode I also talk about the Super Bowl Half Time show which has been in the news quite a lot and has brought to light how porrly dancers are paid and treated in this industry.

Hello!
Today I am sharing my conversation with Alexis Sicklick that we recorded in November! While we chatted, we made nutcrackers out of toilet paper rolls, and tbh mine looked pretty scary (check it out in the youtube video)
Alexis Grew up dancing and still is an active member of the NYC dance community when she isn't running her own business, being a professional chef, or writing her latest cookbook! We speak about how her training as a dancer still shows up in her life as a chef and her fantastic cookbook inspired by the Nutcracker. I gave a copy to my mom for Christmas, and she loved it, so definitely go get a copy for yourself (and your mom!).
Follow Alexis on Instagram @chefleci to see what she is up to, and make sure to follow her business @syncopatednyc for pop-up dinners!
Grab a copy of A Taste of the Nutcracker by following the link below: https://www.syncopatednyc.com/a-taste-of-the-nutcracker-cookbook
