Buns of Steel

Today we get into detail about two auditions I’ve done recently and what I learned during both. Enjoyyy

Welcome back to Buns of Steel besties. Today we talk all about mindset and how to quiet your mind from those negative thoughts that tend to plague our dancing!!! What a concept!!

Hello Buns of Steel listeners! She’s back. It’s been a minute. We danced on a major cruise liner for 10 months and we made it back to tell the tale. Give me a listen and rate this episode ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

On this week's episode of the Buns of Steel Podcast, Gena competed at a dance competition. Yes. As heard previously, we need to do something that really scares us every once in a while. We worked through traumas and personal setbacks from the past and came out stronger in the end! We love a happy ending. ~ENJOYYY

IT HAS BEEN OFFICIALLY ONE YEAR OF THE BUNS OF STEEL PODCAST. I am celebrating by releasing my very first merch collection AND by launching a very new and shiny website. ~stay tuned my friends~ ANYWAYS, about this episode, we get all into the understudy. They are the backbone of any good piece and can help a lot. If you have good understudies involved, your piece is destined for greatness and you'll put out a lot of fires just having one of two people who can step into any role at any time. As the director, it's your job to rehearse them and make them feel appreciated and needed...because they are! ~enjoy!

Welcome one welcome all to the Buns of Steel Podcast where this week, we talk about doing something that scares you. It's good for you! I talk about how I am entering back into the competition world...Yes you read that right. But this time, we've got more to prove. Take a listen!! Let me know what you think, rate us five stars on apple podcasts and write in with your feedback! ~enjoyyy!

On this week's episode, we talk all about ENERGY. How to control it, how to use it, and how to get it. ENJOYYY.

Today, my lovies, we talk about the unsung satisfaction of taking a dance class. From groups, to cheering on friends, to being a decent human being. ~~ENJOYYY

I have the privilege and pleasure of having Tiny Pretty Things star Tory Trowbridge on the podcast with me today. We talk all things art as I ask her how she got involved with performing and how she was able to turn it into a reality. She's an incredible bright light and I hope you feel inspired after you hear what she has to say. Enjoyy!!

Tell people how you did it!!!! What success you’ve cultivated will not be diminished if you tell someone how you made it. We all have different experiences and no two people can accomplish the same goal in exactly the same way.

On this week's episode of the Buns of Steel Podcast, we have Terence Marling! If you've been a long-time listener, you know about Terry. He's working on making dance accessible, reliable, and interesting by hosting a free ballet barre every weekday on his @common.conservatory instagram live. Go look. There are more than 220 IGTVs of different ballet barres from March 2020 to mid January 2021. He talks about how he looks for ways to give back to the dance community and his plans for the future. ~~enjoy~~

It is so important to make connections -big and small- and the right time to do this? Almost any time. Make small talk, complement the leo, ask where they're from and build that COMMUNITY, HUN. Thats what this is all about, right?

On this week's episode, we break down collaboration! It can be tough to reach out for help or inspiration, but let me tell ya, once you do it's the best way to create. Keep talking, say yes, and edit later! Happy collaborating, friends!

An instagram post that has been floating around for the last 7 days by @maddiebless is the main topic of discussion. A survey of over 900 dancers was conducted and this user created a post consolidating and reporting back some staggering stats about the ballet/dance world as a whole. PLEASE look at her post, read it, digest it, make internal change. As a dancer and instructor myself, I refuse to perpetuate this disgusting behavior.

You come here for the truth about dance and I'm here to deliver, y'all. If you're planning on auditioning for your studio dance company, high school dance team, college, summer dance programs, or professional dance companies, LISTEN UP!! Virtual auditions as well as in-person auditions are part of our world now and we need to embrace it and dominate it. I'm here to help you. I tried to cover it all in this episode to help you, dear dancer, but if there is anything else you need to know about auditions, hit a girl up on instagram (@bunsofsteel). Merde this audition szn!

Only YOU are in charge of your future! Let the direction of your path and passions be dictated by YOU and YOU ONLY! Being a dancer is hard but it’s the most fulfilling work. There is a place in the dance world for anyone and everyone so people need to stop trying to dictate what you’re meant for.

Celebrating 2 months of the Buns of Steel Podcast, we debunk the ever so popular dream killing phrase that you’ll be a “starving artist” if you choose a creative career. We go IN on this topic!

Reach out to your friends and teachers, they would love to hear from you.
