Dancers Doing Stuff

By Haley Grove

Hello! Welcome to Dancers Doing Stuff! My name is Haley, I'm a professional dancer living in NYC, and I know a TON of creative people. I'm a big believer that dance can be the thing you love most in life, but it can't BE your life. Not if you want to have a sustainable career. So who are you as a person outside of dance? What other passions help you fuel your creative spirit as a whole? What keeps you grounded as an artist? What do you do when the industry shuts down and there are no dance jobs...? That's what I'm here to talk about, dancers doing the stuff they love! Thanks for listening.

Season 2 Updates - Where the heck have I been?!

134| Tik Tok and Giraffe Necks with Austin Telenko and Marideth Batchelor

134| Tik Tok and Giraffe Necks with Austin Telenko and Marideth Batchelor

Today I'm speaking with Austin Telenko and Marideth Batchelor, and it's a good one! We attempted a very complicated Tik Tok wall art craft, and it involved painting, drawing, stabbing, and sewing. 

I first met Marideth and Austin in NYC dancing at Broadway Dancer center, but you may know them as the Tik Tok duo Cost_n_Mayor!  

Marideth is originally from Raleigh, North Carolina, where she began training at the age of 14! She has a strong foundation in street styles and graduated from the University of North Carolina at Charlotte with a Bachelor of Arts degree in Dance Performance, Choreography, and Theory. While in NYC, she danced with AbstraKT Beings (Theresa Stone) and Shinsa the Collective (Bo Park) and was a cast member in “Dead Man’s Party” at Six Flags Great Adventure.  

Austin Telenko, originally from  Elizabethtown, Pennsylvania, moved to NYC a few years ago. He is signed to Bloc and has worked a variety of jobs, including two different shows at Canobie Lake Park in Salem, NH, a two-season run of Theresa Stone's Dead Man's Party at Six Flags Great Adventure as Dr. Fright, a Disney Brand Ambassador for the Frozen 2 Experience and more!   

Over the pandemic, the duo decided to escape for two weeks to Marideths family home to get away from the epicenter in NYC. In an attempt to cure their boredom, they made their first Tik Tok video, and the rest is history! They currently have 1.5 million followers on Tik Tok (at the time of writing this... I'm sure it's even higher now!) and 234k on Instagram. Their original choreography has been danced by people worldwide, and because of the app, they have forged their own creative path in the industry. This episode is honestly the most fun I've ever had, and I think you will really enjoy it!   

Follow Austin and Marideth on all social platforms @Cost_n_Mayor  

You can also follow their personal pages @marideth_batchelor and @atelenko don't forget to check out their website https://www.maridethbatchelor.com/cos...
