Networking, Enjoying the process, Choreographing for Stage | The TROUPE Podcast Ep. 2

*Clarification: In this episode I mention Instagram Reels as if its a new feature. Lol It obviously is not but the point I was trying to make is that you can now monetize Reels and soon Reels will take over on IG. 

Aside from that we discuss choreographing for stage, next networking practices, and how to be patient in your journey. Enjoy!

Simple steps to prepare for LA, Daily Practices, Training Tips | The TROUPE Podcast Ep. 1

It can be incredibly difficult to figure out how to make a living as a dancer or how to even properly develop when there is such a lack of information out there for our community. Thats the reason I started this podcast. I want to close that gap. I've made a living dancing, choreographing, and traveling the world to teach for almost 10 years. I am forever a student but I'm passionate about education and mentorship. for the next generation.   In this episode I talk about what I did to clarify my vision for my future, how to prepare for LA (a lot has changed), and some things you should think about the next time your training.
