Two Left Feet Podcast
By Two Left Feet
Our goal is to give a voice to amazing performance dancer's and instructors.
A lot of times we only see them perform.
But they have so much more than that to offer !
Performs and instructors have a voice, a story, and experience. They have tips/hints. Value to give to people outside of their amazing choreography.
We want to facilitate spreading their voice/story via podcast.
