This week's episode tackles MENTORSHIP! Jen chats with fellow dancer and rollerskater, Hannah Zlomke about the various forms of mentorship, how to seek mentorship in a variety of people and the importance of being a mentor to yourself - first and foremost. 

This week, Jen chats with Natasha Slayton of G.R.L to talk about everything that happens in class BEFORE those notorious PlaygroundLA videos you see on Instagram are shot. Natasha gets honest about how her career as a singer and a performer has influenced her dance career and how it plays a factor in her anxiety around dancing for camera. Jen and Natasha also share how they each approach breaking the cycle of saying "no" to groups discuss their attempts on figuring out how to flip the switch from nerves to excitement when performing in a classroom setting. 

In this episode of 5-6-7-8, Jen chats with fellow dancer, Richard Clark. Richie and Jen discuss the mythical barriers of entry when taking a dance class in LA, the ability to switch between the masculine and feminine versions of hip-hop and one way teachers try to be helpful in class - but it ends up rubbing some students the wrong way.

Jen chats with fellow amateur dancer, Liz Caggiano about how hard it was to find a dance program in LA that would fit into a working adults scedule. Listen to how they each built their own dance programs from scratch with lots of trial and error.
