This week Carly and Hannah sit down with NYC dancer Maria Gardner. They discuss her childhood as a competitive dancer and how it shaped her crooked path to being a professional. They learn her journey to Point Park is not what they expected and they discuss the challenges of living in New York City. They dive deeper into making a professional dance career work, having to hold multiple jobs, but keeping dance in the center. They also learn more about dance opportunities abroad and how a dancer’s training is never complete.
