Conversations with Toi

In this episode of Conversations with Toi, we're diving into the realities of mental health and wellness. The journey looks different for everyone—some may struggle with deep anxiety, while others battle waves of depression. It's easy to compare our experiences to those around us, but the truth is that no two paths are alike. Despite the challenges, one thing remains constant: there is always hope. Join me as we discuss ways to navigate these ups and downs, find support, and cultivate resilience in our everyday lives.

Happy Memorial Day to all

In this inspiring episode, Toi sits down with special guests Liz Jovovich, Priscilla Garner, and Andreas to celebrate a monumental achievement for The Dance Ground, Bucks County’s premier performing arts school.

Their youth dance company—an exceptional group of 23 talented dancers aged 11 to 18—has been invited to perform at the prestigious Chita Rivera Awards at NYU Skirball Center in New York City on May 19, 2025. The Chita Rivera Awards, the only awards ceremony dedicated solely to honoring excellence in dance and choreography across Broadway, Off-Broadway, and film, is a glittering celebration of the past, present, and future of dance.

Join us as we explore the passion, dedication, and artistry behind this incredible opportunity, diving into the creative process of renowned choreographers André Jovovich and Priscilla Garner, the impact of The Dance Ground dancers’ performance, and their inspiring effort to raise $30,000 for the NYC Dance Alliance Foundation—a nonprofit that provides college scholarships to talented teens pursuing dance careers.

Plus, hear firsthand from our guests about the significance of being part of a ceremony that will honor Broadway legend Ben Vereen with a Lifetime Achievement Award, and what this experience means for the future of young performers in the world of dance.

This episode is a celebration of movement, dedication, and the power of dance to inspire the next generation. Don't miss it!
