It is rare these days to find a class that doesn’t end in select groups filming the combo. In this episode I break down why cameras made their way into the classroom, my thoughts on if they should stay there, and what you can think about if you find yourself in front of that metal, plastic, and glass square. Do you think cameras belong in the classroom? DM me @wordsthatmovmepodcast and let’s talk about it!

What do you do every day? Every hour? Every minute? We all like to think we know how we spend ALL of our time, but what if instead of spending 1 hour you were spending $1,ooo? What if you were given $24k a day to spend with no roll over to the next day? Spending that 1 hour at the gym might not look so bad. Come with me as I reflect on what I do daily and how I’m looking to spend my $24k in 2023.

Today I have the incredible Ayesha Orange on the podcast to continue the conversation on the difference between Associate Choreographers and Assistant Choreographers. Ayesha has been an Associate/Assistant on Euphoria and Dear White People, and for artists like Rihanna, The Weeknd, and Kesha. I could keep listing her credits but they wouldn’t fit on this page. We dig into why she likes this role as well as why you need to be listed on the call sheet and so much MORE. Please enjoy this conversation with Ayesha Orange.
