DanceSpeak

Imagine being a working dancer without auditioning... while running a thriving business, traveling the world, and being an involved mother and wife. Sounds too good to be true? In this week's episode of DanceSpeak, I sit down with Ebonee Arielle (founder of Show Off Dance, America's Best Dance Crew Alum, and more...), who has managed all of the above, and we find out what has taken to all work out. From being an 'unknown' who booked Nicki Minaj's Tour, to breaking down the taboo of growing a family while in the dance industry, this episode will give you insight on balance, taking the road less traveled, and having it all. Stay tuned till the very end for a bonus clip from Ade Chike Torbert!

In this episode of DanceSpeak, So You Think You Can Dance alum, Ade Chike Torbert, shares the stories before, in between, and behind the string of success he has experienced over the years. Adechike begins painting a powerful picture of the difficult early lessons that molded his unstoppable work ethic, and all of the times he persevered through unimaginable circumstances. The interview I had with Adechike was so epic that we decided to create two episodes from this. In part 1 you will learn what prepared the dancer for reality television life, the seed that was planted for his run with FELA! the musical, and a retrospective on a career that started before Adechike had reached the age of 10. Get ready to be inspired.
