From Too Short to Iconic Dance Career: My Rockette Audition Story

20 minutes

In this episode, Sam shares a deeply personal origin story: from little girl in a dance studio to “too short” at a Rockette audition to a decade on some of the most iconic stages. She walks through the unexpected yeses, the devastating no’s, and the gritty in-between that built her resilience. It’s a masterclass in detachment, trusting your gut, and letting life surprise you.

Key Takeaways

Be open to detours: the “not in the plan” door might be the right one.

Detachment is a skill: celebrate the try, release the outcome.

Hard moments become proving grounds—challenge can create your biggest break.

Follow the breadcrumbs: if it’s aligned, safe, and available… say yes.

Your limits aren’t literal (height, age, timing); they’re invitations to get creative.
