What does it take to bring out that ‘thing’? 

….You know, that ’something-something ’ that sets a dancer, performer, or artist apart from everyone else.

This week on the podcast I’m joined by award-winning choreographer and dance educator Lesie Kuny. 

With 20+ years of experience in the dance world, guiding all ages, genres, styles, and environments. Leslie truly lives up to her mantra or a human-first approach to working with dancers, empowering, educating, and equipping dancers for their best success whist holding space and allowing young women to be seen, heard, and respected. 

She sees choreography as a collaborative process, and uses it to guide her dancers to discover and express their truth… finding that little something unique in us all, which has led her to massive success in the world of competitive dance. 

…A mentality you can transfer into any creative path for sure. 

We talk:

…and loads more, as always!

This week I'm joined by Leila Simone: Embodiment Master Coach & Somatic Dance Facilitator and Former Professional Dancer. 

We talk:

- Her powerful healing journey, from finding dance at the age of 2, to training as a professional.

- Unlearning a lot of her professional dance training and finding it again as a spiritual practice.

- How she infuses somatic dance, music and emotional alchemy now into her work as a somatic coach. 

- Masculine and feminine energies in life and business. 

I really hope this conversation sparks your curiosity into the connection between the body and your outward creative expressions — because, in my experience, learning to understand and navigate that connection enriches, not only your work itself, but also your ability to share it freely.
