Season 3 - Episode 5: Dance Superpowers with Kendrick White


Listen Later

Episode 5 is rich in thought-provoking, emotional, and honest content because I am joined by the one and only, Kendrick White! Kendrick’s lens is unique because his dance education and teaching career has been anything but “traditional.” Accompanied by a beautiful Pink Cava from Parés Balta in Spain, we discuss the following dance superpowers:

  • A multi-dimensional definition of “confidence”; including bravery, courage, the willingness to be vulnerable, and how to really believe in yourself.

  • Using teaching as a medium to not only communicate, but to create the environment you want and need.

  • A heightened level of preparation with the flexibility to pivot and recover.

  • Observing the business practices of your mentors to find success in your own endeavors.

  • Re-living this episode during the editing process brought me to tears a few times because Kendrick tells his story in an eloquent and beautiful way. We had a chance to process and honor the passing of a dear friend and fellow educator we lost over a decade ago; a shared moment in time both unforgettable and pivotal to our growth. I find Kendrick the same as when I met him: humble, profound(I say this word 3 different times in the episode), and astonishing. Enjoy!

    Special thank you to my favorite restaurant, George + Violet’s for the Pink Cava recommendation and supplying the bottle to try!
