Hi and welcome to Shoes Off, No Cap. A podcast where we talk about all things dance. In our first episode, we talked about sexual harassment in the dance scene. We wondered why this isn’t being talked about more, what can you do when you’re being harassed, and what if it’s your friend who’s harassing others.

We hope you enjoy this episode and if you do, please share with your friends to get the word out. Thank you for being here with us and we hope that you get comfy, take your shoes off and get ready to dive deep with no cap.
