This was a post-nap, dreary, and cloudy day episode featuring Alicia "Ayo" Ohs, and it looks like much of the same in NYC. So, maybe grab some nice chai tea and wrap a blanket 'round ya shoulders as you join us for a conversation about getting this MONEY!

Somehow, we combined a very informative conversation about periods with our intended subject about appropriation! This episode is jam-packed with useful information! We know you'll enjoy the laughter between our hosts and our guests, Melanie Geoge and Hadar Ahuvia

We sat down with JoVonna Parks, dancer with Elisa Monte Dance, and discussed some of the unsavory practices of not paying dance artists for the work they do, as well as some ways of negotiating pay.

Have you ever wondered if you could ever pay your bills simply from your dance checks? During this episode, we spoke about jobs and careers dance artists have alongside their performance and choreographic careers!

Can we benefit from something like the Oscars/Grammy's for Dance? Is there bias in the awards that exist? Why don't we have a Best Choreographer category for the Oscars!?
