This week's episode features none other than Dani Papa. We talk about all things that came before and after full-time in Dani's journey. Originating from Perth, Dani danced at her mum's studio before going into full-time ballet and later moving interstate to train at Brent Street in Sydney. She had a lengthy career as a dancer on the commercial scene and has since worked heavily as a creative as well as opening a studio with her partner Matt. We talk a lot about how to prepare for full-time and also dive into how to approach life after full-time. A great chat and a great episode!

In this week's episode I'm joined by none other than Winston Sky. Originating from the Sunshine Coast, Winston talks about his dance journey, his transition from home to Sydney and his experiences within genres he had not been exposed to while growing up. We chat about training and teaching hip hop, the importance of foundations when it come to any style of dance and how Winston's training has helped him be a chameleon in the dance world. As an emerging performing artist in the professional world, Winston talks about how he didn't do full time and how he went from the intention of being in Sydney for only a year, to now living here and having a successful career in our industry. Definitely an episode you don't want to miss!

Today on the podcast, I'm chatting with one of my favourite people ever - Luca Dinardo! Luca is a professional performer and choreographer who is currently in the Australian tour of Hamilton. As someone who didn't book lots of work as soon as she finished her full-time training, Luca fell in love with teaching and since has become passionate about teaching and training dancers in the best way possible. We discuss all things teaching and mentoring students and finish on the topic of manifestation and mindfulness.
