kileigh boatwright ,

must listen for anybody interested in the dance industry!

I’ve listened every week since the 1st episode and can say this is seriously one of my favorite podcasts! Between the immense amount of helpful dance-related knowledge and frequent good laughs, I always know this is a good listen and a good one to recommend to others. I also just adore Taylor and Alex! 🤝🥳🤍

This podcast never fails me :,)

Let me tell y’all… while I am not a consistent podcast listener, I sure am a binge listener. No matter if I’m driving to a casting in LA or to my contract up in Sandusky, OH, Alex and Taylor never fail to keep me entertained for those lengthy hours of driving. Being a young professional dancer, this podcast truly has given me so much insight and continues to spark my inspiration with each episode. Having both Taylor and Alex as teachers during my experience at TAPS just makes it feel that more relatable and comfortable while listening! Keep doing amazing things, I love and adore you both!!

The BEST dance podcast out there!

As a professional dancer of 15+ years let me tell you these two NAIL IT! Taylor & Alex are such stars on the industry and they're even better Pod hosts! If you're hoping to make it in the industry and NOT tuning in each week you're missing out on gold!
