WOW. Artists Becoming is exactly what the dance world needs. I would have loved to have access to something like this when I was a student/young professional. However, I find that these podcasts are important for artists of any age or at any stage of their career. I have recommended Artists Becoming to many of my students as well as my fellow colleagues. These conversations are so important, timely, and therapeutic. If you want to continue your dance career/artform for many years to come, this is the tool you need! Thank you Jessica and Shelby for inspiring us all, for creating this community, and providing a platform for powerful conversations. Amazing work!!!
