Customer Reviews
Obsessed
This is the first podcast I’ve ever bothered to review - because it is SO good! I love being able to hear from all of the “famous” (come on, they’re famous to us!) instructors about their backstories, training philosophies, and what they think makes a “good” dancer. If you love zouk enough to travel to congresses, you’ve probably got the basic-level obsession to really enjoy this podcast :) The only thing that keeps me from binging through this faster is some of the episodes are kind of long (1 1/2 hours) - if they were all less than an hour the episodes would be a little easier to get through in one sitting.
I love this show
Great to hear people talking about many dance stuff!
