39. THE CATCH UP From Iso, Hello 2022
Special edition to kick off 2022, I have Conner joining us for the very first time in TDP history!
We're both stuck in isolation after testing positive together so enjoy a very candid interview between myself and Conner where we discuss how we met, wedding updates, his take on the performing arts industry and more! Don't worry, I still have the usual dance segments and all the bits you love about my catch up episodes just with the added bonus of Conner tagging along!! -

37. LIFE IN CALI w/ Sydney Richardson
Navigating the transition from High School to College and everything in between. We discuss the importance of foundation classes even for professional dancers and how to make sure you're getting the most out of your training regardless of your ability. Sydney is on a journey of self discovery as a dancer and choreographer in LA and I loved being able to sit down and discuss this time in her life as a tool/resource that will hopefully assist other aspiring artists in similar positions.
