dance podcast

This topic is so needed. Every dance studio has issues with this, which is why I will not say names etc. of my guests. We as Parents, dance teachers, Dance studio owners, etc. Need to be aware of what is going on and try to find a solution instead of adding to the problem. I have chosen to leave the names of people off for privacy and because I do not believe this to be any one studio's problem.
