Episode 16 - Snake in the Water.
Being a thirteen-year old Indian neoclassical dancer involves a lot of sacrifice. It takes your mornings, your evenings, your weekends. It takes you away from your family. It takes focus, pain, concentration. But it gives, too. It gives strength, precision, a way for young women to process sexuality and passion. It gives community. And it gives something sacred: a place where men cannot enter. A place away from abuse. Contact Mic returns with an episode about being frozen by fear and learning to move again.
