What if dance education actually nurtured the whole dancer? In this episode, I sit down with @theballeteducator Austin Crumley, whose work moved me to tears the first time I saw it. We talk about what’s been missing in traditional dance training, what today’s dancers really need, and how Austin is helping students find their identity, artistry, and voice — without sacrificing technique. Whether you’re a dancer who’s felt unseen, or a teacher ready to do things differently, this conversation is a breath of fresh air.
