Description

Hey friend, this episode is a deeply personal one. We’re talking about grief, growth, and how to keep your joy alive on the dance floor - even when life throws challenges your way.


In this episode, we talk about:

  • Trang shares her reflection on her recent experience grief and depression, exploring the impact of losing someone in the dance community, a dance partner moving away, and what it taught her as a dancer and a person.

  • How teachers and more developed dancers need growth too, and why keeping elders inspired is essential to prevent burnout.

  • The balance between sacrificing your own joy to help others versus protecting your own body and energy. 

  • Inspiration matters: beginners need to see what’s possible to spark their own growth.
