A podcast by dancers, for dancers where no topic is off limits! Hosts, Riley Goudy and Dawsen Saley, break down life after college as professional dancers and all the things that come with it. Dancer’s Choice Podcast is rooted in the mission to start much needed conversation in the dance community. We believe change begins with the individual and this podcast is our way to start. We cannot expect the dance industry to change its ways if we do not start within. Be the Change or Stay the Same… Dancer's Choice. New Episodes every Thursday!! xoxo

Mental Health Awareness Month: How Dancers Can Help Break the Stigma + Additional Resources

Welcome back to the Dancer's Choice Podcast + welcome to the LAST full episode of Season 1! This week, to acknowledge & respect May as Mental Health Awareness Month, Riley and Dawsen sit down to not only share advice based on their own mental health journeys, but open up about what we as a dance community can do moving forward, when it's not mental health month, to help break the stigma and be the change.

This isn't your cliche "take a bubble bath and go to therapy" episode...instead we open up about how to combat mindset struggles, the importance of communication & acceptance, and share ways that we can make studio spaces safer. Not to mention- great opportunities for further education/certifications are discussed (& shared below in this description)

We hope you know how loved & appreciated you are. Keep being the change and lifting each other up. <3 xoxo.
