Calling all dance nerds 🎧 In this episode, we go deep into the making of a dancer. Liza opens up about growing up with a musical family, quitting ballet, moving countries, and rediscovering her power through Frame Up. Her take on musicality, being part of community, and choreographing will resonate with anyone who's ever been obsessed with dance. We talk passion, pressure, socks vs no socks (yes, really), and what it takes to truly own your growth. This is one of our most inspiring convos yet! Plus, she shares what it meant to be recognized by the same people who first inspired her — a true full circle moment
