Undergrad Horror Stories: Harmful Experiences in Dance Academia and the Silver Lining
Everyone loves a good horror story around Halloween. For our second episode, we decided to share some of our own horror stories from dance school. No, we're not talking about the 2018 remake of Suspiria, (although Erin would not mind having had Tilda Swinton as a teacher!) In this Episode, we talk about some of our most problematic experiences in dance academia. The things some teachers told us that broke our souls at the time and now we can look back and laugh about it. We invite our guest, Shantel, to join the conversation and her stories left us shocked. We challenge and question the traditions, positions of authority, and audition processes that determine who gets to major in dance. We also discuss the many different paths and roads one can take in the field of dance and dance education, and how we make room for the many different talents, abilities, and interests one may have as a dance major.
