It features advice, views and anecdotes from a continuum that ranges from the local grass roots movers up to the dance world professionals. Every dance parent and would-be dancer can make use of the dance world's insights, life and social skills, confidence building and evolving lifelong friendships . Hosted by dance teacher and professional dance educationalist, Katherine-Lucy MA, the podcast stems from her lifelong experience as a dancer, teacher, tutor and facilitator, and her passionate belief that everyone benefits in multiple ways from dance and movement in their life.
