“Joanne has the kindest spirit. She gives wonderful advice, taking the time to pay close attention to details. I think about her insights in dance often. Anyone who knows her or works with her will be imprinted with the love she exudes”

“I have worked with Joanne a number of times, and in each circumstance, I have been encouraged and filled with new wisdom to create beauty through dance. In both her podcast and her work as a dramaturg, she pulls from her own dance experience and research to ask meaningful questions that get to the heart of the dance or the dancer. She is a profound light in the dance world!”

“’Dance Talk with Joanne Carey’ has quickly become one of the dance community’s leading podcasts and sought-after PR opportunities. All of my clients who have had the pleasure of being interviewed by her have expressed that it’s one of the best interviews they have ever done and that they enjoyed the conversation. I am sure this is due to her vast knowledge of dance and her kind, charismatic, and sunny disposition. Joanne is great to work with. She is professional, engaging, responsive, and really fun.”

“I had the delightful opportunity to be a guest on ‘Dance Talk with Joanne Carey’. Joanne is not only a skilled interviewer but genuinely passionate about dance, the arts, her guests, and their work. Her thoughtful questions allowed me to delve deeper into my mission and motivations, and I appreciated that she took the time to explore my website and content ahead of the interview.

We quickly bonded over our shared love for dance and similar experiences as dance educators. Joanne’s empathetic listening made me feel valued and at ease. I feel so connected to her after our brief conversations that I hope to collaborate on future projects and meet in person someday. For now, I’ll be listening to Dance Talk and doing a little dance whenever I hear the catchy intro.

It’s heartwarming to know that Dance Talk exists, providing artists with an outlet to share their wisdom and connect with a supportive community. Thank you, Joanne, for creating such a meaningful space for artists and for being an exceptional host.”
