“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.”
