We are back for part two of our Belhaven Dance Alumni Series with my amazing friend, Joanna (Tan) Koleth! Joanna was a guest on the podcast back in November 2020 for episode 24. It is a delight to have her back and to hear about her journey since we last spoke! Joanna is a dance-artist, educator, choreographer, and comprehensively certified BASI Pilates teacher. Her business, MADE TO MOVE STUDIO, merges her passions for dance and Pilates to empower people to move with purpose and freedom across all seasons of life.
Joanna and I originally met during our time in the Belhaven University Dance Department. In this conversation, we chat about Joanna's journey from Kuala Lumpur to Milan, and then to her current home in Johor Bahru, Malaysia. Joanna shares about her experiences with teaching and choreography, the impact of Belhaven University on her life, and advice for upcoming and current students. We also discuss identity, presence, and the importance of community. I love Joanna's dream of having Belhaven reunions across the globe!
Several other Belhaven Dance Alumni have shared their stories on the podcast over the years, so we've gathered all the episodes together in a playlist for you! Check out the â playlist on Spotifyâ !
