Disability and Dance

Saison 1 · Épisode 7

mardi 14 octobre 2025 • Durée 50:59

In this episode, we talk with Hazel Weakly, a deaf transfemme Lindy Hopper and tech whiz with serious groove and even more serious swivels, about what it’s like to move through dance and disability. Hazel shares how she learned to hear the music through feeling and tension, becoming known as a musical switch dancer, and opens up about coming out as trans, plus what a pair of 4-inch heels can do for leads! Lou and I also chat about our own limitations and disabilities: the funny, messy, and sometimes frustrating ways being visibly disabled changes how people treat you, and the myth of the “normal” body. 5, 6, 7, 8!

Why We Love Music

Saison 1 · Épisode 6

mardi 23 septembre 2025 • Durée 41:08

In this episode, we kick back and shoot the sh*t about the music that made us who we are. From musical theater favorites to top 40 hits, from Jelly Roll Morton to that chest-pounding movie score mega-hit no millennial can go without, we wander through the soundtracks of our lives. Music is both inexplicably personal and a mirror of where we come from — shaped by heritage, cultural waves, and the things we soaked in as kids without even knowing it.As we follow these threads through memory and meaning, we find ourselves tracing the path to how we fell in love with partner dance — and why Salsa and Jazz still hold us in their rhythm. This episode is part nostalgia trip, part love letter to the songs that shaped us, and a reminder that the music we carry is never just sound — it’s story. 5678!

Follows are Not Props!

Saison 1 · Épisode 5

mardi 9 septembre 2025 • Durée 41:51

Hey dancers! This episode is a call to action: follows are not passive passengers, social dancing isn’t a one-way street and toxic masculinity is tiring AF. From the old dance tropes of “dance dummies,” and the idea of “don’t think, just follow,” the dance world has a lot to unpack. Treating follows like props is just the tip of the iceberg—and it fosters the darker, more psychologically and physically unsafe elements of dance spaces for some, especially women. We dig into how follows co-create the dance, why so many leads default to control of female bodies, and what true collaboration can feel like when both partners bring their full artistry to the dance. Lou gets into the Euro roots of partner dance, how patriarchy shaped the roles we inherited, and what’s shifting as dance communities face their own #MeToo movements. More and more people are speaking out—including our hero, Frankie Martinez (mentioned in this episode), one of the few men in the scene calling for change. This conversation is for everyone who cares about social dance—and we hope it inspires more men to start listening and speaking up too. Let’s go!

5, 6, 7, 8!

Dancing While Genderqueer

Saison 1 · Épisode 4

mardi 26 août 2025 • Durée 36:28

Hey dancers! In this episode we dive into what it really feels like to social dance as a genderqueer or queer person — the joy, the tension, the resistance, and the magic. We unpack how traditional partner dancing often reinforces binary roles, and what it means to disrupt that system just by showing up in our full, fluid selves. From the awkwardness of being miscast into “leader” or “follower” roles to the liberation of queering the dance floor, we explore how queerness can expand, reimagine, and even heal dance spaces. We also talk about how to create intentional, affirming environments where all bodies, all expressions, and all identities can move freely. Because queerness doesn’t just fit into dance — it transforms it. Let’s get into it.5, 6, 7, 8!

Somatics

Saison 1 · Épisode 3

mardi 22 juillet 2025 • Durée 35:10

Hey dancers! In this episode, we're diving into somatics—what it is, how it differs from traditional dance training, and why it’s such a powerful tool for reconnecting with your body, soul and wider community! We share personal stories from our own therapeutic and somatic journeys, reflecting on how these practices have helped us push back against hustle culture and rediscover a more grounded, sustainable relationship with movement.

We also unpack how somatics invites us to move from sensation instead of shape—and how that shift can make dance more accessible, more human, and more meaningful. This episode is a reminder that dance isn’t just for the “technically trained” - it’s for anyone with a body and a desire to move. It’s not about how good you look; it’s about how deeply you feel. Also for anyone interested in books to read instead of The Body Keeps The Score, which is very traumatic to read and written by an abuser, check out: My Grandmother's Hands: Racialized Trauma and the Pathway to Mending Our Hearts and Bodies by Resmaa Menakem, The Myth of Normal: Trauma, Illness and Healing in a Toxic Culture by Daniel Maté and Gabor Maté, Adult Children of Emotionally Immature Parents by Lindsay C. Gibson, or literally anything by Bell Hooks to name a few💕

Groove is in the Heart 💓 and the Heart is in the Basics

Saison 1 · Épisode 14

mardi 24 février 2026 • Durée 30:52

This week we’re getting into the basics. Why rushing into flashy patterns can strip away the soul of a dance. Why groove > quantity. And why the “basic” step and other foundational groove and technique is actually the skeleton of the dance and every flashy move too. The basics aren’t working? Neither will the advanced move.We also get into teaching beginners, retaking classes in the opposite role, ableism in dance spaces, and how focusing on fundamentals creates more inclusive scenes and lifelong dancers.Because basic aren’t boring.They’re the heart of every partner dance.
