3: From Dancer to Global Leader: How Jane Grech Built a Dance Empire and Revolutionised Student Teaching

Épisode 3

samedi 21 septembre 2024 • Durée 41:26

In this insightful conversation with Jane Grech, dance educator, entrepreneur and industry trialblazer, we explore the personal journey of a passionate dancer who reflects on the responsibility of staying committed to her art. "It was my job to keep myself at dance," Jane shares, unpacking how her love for dance wasn't about external motivation but an internal drive that kept her returning to class—even when it felt tough.

Drawing parallels between her childhood experiences and today's different parenting styles, she touches on independence, the financial sacrifices her family made, and the role these factors played in her long-standing career in dance.

With over 25 years of experience in dance education, Jane has dedicated her career to not only teaching but also empowering others to lead. As the founder of DanceStep, the world's first formalized dance student teacher education program, she has revolutionized the way young dancers transition into teaching roles, creating a ripple effect that reaches far beyond the studio.

Jane's influence extends globally, working with over 300 studios and impacting the lives of more than 4,000 students. Jane's days are filled passionately supporting dance studio owners, sharing power and powerful strategies designed to build purpose, people, profits and policy.A mother of three, Jane is also passionate about cultivating a joy-filled life, and she brings that same energy and enthusiasm to her work, inspiring everyone she meets to do the same.

samedi 21 septembre 2024 • Durée 28:37

In this episode, we chat with Kiandra Harmen, a dedicated studio owner and dance educator, whose early dance experiences and memories have deeply shaped her approach to building a nurturing and supportive environment for young dancers.

From her first dance class as an energetic toddler, influenced by her ballroom dancer mother, to her formative years of navigating different studios, Kiandra reflects on the moments and people who shaped her journey. She shares how her childhood teacher's warmth and encouragement, despite her "two left feet," left an indelible mark on her vision for her own studio, Reflections Dance Academy.

Throughout the conversation, we explore the importance of creating a positive, collaborative dance environment, steering away from the toxic competitiveness Kiandra once experienced as a teen. She opens up about the challenges of maintaining a nurturing space in an industry that sometimes prioritizes awards and results over student well-being. Kiandra’s mission is clear: dance is about more than perfect technique; it’s about building confidence, forming connections, and creating lifelong memories.

From her early days as a young dancer in regional Victoria to becoming a renowned educator and co-founding Transit Dance, Karen’s passion for teaching has always been at the forefront. Despite the opportunity to pursue a career as a professional dancer, Karen knew early on that her calling was to pass on the knowledge she had gained to others.

This episode celebrates the often-overlooked aspiration of teaching in the dance world, honoring the value of shaping future generations through knowledge, understanding, and compassion.

"I always knew I wanted to be a teacher. It was very clear in my mind. So I have no regrets about not pursuing a career as a dancer. I wanted to pass on the knowledge I had gained to others, and I think my teacher found her replacement that day." - Karen Malek
