Caroline De La Rocha's Dance Journey

Season 2 · Episode 54

Tuesday, August 19, 2025 • Duration 58:29

Crazy story–I actually met Caroline at church and then found out she used to be a professional dancer! It's also a funny story how I discovered this because she's so low-key about it, lol. She's not one to brag or try to draw attention to herself, but she did used to curate her Instagram when she was pursuing dance so that she could book those jobs! So scroll down a bit on her IG and check it out if you're interested. :) She was on "So You Think You Can Dance" and danced in music videos for artists like Saweetie and Olivia Rodrigo. She was booking TV jobs. She also has some really fun dance class vids, killing it in hip hop and contemporary. BUT! She retired from dance????? At 22???? Why???? Well, you'll have to check out the full episode to learn about that. She also gives good tips and advice for how to book jobs in the dance world (or at least how it worked for her), while also sharing candidly about what it was like for her to live that "dream" and why she felt like it was no longer her path. Learn how she found a new career direction and whether or not she thinks she'll ever return to dance.

Willow Beccia's Dance Journey

Season 2 · Episode 53

Tuesday, August 12, 2025 • Duration 55:27

She just moved to LA a couple months ago, but you may already know her because she takes so much class and is such a fierce dancer, especially in hip hop and contemporary! Willow Beccia grew up dancing in Massachusetts among her family of dancers, doing all styles and competing. Also, her mom owns a studio, so she ended up teaching there full time and loving it! She became the assistant director and thought she might work there forever. But then she started to realize she had sort of lost sight of her own dancing and dance training. She felt compelled to push herself out of her comfort zone and move to LA to train hard for dancing professionally. So here she is, loving studios like Millennium and Playground LA and enjoying the warm, sunny weather. She is working hard to attain her goals and having faith they can happen, but in the meantime, she's enjoying the journey and just happy to be here. :)

Yari Rivera's Dance Journey

Season 2 · Episode 52

Tuesday, July 29, 2025 • Duration 45:16

You've met a lot of her friends already, but now it's time to get to know dancer/teacher/choreographer Yari Rivera! Yari has been dancing all her life–every style but with much focus on ballet and currently contemporary. We would describe her choreographic style as angsty floorwork contemporary with lyrical vibes, and it is GORGEOUS. She has created multiple pieces for dance company LA Unbound, and she considers this a vulnerable process as she puts a meaningful part of her heart on stage. Tracy describes taking Yari's class as a challenging and fulfilling experience. They also discuss Yari's LA Unbound dance from May, which was a tribute to her grandmother and uncle who passed away in recent years. It was beautiful and touching, and we are so excited to see what she'll bring to the stage this November!

Kaycee Tacata's Dance Journey

Season 2 · Episode 50

Tuesday, July 1, 2025 • Duration 01:02:07

I met Kaycee Tacata through LA Unbound. It was my first season performing with them and her second. We were in a contemporary piece together, but she was also in five other pieces! This girl can do it all–contemporary, jazz, jazz funk, cheer and pom, musical theater, you name it! So talented not only at dance but also in organizing and administration. She was the PCN (Pilipino Cultural Night) coordinator her last year of college, and she loved being able to put that dance show together. She also teaches dance and choreographs for competitions. She's starting grad school soon and plans to go into entertainment industry management, but she's also auditioning for pro cheer teams! Kaycee is driven and hard working, ready to give 100% to everything. She's equally inspiring as she is vulnerable and relatable. We have so much fun in this episode, and I hope it gives you joy and comfort for your own dance journey!

Christina Wampler's Dance Journey

Season 2 · Episode 49

Tuesday, June 17, 2025 • Duration 01:06:56

Christina Wampler is a beautiful dancer. She grew up loving dance, training in dance, and even teaching dance by age 14! She taught mostly ballet and acrobatics, and that definitely shows in the type of choreography she creates today. I met Christina because she started a Christian contemporary class called The Way Dance Company that meets once a month and learns a dance to a worship song. This has been a wonderful experience. Her class is so peaceful and inviting, but then she throws in a crazy turn or floor work move, and the challenge begins! I have loved getting to know Christina and learning from her, so it was extra fun to learn way more about her story on this episode! Like I didn't realize she moved to LA as a child to do acting with her older brother and sister. And get this, she was on two of my favorite TV shows!! Whaaaaat. Such a fun conversation about that, but she hasn't been focusing on acting lately because she mostly feels called to teach dance and work with kids. She teaches preschool and kindergarten, as well as high school students, so she has the full spectrum! Tune in to learn all the details of Christina's dance journey and what her ultimate vision is for dance performance.

Makia Chantel's Dance Journey

Season 2 · Episode 48

Wednesday, June 11, 2025 • Duration 03:24:11

Makia Chantel has an amazing dance story, and I can't wait for you all to hear it! Makia and I first saw each other at a free Christian hip hop class put on by non-profit organization Dancing Disciples. Shortly after that class, I ended up dancing in the piece she created for her church's Easter service, which was so fun and crazy! But Makia wasn't always dancing for Jesus. She used to dance for many big artists–in music videos, at the Grammy's, in commercials, and touring! In terms of her dreams and what she had worked so hard for since childhood, she had made it. She had everything she wanted. She looked shiny and successful on the outside, but inside she was dealing with insecurities, health issues, and depression. She was partying and doing things she never thought she would do, but she was so far deep in destructive habits and lying, she didn't know how she could ever get free. But then, one day, a friend talked to her about God, and this started a long and winding journey of her exploring this new idea. Makia had so many questions. Is God even real? Is it a he / she / force / energy? Is the Bible true? Who is Jesus? What's the deal with Christians? Follow along as Makia takes us through her adventure of navigating God, life, and her dance career. There are so many wild stories, you won't want to miss it!

Zoe Ortiz's Dance Journey

Season 2 · Episode 47

Thursday, June 5, 2025 • Duration 54:18

I'm so excited for you all to meet Zoe Ortiz! She's only 15, moved to LA about a year ago, and has already booked dance and acting jobs. She takes multiple classes a day, mostly at Millennium and Playground, and she is loving the training here. (Good thing, because she actually convinced her parents to move here from Texas through a PowerPoint presentation and months of persuasion, lol.) I noticed Zoe so quickly because of her amazing talents, humble spirit, and kind heart. She also works so hard, as you'll hear more about in this episode. And you would never believe some of the challenges she's had to face, because nothing is deterring her from being the best dancer she can be and achieving her goals.

Paul Sivertsen's Dance Journey

Season 2 · Episode 46

Wednesday, May 28, 2025 • Duration 01:41:05

He dances, he acts, he sings, but you probably know him best for his creative and unique choreography... it's Paul Sivertsen everyone! (pronounced SEE-vert-sen) Paul moved to LA in 2009 to pursue his performing dreams and plans to continue forever! He loves to create and has now choreographed about 20 shows for LA Unbound, from country musical theater to Mortal Kombat theme to his most recent piece "Jurassic Creep," which had people and dinosaurs dancing together to TLC, and the audience ate it up! So much fun and hilariousness, as with all his pieces. I was actually a dinosaur in that one, so tune in to hear all about our experience and how it came together. Paul and I also connect on how we moved to LA the same year and what it's been like trying to live our artistic dreams while also surviving here and paying the bills!

Michelle Shvedov's Dance Journey

Season 2 · Episode 45

Friday, May 23, 2025 • Duration 01:11:56

You would never believe that Michelle Shvedov started her dance journey last year because she is flying! She did spend 10+ years of her life doing rhythmic gymnastics where she also learned dance, but it wasn't until this past October that she started taking studio dance classes regularly. Her gymnastics skills shine in contemporary class, and her ability to give 100% effort to everything she does has helped her grow in dance quickly. She's starting to get called out in small groups and solos and is enjoying every bit of it because she loves performing! She also loves ANIMALS and will be leaving LA in the fall to go to grad school to be a veterinarian. Could be Ohio, could be London... but wherever it is, she will find a way to keep dance a part of her life. Check out the full episode, and get to know Michelle while she's still in LA this summer!
