225 - How Dancers Can Build Success Even When the Dance Industry Says “No” with Kara Tatelbaum
In episode 225, Kara Tatelbaum (author of Putting My Heels Down, critically acclaimed choreographer, renowned Pilates teacher, and dance educator) shares an honest look at what it means to continue building a meaningful life in dance when things don’t go according to plan. This conversation explores how dancers can navigate rejection, injury, burnout, financial reality, and evolving identity without losing their connection to movement or themselves. Kara opens up about growing up with physical limitations that teachers constantly criticized, making peace with a career trajectory that looked different than expected, and eventually finding fulfillment in places she never anticipated, including teaching preschool dance after years in higher education, choreography, Pilates, and the professional dance world. Galit and Kara also discuss the difference between being an instructor versus an educator, balancing artistry with survival jobs, the pressure dancers place on themselves to “make it,” and why stories from non-famous dancers still matter. This episode offers perspective for dancers trying to create sustainable careers, expand their definition of success, and feel less isolated in the realities that so many people in the dance world quietly experience.

224 - Archie Burnett - The Club Is the Classroom
Archie Burnett is a foundational voice in New York’s dance and club culture (House of Ninja, Check Your Body at the Door and world-renowned teacher) - someone who's lived through and contributed to the environments that shaped social dance as we know it today. In this episode, we get into the realities of the club scene, the impact of policy and tragedy on nightlife, and how dancers adapted when everything around them shifted. Archie shares what it meant to learn through observation, community, and experience (long before social media). This conversation goes beyond dance into philosophy, identity, and the mindset that’s carried Archie through decades of life, work, and movement.
