Here we Believe in Just a Little Bit of Dance!
It all began with dance. As a Regional Director for Believe National Talent Competition, I have had the opportunity to meet thousands of dancers, choreographers, judges and working professionals who come together each year to celebrate their love for dance.
This is a podcast and channel where the dreamers of the dance industry discuss, reminisce and explore the dance industry, their careers, as well as their hopes and aspirations. We are also able to understand the competitive dance world from the judges perspective, what really makes a routine 'Golden Buzzer Worthy,' and of course, how the competitive dance world has shaped us and prepared dancers for the world. The possibilities are endless in the dance world, dance teaches us to work hard, never give up and how to overcome adversity each and every day. This is a new space where we are able to see the light in such a beautiful and inspiring community.
