The Weight We Carry, The Moves We Make: Montana Tucker on Why We Dance
Some stories aren’t spoken — they’re moved. In this episode of Why We Dance, host Mia Tate sits down with dancer, actress, creator, and advocate Montana Tucker to explore how movement becomes meaning — and how the body speaks long before words can. Montana reflects on early dance beginnings, the legacy of her Holocaust‑survivor grandparents, the pressures of growing up in the spotlight, and how October 7 reshaped her purpose.
