PART 2 - Jason Teasdale Spills Secrets on Work Ethic, Inclusivity and Surviving the Dance Industry

Last week’s episode was just the beginning! Jason Teasdale and I had such a rich, meaningful conversation that we couldn’t stop at one episode. So, we’re back with Part Two, diving even deeper into the realities of the dance world, the challenges of teaching, and the wisdom that comes with two decades of experience.

In this episode, Jason shares insights into the resilience required for a career in dance, the shifting dynamics of our industry, and what it means to inspire the next generation of dancers. We laugh about the quirks of being dance teachers (hello, Kmart earrings and clear nail polish hacks!) and tackle the big questions: diversity, inclusivity, and leadership in the arts.

We also touch on the beauty of finding "your people" in dance and how vital it is to create spaces where students, particularly male dancers, can truly belong. Jason’s humour, honesty, and dedication to the craft shine through, and I promise you’ll come away inspired.

So, grab your headphones and join us for Part Two of this unforgettable conversation. Whether you’re a dancer, teacher, or someone who loves the art form, this episode will resonate with you.
