Episode 4 with Terrina Harford / For the Love-cast

Watch it here

In this episode, Terrina and I talk about ALL THE THINGS, particularly how the dance world is a microcosm of the greater world and how so many of our struggles manifest not just outside of dancing, but inside it as well. We discuss what feels like everything from breaking gender norms in dance to learning to be vulnerable. But no worries, our love of Bachata is the underlying theme of it all!

We hope this conversation resonates with you.

In this episode I chat with Dianne Seppelfrick of Chicago about her journey in loving Bachata and not accepting when others told her "no one likes that style." Her poetic words capture so much of the feeling I believe we all share for Bachata.
