Deep-Dive with Stephanie in April Rose’s podcast

If the opportunity doesn't exist, then I will create it for myself.

On November 7 and 8, the historic Denair Gaslight Theater will host my show, "Gift of the Nile." It’s my interpretation of the journey from south to north on the Nile: the sequencing will loosely reflect this geographical journey, and also the chronology from past to present in the music. By pairing dancing with real-life experience and a narrative structure, I hope to create a story that connects the iconic past with this corner of the world I live in today.

👉 Hear more about my thinking behind "Gift of the Nile" (and beyond) on maestra April Rose's podcast, released today.

April Rose may not be a familiar name to people outside of the industry, but she's a highly respected teacher and international performer.  It felt so good to connect with April Rose in a variety of human (not just dancer) ways that I think will resonate far beyond the dance floor.

We discuss how:
* Being a parent helps to inform our purpose
* We avoid the trap of comparison
* We are healing ourselves through dance
* Being a dance teacher is a personal and spiritual challenge
* We navigate the online space
* Productive struggle and friction play an important role
* Dance is the most efficient way to spend your time to get maximum benefit
* Creativity is the key to happiness
