We're back with Episode 78! And we're recapping six big things that have happened over the past six months at Rhythm and Confetti on the Dance Floor — and giving you a sneak peek at what's coming this summer. From new Camp Confettis to our biggest announcement ever (we're moving!), this episode is packed with all the fun, chaos, and sparkle you expect from us. Here's what we cover:1. New Camp Confetti Themes We launched Pink Bubbles & Emerald Energy (Wicked-inspired) and Bark in the Park: A Big Blue Adventure (Bluey-inspired), and we're loving all the pics and videos coming in. These two new themes have been a huge hit with studio owners and dancers alike.2. Studio Owner University with MTJGD We attended Studio Owner University in beautiful Amelia Island with our team—Krista, Kelsey, and Shelley—and left full of inspiration, ideas, and to-do lists. SOU is always a reset, and having our team there this year gave us fresh perspectives on everything from tuition to communication. Plus, our Confetti booth had one of its best events yet.3. Summer at Rhythm is in Full Swing Even though summer registration launched in February, we officially kicked off summer camps just a few days ago. After a quick regroup post-show, our team is dialed in and ready—improving everything from communications and staffing to crafts and content creation. The energy in the studio is high, and we're loving it.4. We're Moving and Expanding After 32 years (and 25 in our current building), we're making a massive move to a brand new, 9-studio, 25,000 sq. ft. space later this fall. It's a huge milestone and we're still in permitting, but we're so excited to share this journey with you. Expect full episodes soon about this transition—we've got big plans to make this the most Rhythm space ever.5. Survived Competition & Convention Season January through April was wild. From intense schedules to dazzling custom costumes (shoutout to Beth for sewing every piece!), we made it through the busiest season ever. Our production number continues to be a huge creative outlet—we may not choreograph it anymore, but we're still deeply involved in all things music, costuming, and storytelling.6. RHYTHMerald City OZtravaganza is in the Books We just wrapped our epic Year-End Show and we're still buzzing. From the vibrant theme to the over-the-top production, this show might be one of our all-time favorites. There's so much to share, we're planning a deep dive soon.

Chef Kenny Offers New Takes on Southern Cuisine Chef Kenny Gilbert is best known for his appearance on “Top Chef” Season seven, where he displayed a big personality and instantly became one of the most likable "cheftestants" to date. He is also the author of the new cookbook, Southern Cooking, Global Flavors (2023), which includes tips and techniques for making international variations of over 100 iconic Southern dishes. "My passion is food. Wherever I go, whatever I do, that's how I roll." - Chef Kenny Gilbert Throughout his career, Kenny has traveled the world, staging in some of the top restaurants in Japan, Spain, France and the Caribbean. He has cooked at the James Beard House, participated in wine & food festivals around the country, cooked for the Sports Illustrated Super Bowl party and appeared on the “Today Show,” Jacksonville's FOX 30 and in the LA Times. MEET CELEBRITY CHEF KENNY GILBERT Kenny joined us for a Lit Chat Interview on Tuesday, August 27, at the Mandarin Branch Library. This program was sponsored by the Friends of the Mandarin Library. MORE ABOUT THE AUTHOR & INTERVIEWER An award-winning chef and restaurateur, Kenny Gilbert's career spans over two decades and has graced him with opportunities to travel around the world and learn the authentic techniques and flavors of global cuisines. He has always had a love of cooking. Growing up in Cleveland, but with roots in the South, his father was an avid BBQ man with his own rubs and sauces while his mother was a fantastic home cook. In April of 2023, Kenny released his very first cookbook, Southern Cooking, Global Flavors from Rizzoli. Interviewer Cindy Sutton and her husband are the parents of three children and are now first-time grandparents. Cindy is retired from the healthcare industry, where she worked for almost 30 years. She has lived in various places across the United States and is an avid traveler who enjoys great food and great wine (and cocktails). Living in different areas around the country and traveling around the world has afforded her the opportunity to eat at famous restaurants and experience the creativity and genius of a lot of chefs. Her husband, David, had the opportunity to experience Chef Kenny‘s creations in the late 90s when he was at the Ritz Carlton in Amelia Island, and since then they have both been big fans of Chef Kenny and have traveled to other cities just to experience his cuisine. --- Never miss an event!

Hear about travel to Northeast Florida as the Amateur Traveler talks to Angie Orth from Angie Away about her hometown and the area around it. Why should someone go to Northeast Florida? Angie says, "So many reasons. People come to Florida for a lot of different reasons. Mostly theme parks, maybe swamps, alligators, Miami. Those are the things when I meet people around the world that they think Florida is about. Everybody thinks I either live in Miami, in some kind of penthouse, or like at Disney World, in a castle of some sort." "There's so much to do here, but I would say the majority of it is It's outdoors, it's nature, it's history. We have a ton of interesting history that even natives don't necessarily know about. It's hidden away in the neighborhoods and buried and there's ruins and also layers of history, layers and hundreds of years and wars. To make this area what it is and it's really interesting once you start going to the national park areas and the forts and the ruins." Angie recommends several must-see locations and activities in Northeastern Florida: Fernandina Beach and Amelia Island (Nassau County): Visit Fort Clinch State Park for hiking, biking, and exploring historic forts. Enjoy the beaches, which are often quiet and uncrowded. Enjoy one of Amelia Island's charming bed-and-breakfasts. ... https://amateurtraveler.com/travel-to-northeastern-florida/ Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Andy is on the scene at the ACC meetings in Amelia Island, Fla., and the scene is… weird. (0:00-3:05) Intro - Live from ACC Spring Meetings! (3:06-9:41) Kickoff Times Announced (9:42-23:12) North Carolina, Board of Trustees Update (23:13-48:40) Florida State Update with Ira Schoffel (48:41-53:44) NFL vs CFP Games on TV (53:45-1:02:33) NCAA president speaks on House Settlement (1:02:34-1:03:09) Conclusion Two ACC schools (Florida State and Clemson) are suing the conference, and the conference is suing those schools back. And everyone is meeting ahead of a potentially exciting 2024 football season because no one can do anything about the court cases right now. Meanwhile, the board of trustees at North Carolina made a very public statement that the Tar Heels need to consider membership in another conference. Unlike at Clemson and Florida State, where the president and athletic director were very much on board with the anti-ACC sentiment, the trustees spent part of their meeting Monday criticizing athletic director Bubba Cunningham, who was headed to the meeting in Florida when they met. Cunningham, at least publicly, has been supportive of the ACC. Also, NCAA president Charlie Baker met with ACC ADs and coaches Monday to brief them on some of the big changes heading their way. The NCAA is negotiating a settlement in a class action lawsuit (House v. NCAA) that likely will change the business model for college sports. And Baker is talking like a person who wants that multi-billion dollar settlement done so the schools can start preparing for the future. Later, Andy and Ira Schoffel of On3's Warchant discuss Florida State's position in the ACC right now as the Seminoles sue the league in Florida and the league sues the Seminoles in North Carolina. Plus, Andy and Ira discuss what Florida State will look like on the football field this year after losing some very important players to the NFL. Want to watch the show instead?
