Welcome to Rhee Gold’s Dance Life Podcast, hosted by Stacey Morgan and joined by the fabulous (and very “rugged up”) Rhee Gold—broadcasting from a freezing North Carolina cold snap that has him bundled up and learning new Aussie vocabulary fast. In this practical and timely episode, Stacey and Rhee dive into one of the biggest make-or-break skills for dance studio owners: clear communication. They unpack why miscommunication happens so easily—especially when you’re busy, juggling timetables, rehearsals, one-on-ones, and parent expectations—and how “dance language” can accidentally leave families confused. Stacey shares a real studio example of a small timetable change that created big frustration, and how she handled it: owning the mistake, apologising, and then following up about respectful behaviour and boundaries. Rhee opens up about a recent moment where his intention didn’t land the way he meant it to—and why sometimes the best path forward is a sincere apology rather than defending or over-explaining. Together, they explore the reality of 2025 customer expectations: parents are busy, life is full, and confusion creates cranky customers—even when you’ve communicated multiple times. You’ll also hear: Why an apology isn’t always “enough” when a parent has a backlog of unresolved grievances How creating structured feedback pathways can prevent blow-ups later Why studio communication must be multi-channel (email, socials, newsletters, in-hand notes, reminders… all of it) When using ChatGPT can help remove emotion from tough emails—while still keeping your voice How the post-pandemic world has gotten even busier, and why that impacts both studio owners and families A reminder that personal growth is part of entrepreneurship—and learning communication is part of the journey This episode is your encouragement (and your challenge) to build communication systems that are robust, consistent, and two-way—so you can reduce misunderstandings, protect your team, and keep your studio culture strong. Because when communication improves, stress reduces… and everyone gets to enjoy the journey.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The Nutcracker: Concert Suite vs. Ballet Welcome back and Merry Christmas Eve. My girlfriend Karen and I partook in a Northcoast Christmas season tradition a week and a half ago for the very first time. And of course, my dad had a record for that.  It's not a vinyl record, but a shellac album set recorded nearly 100 years ago that probably belonged to my dad's dad. And it's filled with music from a US holiday tradition. But if you've ever seen the ballet it's connected to, you'll notice plenty of music missing. I'll tell you why as we go along. In fact, this is going to be a lengthy dive into the difference between the suite and the dance. So, get ready to hear the most notable themes from a fairytale ballet as Stokowski conducts Tschaikowsky in Volume 251: A Cleveland Ballet Christmas Tradition. For more information about this album, see the Discogs webpage for it.  Credits and copyrights Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky - The Philadelphia Orchestra Conducted By Leopold Stokowski – Nutcracker Suite, Op. 71a Label: Victor Red Seal – DM 265 Series: Musical Masterpiece Series Format: 3 x Shellac, 12", 78 RPM, Album, Reissue, Camden Pressing Released: in the mid 1940s, I am not sure of the release of this version.

Raymond Rodriguez, Dean of Pittsburgh Ballet Theatre School, breaks down their Company Experience program and why they created it. Unlike traditional summer intensives, the Company Experience simulates professional dancer life through repertoire-heavy training and direct interaction with Pittsburgh Ballet's artistic staff. Raymond explains what a typical day looks like, the types of choreography students work on, and who mentors participants throughout the program. The conversation covers how the program helps dancers understand company realities, what discussions happen around professional life expectations, and who should consider attending. Raymond also addresses opportunities for students to be observed by artistic staff and how often participants transition into Pittsburgh Ballet's postgraduate levels or main company. He shares what sets Pittsburgh Ballet's approach apart from similar company experience programs and offers guidance on whether this type of specialized training is the right next step. If you're considering programs that go beyond traditional technique-focused intensives, this episode explains how Pittsburgh Ballet prepares dancers for professional life.

SpaceTime with Stuart Gary Gary - Series 28 Episode 150In this episode of SpaceTime, we delve into intriguing discoveries and ongoing challenges in the realm of astrophysics and planetary science.Cosmic Dance of Dying StarsAstronomers have made fascinating observations of a unique star system named Apep, located over 8,000 light years away in the constellation Norma. This rare system consists of three massive stars locked in a 190-year orbit, creating stunning spirals of cosmic dust. Using the advanced capabilities of NASA's Webb Space Telescope and the Very Large Telescope in Chile, researchers captured extraordinary images revealing four distinct dust shells spiraling outward from the stars. Lead author Ryan White from Macquarie University discusses how these findings enhance our understanding of stellar interactions and the evolution of massive stars over time.Titan's Liquid Ocean: A New PerspectiveA recent study challenges the long-held belief that Saturn's largest moon, Titan, harbors a vast underground ocean. Instead, researchers suggest that Titan may have a more complex internal structure characterized by slushy tunnels and pockets of meltwater rather than a global liquid water ocean. This revelation, based on a reanalysis of data from NASA's Cassini mission, could have significant implications for the search for potential life on Titan, indicating that any existing life forms might inhabit a more confined environment with concentrated nutrients.NASA's MAVEN: Communication ChallengesMission managers at NASA are working diligently to restore contact with the Mars Atmosphere and Volatile Evolution (MAVEN) spacecraft, which went silent during a routine pass behind Mars on December 6. Engineers are analyzing data from before the loss of signal to identify the cause and determine if the spacecraft can be salvaged. MAVEN has been crucial for studying Mars' atmosphere and has served as a vital communications relay for surface missions.www.spacetimewithstuartgary.com✍️ Episode ReferencesAstrophysical JournalNatureNASA TVBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/spacetime-your-guide-to-space-astronomy--2458531/support.(00:00:00) This is space time series 28 episode 150 for broadcast on 22nd December 2025(00:00:47) NASA's Webb Space Telescope reveals four spectacular dust shells from distant star system(00:10:58) New study says Titan probably doesn't have a vast underground liquid water ocean(00:15:57) NASA mission managers continue efforts to restore contact with missing maven spacecraft(00:18:36) New study finds shared genetic patterns across 14 common psychiatric disorders(00:20:56) A new study claims acupuncture treatment for lower back pain reduces pain

The conversation weaves through holiday traditions, travel plans, family time, and the realities of being a dance studio owner who is always “on.” Stacey opens up about why the beach is her place to reset and simply be herself, while Rhee shares his love of long drives, country music, and heading home for Christmas — plus a few confessions about snooping for presents as a kid. They also talk downtime (or the lack of it), background noise vs. music, Netflix habits, and yes… Ted Lasso makes another appearance. Most importantly, this episode is a reminder to pause, breathe, and truly enjoy the journey — especially during the holidays. It’s about creating lifetime memories, embracing fresh starts, and giving yourself permission to rest before the new year begins. ✨ Whether you’re a dance teacher, studio owner, or simply someone who needs permission to slow down, this episode is your invitation to reflect, reset, and move into the new year with gratitude and intention.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Davit Karapetyan and Laura Bowman Goldstein from Philadelphia Ballet break down three focused summer programs designed for dancers considering specialized training: the Pas de Deux Intensive, Variations Intensive, and Company Experience. They start with partnering, an essential skill that many students cannot get in their local schools. Davit and Laura talk about how much partnering really matters in today's job market, what experience dancers need going in, and how this intensive tackles the challenges students struggle with most. Next, they dive into the Variations Intensive, where dancers receive targeted competition coaching and individualized feedback. They explain why dedicated variation work matters, how pieces are chosen, and what dancers can expect from the final showing. Finally, the Company Experience offers a taste of professional life, with daily training and direct access to Philadelphia Ballet's artistic staff. The conversation covers schedules, repertoire, and how often students move from this program into trainee, second company, or even the main company. Davit and Laura also share guidance for dancers and parents trying to decide which program makes the most sense, and what sets Philadelphia Ballet's summer training apart. If you are looking beyond a traditional summer intensive, this episode lays out three distinct options and who each one is really for. Learn more about Philly's summer programs.

Au Maroc, la culture du supportérisme est particulièrement vivace. Totalement dévoués à leur club de cœur, les ultras construisent leur vie autour de l'amour du maillot, entre confection minutieuse des tifos dans le plus grand secret, écriture de nouveaux chants ou accueil des nouveaux joueurs. Dans ce domaine, les ultras des deux grands clubs casablancais, le Wydad Athletic Club et le Raja Club Athletic, sont reconnus dans le monde entier comme parmi les plus dynamiques et fervents. Rencontre avec ces passionnés de l'écusson à l'occasion d'un Wydad-Raja, le derby de Casablanca.  De notre correspondant à Casablanca,  Stade Mohammed V, Casablanca. 29 octobre 2025. C'est l'un des matchs les plus bouillants de la planète. L'ambiance est indescriptible. La marée rouge des ultras Winners 2005, virage Nord, fait face aux deux groupes ultras du Raja, virage Sud. Le stade comprend officiellement 44 000 places, mais pour ce match, plus de 60 000 personnes ont pris place dans les gradins. Les tribunes sont bondées. Par manque d'espace, les supporters sont collés les uns aux autres. Pendant 90 minutes, les ultras se concentrent sur les directives des kapos, chefs d'orchestre de ce spectacle qui se joue en tribune. Avant le coup d'envoi, pas moins de neuf tifos démesurés seront déployés dans le stade. Les images feront le tour du monde. Soudain, à la 56e minute de jeu, des centaines de fumigènes, rouges d'un côté, blancs et verts de l'autre, illuminent le stade, tandis que des feux d'artifice explosent de part et d'autre. Le stade n'est plus qu'un nuage de fumée. Le match est arrêté à trois reprises. « Le match est suspendu, c'est à cause de ce qui se passe dans les gradins. C'est un autre match qui se déroule dans les tribunes : les deux publics sont en train de faire action-réaction, un craquage ici, un craquage de l'autre côté… Et c'est aussi une battle de voix, qui se fait bien entendre dans le stade », explique Badreldin, un ancien ultra. À lire aussiCAN 2025 : la préparation et la ferveur des supporters avant le coup d'envoi « Chacun défend ses couleurs, des joueurs jusqu'au public. » Même si la paternité et son mariage l'ont assagi, il reste un fervent supporter du Wydad. « Nous vivons ça chaque année, et nous aurons cette passion pour toujours, depuis l'enfance et à jamais. [...] C'est un peu fanatique : chacun défend ses couleurs, des joueurs jusqu'au public. », ajoute-t-il. Ballet d'écharpes qui virevoltent dans le ciel, clapping sophistiqué, chants pour moquer les supporters adverses : le spectacle n'est pas sur la pelouse, mais bien dans les tribunes. « C'est hyper sportif, donc ils ne font rien d'autre que chanter, pousser, encourager, décrit le passionné. Ils considèrent ça comme un devoir pendant tout le match. Si les joueurs doivent mouiller le maillot, les supporters aussi doivent mouiller le leur et laisser leur voix dans les gradins ».  Zacharia, 18 ans, longs cheveux bouclés dressés vers le ciel, est membre des Green Boys du Raja : « On est tous une famille, t'as capté ? On est tous une famille dans le virage ». Il rappelle la règle d'or des ultras : ne pas accorder d'interview filmée, ne pas prendre de vidéos dans les tribunes. « Parce que dans les ultras, il faut être inconnu ou mettre des cagoules pour ne pas être reconnu par la police ou par les médias », rappelle-t-il.  Au-delà des clashs avec le camp adverse, la culture ultra est aussi une affaire de prises de position politiques. Les Rajaouis, notamment, ont construit leur identité sur des chants contestataires, évoquant les injustices ou le manque d'espoir. Plus récemment, le chant en hommage au peuple palestinien, « Rajaoui Filistini », a connu un succès au-delà des frontières. Zacharia partage cet engouement : « Rajaoui Filistini, parce qu'ils parlent des Palestiniens, des pauvres, des innocents qui meurent sans cause… Ça m'a beaucoup touché ».  Aujourd'hui, les ultras du Raja sont toujours divisés en deux groupes. Ceux du Wydad, eux, ont décroché à quatre reprises le titre de groupe ultra de l'année. Début novembre, ils attiraient encore l'attention en illuminant les quais de Seine, face à la tour Eiffel, pour célébrer leurs vingt ans d'existence.

===== MDJ Script/ Top Stories for December 12th Publish Date:  December 12th    Commercial: From the BG AD Group Studio, Welcome to the Marietta Daily Journal Podcast.    Today is Friday, December 12th and Happy Birthday to Frank Sinatra I’m Keith Ippolito and here are the stories Cobb is talking about, presented by Times Journal Pedestrian safety improvements coming to south Cobb Gateway Marietta CID seeks public input on 12 projects The Georgia Ballet Presents: The Nutcracker Plus, Leah McGrath from Ingles Markets on milk As well as Shane Delancey the Director of the Christmas Tradition at the Strand Theatre All of this and more is coming up on the Marietta Daily Journal Podcast, and if you are looking for community news, we encourage you to listen and subscribe!  Now here is Shane Delancey the Director of the Christmas Tradition at the Strand Theatre BREAK: THE STRAND STORY 1: Pedestrian safety improvements coming to south Cobb  Cobb County’s making moves to keep pedestrians safer in south Cobb, tackling two big projects: a pedestrian bridge near Factory Shoals Road and new bollards at Mableton Town Square Park. Let’s start with Factory Shoals. That bridge over I-20? Built in 1963, and, well, it shows. No sidewalks, no bike lanes—just a narrow shoulder that’s barely walkable. Commissioner Monique Sheffield said it’s been a problem for years, especially for folks working at nearby businesses. Now, the county’s greenlit a plan for a new pedestrian bridge alongside the old one, connecting sidewalks on both sides. And Mableton Park? Bollards are coming to stop cars from driving onto the grounds—because, yes, that’s been happening. STORY 2: Gateway Marietta CID seeks public input on 12 projects  The Gateway Marietta CID wants your thoughts—yes, yours—on 12 infrastructure projects they’re planning. These aren’t just random ideas; they’re focused on Franklin Gateway, South Marietta Parkway, and Delk Road. What’s on the table? Everything from streetscapes and trails to bridge replacements and new road connections. Some projects, like the Rottenwood Creek Trail extension ($20 million!) and Franklin Gateway bridge rebuild, are already in motion. Others, like adding Gateway signage or narrowing roads for multiuse trails, are still in the “what do you think?” phase. Your input will help shape what gets prioritized. Got opinions? Take the survey before the master plan wraps next year. Visit engage.publiccoordinate.com/en/project/gateway-marietta-cid-project-prioritization. STORY 3: The Georgia Ballet Presents: The Nutcracker  The Georgia Ballet’s The Nutcracker is back, running Dec. 18–23 at the Jennie T. Anderson Theatre, and it’s bringing all the holiday magic you’d expect—plus a little extra sparkle this year. Here’s the twist: they’ve teamed up with Hamp & Harry’s, a Marietta Square favorite, to add some festive flair. Think Nutcracker-themed cocktails (yes, there’s wine and beer too) in the lobby before the show and during intermission. The ballet itself? Pure enchantment. Tchaikovsky’s iconic score, Clara’s midnight adventure, snowflakes, sweets, and Daet Rodriguez’s choreography. There’s even a Sensory-Friendly performance on Dec. 18—perfect for kids or anyone needing a gentler experience. Tickets start at $23. Don’t wait. We have opportunities for sponsors to get great engagement on these shows. Call 770.799.6810 for more info.  We’ll be right back. Break: Villa Rica Wonderland Train STORY 4: North Cobb Christian student wins statewide essay contest  North Cobb Christian seventh-grader Samille Shy just snagged first place in Georgia for her essay, “What Is Patriotism to Me?”—a big win in the VFW’s Patriot’s Pen contest, which had over 120,000 entries nationwide. Samille’s take on patriotism? It’s about giving back. She wrote about volunteering at a food pantry, helping out at The Humane Society, singing with her school chorus on Veterans Day, and being part of the Sea Cadet Corps. The Georgia VFW loved it, awarding her top honors. Next stop? The regional competition. Not bad for a middle schooler, huh? STORY 5: McEachern rolls into state championship game  Every time McEachern scores, the announcer calls out the updated score. And when the opponent has zero? Oh, the crowd lives for it. They stretch it out—“zerooooooo”—like it’s a victory chant. They’ve had plenty of practice. Over the last two seasons, McEachern’s flag football team has gone 51-2, allowing just 2.9 points per game with 35 shutouts. Monday was no different. The Indians blanked Lithia Springs 19-0, then crushed North Forsyth 33-0 to punch their ticket to the state championship at Mercedes-Benz Stadium. Now, McEachern heads to the championship, chasing back-to-back titles. GEORGIA TECH: No. 22 Georgia Tech is heading to the Pop-Tarts Bowl to take on No. 12 BYU on Saturday, Dec. 27, at Camping World Stadium in Orlando. Kickoff’s at 3:30 p.m., and you can catch it live on ABC. This marks Tech’s third straight bowl trip—something they haven’t pulled off since 2012-14—and their 48th all-time, which ranks 14th in college football history. With a 9-3 record, it’s their best regular season since 2014. BYU (11-2) comes in hot, despite two losses to Texas Tech. It’s a ranked-vs.-ranked showdown, Tech’s first since the 2014 Orange Bowl. History’s on their side—they’re 2-0 in this bowl. I'm Keith Ippolito and that’s your MDJ Sports Minute. And now here is Leah McGrath from Ingles Markets on milk We’ll have closing comments after this.

Erica Fischbach and Sean Omandam from Colorado Ballet Academy break down two of their specialized summer programs: the Choreographic Workshop and the Young Dancer Intensive. The Choreographic Workshop immerses older students in a professional-style setting where they learn to pick up choreography quickly, work with mentors, and develop their artistic voice. Artist talks expose participants to what life is like as a professional ballet dancer. The location? You'll want to hear where this program takes place -- it's an environment that enhances creativity in a way most studios can't match! The Young Dancer Intensive is designed for younger students, balancing quality training with fun activities outside the studio. What sets it apart? It's one of the only programs like it that offers housing where parents and kids can stay together, providing comfort and support for younger dancers taking their first step into intensive training.  Learn more about these ballet summer intensives on their website: https://coloradoballet.org/Academy-Summer-Programs Links: Read Ballet School Summer & Year-Round Reviews  https://reviews.ballethelpdesk.com/ Buy Corrections Journals Support Ballet Help Desk Instagram: @BalletHelpDesk Facebook: BalletHelpDesk TikTok:  Music from #Uppbeat: https://uppbeat.io/t/ian-aisling/new-future License code: MGAW5PAHYEYDQZCI Takeaways: The Choreographic Workshop lets students experience what it's like to be a professional ballet dancer. The location of the Choreographic Workshop provides a unique and inspiring environment for creativity. Mentorship is a key component of the programs.  Students learn to pick up choreography quickly, simulating a professional setting. Artist talks provide insights into various career paths in dance. The Young Dancer Intensive is designed for younger students, focusing on fun and quality training. Parents can accompany younger dancers, providing comfort and support. Activities outside of dance enhance the overall experience for students. Both programs emphasize both technical skills and artistic expression. Students leave with a stronger sense of self and confidence.
