In Part 1 of our two-part interview with physical therapist Erika Mayall of Allegro Performance and Wellness, we dive into why ballet dancers need specialized care from providers who truly understand the unique demands ballet puts on the body. Erika shares her journey into working with dancers, how injury prevention differs for ballet artists, common misdiagnoses, and early warning signs dancers and parents should watch for. She also offers guidance on choosing the right specialist and how dancers can advocate for themselves in healthcare settings.

Cris Judd joins America's Podcaster, Kurt Caceres, for the final chapter of the trilogy. He completes his story that started with a future pro Golf career and transitioned into becoming one of Michael Jackson's premiere dancers on the global stage. Where most kids start dancing at 4 years old, it never even crossed his mind until it fell into his lap when he was 21 years. Never a thought, nor even a dream, he found a new passion for this thing called "dance", which brought out a form of expression that had been dormant deep inside his soul. He went from obscurity, to within months, rising to the very top of the world and touring the planet with one of the greatest musical artists in the history of the world, the King of Pop. Finally, after years on the biggest stages in the largest countries, he is paying it forward by sharing his gifts with the next generations and choreographing numbers on television shows across all platforms. He took the magic, discovered his gifts, and proved that with drive, focus and a self confidence, all dreams are possible.XPlease Follow and Subscribe to the Podcast.

America's Podcaster, Kurt Caceres, continues the journey with dancer and choreographer, Cris Judd. He reveals how he looks for the "Nomads" and "one's standing on the outside", for cultivating talent. "I'm impressed by dancers today, they are supreme athletes, compared to the old days, I would've never been able to hang", says Cris. He says "choreographers are also so clever these days, they use word play which is intricate and fast". He tells the epic story of how he left his job as lead dancer at Disney World, to tour the planet with Michael Jackson, but only because Disney wasn't willing to accommodate and compromise. He shares how he auditioned for Michael, Michael's rehearsal process, and takes us inside the mind of one of the biggest artistic talents in the history of music. The King of Pop "was never militant with his dancers, he never demanded, he just expected", says Cris. "He taught us how to be present and stand still, because dancers always have the need to keep moving". Michael was the King of stillness.XPlease Follow and Subscribe to the Podcast.

America's Podcaster, Kurt Caceres, sits with world famous and legendary dancer and choreographer, Cris Judd. This story is not about his marriage to Jennifer Lopez, it's about an amazing human being, full of integrity, talent, compassion and dedication to his family and career. Growing up as an athlete, he was destined to become a professional Golfer, with the skills and tenacity of the greats. However, he accidentally fell into the dance world when he got a part time job working the Main Street Electrical Light Parade at Disney World, where his dance partner just happened to be Wayne Brady. He hadn't taken his first dance step until he was 21 years old and its been a career ever since. With only a few months of dance experience, he beat out thousands of dancers auditioning to dance with The Backstreet Boys. Though he was green and raw, the biggest players in the dance world noticed his innate talents and he eventually became one of Michael Jackson's dancers on his Dangerous and History tours. His strategy for success was as such, "find the best dancer in the room and stand behind them". Now Cris is the best dancer in the room and has dancers lined up to learn from him.XPlease Follow and Subscribe to the Podcast.

Dear Shakers,I am super pumped to have my first guest, Rashaida Melvin, an educator, entrepreneur, and dancer! Growing up in an environment where there was only one black teacher compelled Rashaida to realize the importance of an educational program where diverse voices are adequately reflected. She pursued a path to design an education system that is inclusive towards kids of different racial, ethnic, social, and economic backgrounds.Rashaida is a true diva. No matter what she does, she never gives up on her passion. She turned her passion into a business and became an owner of the DivaDance Studio. DivaDance Studio's philosophy is confidence and community building. Since Rashada took the reins of DivaDance Studio, she increased the clientele and featured on Good morning Washington. As an entrepreneur, Rashada truly appreciates the value of customers' feedback so that she can create a home where all aspiring dancers build confidence and friendship. Here is my conservation with Rashaida Melvin.My biggest takeaway from this conversation is that regardless where we are in live, we should always strive to keep our passion and hobbies alive! Because we never know that one day those hobbies can become our new ventures. Please Subscribe!

Matt formed his own successful rock band, sElf and then cofounded Spongebath records an imprint of Zoo records. From 1995 on sElf and Spongebath became a shining beacon of hope for indi bands in middle TN wanting to shake the stereotype of country music. After a decade in middle TN Matt moved to LA to be closer to his next label Dreamworks where he developed his production career continuing to write and record for his own band. He has a long list of artists in the studio including: Pink, Beck, Liz Phair, Tenacious D, Lupe Fiasco, Phantom Planet, Beyoncé, Butch Walker, Hellogoodbye, Forever the Sickest Kids, Miranda Cosgrove, The White Tie Affair, Keith Urban, The Sounds, L.E.O. and Smash Mouth. And recently Matt just played on Beck's Grammy winning Album of the Year 2015, Morning Phase. Matt has also created music for many filmmakers including Ivan Reitman, Michael Mann, Jeffrey Katzenberg, Andrew Adamson, and Hans Zimmer. And he also wrote music for Shrek, Shrek 2, and Shrek 4. And contributed music for the cartoons Ni Hao Kai-Lan and Sanjay and Craig. And other TV credits include: CSI Miami, DanceLife, Entourage, MTV, E! Entertainment, Weeds, and 60 Minutes. He has even spoken at TEDx Nashville, and notably created the famous jingle for Expedia.com, and appeared on Jimmy Kimmel Live as the Muppet character “Animal” in a drum off with Blink 182 drummer, Travis Baker.

Hold on to your iPods—the IntelliDANCE Podcast has arrived! I’ve been thinking about doing this for some time, but hadn’t really decided when or how. Then, when I was working on the previously promised recap of my presentation at the DanceLife Teacher Conference, it all came together.Since the presentation included two Awareness Through Movement® (ATM) lessons on alignment, and since ATM is best experienced by following verbal instruction (as opposed to written instruction), I realized that I needed a way to talk you through the lessons. In the two articles that follow, you can read a summary of the ideas covered in the lecture portion of my DanceLife presentation, but you can try the lessons by subscribing to the Podcast.Click below to listen to the introductory episode, which provides some general background information. You will find Lesson 1, which addresses alignment while standing in turnout, at the end of the next article. Lesson 2, which will address scoliosis, will be coming next week.Enjoy!Click Here for Podcast
