It's been one hell of a few weeks, and I'm honestly exhausted but in the best way possible.EmeroyTV had a solid week last week with strong progress on reactions - I've got about 20 left to finish up. This week was minimal progress since I literally haven't been able to sit at a computer until now. I've been either on set, filming, or in rehearsals nonstop. But I did manage to film more Street Woman Fighter episodes with Max and Lauren on Tuesday evening. These episodes are incredibly long, but we're pushing through because I want to keep this series going with the three of us who started it together. Max and I also knocked out a couple podcast episodes for Awkward Tea Party that'll drop in a few weeks.Temper Tantrum just wrapped our most ambitious "Temper Tantrum Versus" episode yet. We challenged the dancers to learn instruments and perform as a band in front of a live audience. They had one week to master My Chemical Romance's "I'm Not Okay," and they absolutely crushed it. One group even learned an additional song on their own time. When the audience started singing along during the performance, I got goosebumps. This was our biggest production challenge ever - 9-10 cameras rolling simultaneously, 6-10 mics for audio coverage across multiple venues and shoot days.We're also gearing up for the Alhambra block party on September 6th if you're in the area. Unfortunately, our annual retreat got canceled due to scheduling conflicts, but we're planning a bonding day instead - something low-pressure where we can get out of LA and connect as a team outside of dance.My schedule as a dancer has been insane. Late night rehearsals from 4 PM to 12:30 AM, then right into Temper Tantrum work the next day. I'm choreographing for a music video this Saturday, and there are potential opportunities for judging and teaching at conventions coming up. Next week is going to be brutal with rehearsals from 6 PM to 3 AM on multiple nights, plus a Temper Tantrum performance on the 6th, followed by our new "Choreo Lab" project on the 7th.Visual Paradox filmed with our comedian client this past Tuesday focusing on reaction content, and we're experimenting with a new format tomorrow. We've got the podcast and reaction content dialed in, so now we're testing what else we can explore.Ochacha is deep in rehearsals for their September show, with auditions on September 7th for anyone with at least two years of dance experience who loves anime.The lesson this week? Recovery is everything. When you're juggling this much simultaneously, sleep becomes the difference maker. I've been using my sauna-pool-hot tub recovery protocol when possible, but honestly, sleep is what keeps me sharp enough to lead teams, perform, and handle client work without being mentally foggy.Sometimes you just have to trust the process and make sure you're taking care of yourself so you can show up fully for everything else

On this episode of The Adam and Dr. Drew Show, Dr. Drew kicks things off by reacting to James Comey's bizarre new video professing his love for Taylor Swift, sparking a conversation about how everyone seems to be campaigning for public approval these days. Adam points out the unsettling trend of old TV personalities like Ellen and Bill Cosby, who were always dancing and performing for the cameras, later being exposed as deeply flawed individuals, and he compares that same off-putting behavior to politicians like Kamala Harris and Hillary Clinton with their awkward laughter. Dr. Drew dives into how cognitive dissonance has warped people's ability to think clearly, while the guys also revisit an old Loveline clip of Jewel singing live, leading to a discussion on how unreliable our memories can be compared to what actually happened.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

It's amazing how our family was discovering, step by step, God's plan for our lives. Thomas and I, came to Germany with one purpose, to share the gospel of Christ, that we had come to know in California. Our lives were transformed by Jesus, and we wanted nothing more than to share those truths. We were always a part of a team that worked together on each project at hand.  In a recent episode, I talked about the international folk dancers, that inspired us, with a desire to replicate their example. Many countries were represented through their traditional music, costumes and flags. Dancers and musicians of all ages, including children, brought so much joy tothe audience. At home that evening Thomas and I, talked about the idea of God's people being visible to the world, rather than only gathering, within the walls of the church buildings. We decided to start praying about how we could create something like this.

In this powerful episode, Ambassador Elisha sits down with Amanda Trisdale, founder of Autistic Wings Dance Company, to explore how she and her brilliant daughter Leta are transforming the world of dance for autistic children.   Amanda shares her inspiring journey — from her daughter's diagnosis to launching an inclusive, autism-informed nonprofit dance studio that is breaking barriers and setting new standards.   Learn how Amanda combines science, therapy, and creativity to build individualized dance education plans (IEPs) that empower neurodivergent dancers to thrive.   Discover the unseen challenges autistic kids face in traditional dance studios, the harmful effects of uninformed teaching, and the real-world steps studios can take to become truly inclusive.  

The new documentary "Match in a Haystack" follows members of Ukraine's contemporary dance troupe as they prepare for their first performance since Russia invaded.

Welcome to episode 82 of the Make Dance Fun Podcast! Today, we're kicking off a brand-new series called Five Fun Things—a collection of episodes where we'll share creative ways to bring more FUN into different parts of your dance season. Because, after all, our mission is to help you Make Dance Fun!In this episode, we're focusing on five fun things you can do during company intensives, summer camps, choreography weeks, or anytime your company dancers are spending extra time together. These ideas are geared specifically toward team bonding, motivation, and building studio culture—and they've all been tested and loved at our own studio.Here are the 5 Fun Things we're diving into:1. Outside-the-Studio Adventures From pool parties and popsicles to mini golf and roller skating, getting dancers out of the studio helps them connect in a totally different way. These casual hangouts create space for conversations and camaraderie. Add in a fun challenge like a scavenger hunt or team craft to encourage interaction with someone new.2. Motivational Prizes A little surprise can go a long way. Stock up on fun finds from the Target dollar aisle or similar spots, and hand them out as rewards for hard work, leadership, or positive attitudes. We've done custom prizes like the Happy Rhythm Hippo or Sharp Rhythm Shark, often paired with a snack and a fun graphic. These are great for staff to hand out—or even let dancers nominate each other!3. Headshots & Posters We love taking individual headshots of our company dancers and creating colorful, branded posters for display at events. It adds a level of professionalism and pride. Group shots are great too if time allows. We include this in our company fees and use the photos throughout the season.4. Get-to-Know-You Games A great icebreaker activity to build connections. You can DIY fun superlatives or prompts like “Most likely to win a tap battle” or “Always has snacks.” These spark laughter and help dancers get off their phones and into real conversations. We're actually working on releasing this activity as a digital download soon!5. Team Goal Setting & Vision Boards Whether you're guiding individual dancers or small groups, vision boards are a meaningful way to set goals together. Give them a worksheet, or let them cut and paste from magazines, printouts, or Pinterest. We've done this at the studio and even off-site at art studios. The goal is for them to collaborate on something visual that can hang in the studio and remind them of their shared purpose. Group photos add a nice personal touch.Our Favorite Team Bonding Memory? A Barbie-themed night at Avalon—complete with dinner, a scavenger hunt, games, crafts, friendship bracelets, and a photo shoot. It was pink, fun, and unforgettable!We hope today's episode inspires you to incorporate a few of these ideas into your own intensives, rehearsals, or company gatherings. Not only do they build stronger teams—they also make for great content. Capture the moments and share them through a reel, TikTok, vlog, or photo carousel. These are the things that highlight your studio's personality and set you apart.Thanks so much for listening. We'll be back next week with another fun and creative episode of the Make Dance Fun Podcast!Let's Get Social!
