In a recent episode of "Discovering Grayslake," recorded at the Grayslake Area Public Library, the host sat down with team members Janai, Addy, Ella, and parent Megan Willhite to discuss their upcoming trip to nationals in Orlando, the hard work behind their success, and the powerful role of community support. This blog post dives deep into the main themes of the episode—dedication, teamwork, fundraising, and the impact of community—offering actionable insights and expert advice for anyone involved in youth sports, dance, or community initiatives. Whether you're a dancer, a parent, or a supporter, there's something here for you. 1. Earning a Spot at Nationals: The Power of Teamwork and Leadership How They Did It Choreographing a Winning Routine:** The team earned their nationals bid at the UDA summer camp at Northern Illinois University, where they performed a routine choreographed in part by junior Ella. Their first-place win was a historic moment for the program. Leadership from Seniors:** Seniors like Janai played a pivotal role, setting the tone for the season and inspiring underclassmen to push harder. Actionable Advice Empower Student Leadership:** Allowing students to choreograph and lead fosters ownership and pride. Encourage upperclassmen to mentor younger teammates. Set Clear, Ambitious Goals:** The team's focus on reaching nationals gave everyone a shared purpose. Set specific, challenging goals to unite your group. Expert Insight "When you have younger people coming up behind you, it encourages more to join. Success breeds success."   — Discovering Grayslake Host 2. Fundraising: Building Community and Teaching Life Skills The Challenge High Costs:** Each dancer faces nearly $2,000 in expenses for the trip, not including food. Creative Fundraising:** The team organized bake sales, bingo nights, and participated in community events like the Grayslake tree lighting and skate nights. Lessons Learned Community Outreach:** Addy shared her experience going door-to-door on Center Street, learning valuable communication and fundraising skills. Gratitude and Generosity:** Parent Megan highlighted the overwhelming support from local businesses and residents. Actionable Advice Diversify Fundraising Efforts:** Don't rely on a single event. Mix traditional (bake sales) and experiential (bingo nights, community performances) fundraisers. Engage the Community:** Involve local businesses and make fundraising a team effort. Personal outreach (like going door-to-door) builds relationships and teaches responsibility. Express Gratitude:** Always thank donors and supporters publicly and privately. Gratitude strengthens community ties. Expert Insight "Fundraising isn't just about the money—it's about teaching responsibility, teamwork, and perseverance."   — Megan Willhite, Dance Team Parent 3. The Demands of Competition: Commitment and Time Management A Grueling Schedule Early Mornings and Long Days:** Practices start as early as 6:30 a.m., and competition days can last from dawn until mid-afternoon for a two-minute performance. Balancing Academics and Athletics:** Dancers juggle schoolwork, rehearsals, and competitions, often requesting extra practices to perfect routines. Actionable Advice Prioritize Time Management:** Use planners or digital calendars to balance school, dance, and personal time. Practice with Purpose:** Focus on quality over quantity in rehearsals. Set specific goals for each practice session. Support Each Other:** Encourage open communication about stress and workload. Peer support is crucial during busy seasons. Expert Insight "The season starts with spring auditions, continues through summer and fall, and peaks in winter. It's a marathon, not a sprint."   — Megan Willhite 4. The Value of the Experience: College, Confidence, and Lifelong Memories Looking Ahead College Opportunities:** Janai is heading to Cleary University on a dance scholarship. Ella is attending college clinics and reaching out to coaches, while Addy is keeping her options open. Resume Boost:** Competing at nationals can give dancers an edge in college applications and recruiting. Cherished Moments Team Camaraderie:** Addy values the time spent with seniors and the sense of family on the team. Milestone Memories:** Janai's last football game performance and Ella's pride in winning the spirit stick are highlights. Actionable Advice Document the Journey:** Encourage dancers to keep journals or photo albums. These memories will be cherished for years. Leverage Achievements:** Highlight national-level participation in college applications and interviews. Celebrate Every Win:** Take time to acknowledge both big and small victories throughout the season. Expert Insight "Soak it all in—it'll be over just like that. These are the moments you'll remember."   — Discovering Grayslake Host 5. Community Support: The Heartbeat of Small-Town Success How Grayslake Rallies Local Businesses and Residents:** Their generosity makes the trip possible. Home Competition:** The team will host over 20 schools at their home event, showcasing not just their talent but their organizational skills. Actionable Advice Invite the Community In:** Host open practices, invite local media, and make events family-friendly. Give Back:** Encourage dancers to volunteer or perform at community events as a thank you. Promote Random Acts of Kindness:** As the host signs off, he reminds listeners to spread kindness—an ethos that strengthens community bonds. Expert Insight "Get out there today and do one or two random acts of kindness. You never know what people are going through."   — Discovering Grayslake Host Key Takeaways for Dancers, Parents, and Community Leaders Success is a Team Effort:** From choreography to fundraising, everyone plays a role. Fundraising Builds More Than Budgets:** It teaches life skills and connects the team to the community. Hard Work Pays Off:** Early mornings and long days are worth it for the memories and opportunities created. Cherish the Journey:** The friendships, lessons, and experiences last long after the final performance. Community is Everything:** Local support turns dreams into reality. How You Can Support the Grayslake Central Varsity Dance Team Attend the Home Competition:** Sunday, February 18th at the Grayslake Central Fieldhouse. Donate Online:** Every dollar helps these dedicated dancers reach their goals. Spread the Word:** Share their story and encourage others to support youth arts in Grayslake. From the first eight-count to the final bow, the Grayslake Central Varsity Dance Team's journey is a testament to what can happen when passion, hard work, and community come together. Let's keep cheering them on—all the way to Orlando and beyond! Subscribe to "Discovering Grayslake" on Apple, Spotify, or YouTube to meet more inspiring members of our hometown.

Mexico's process for planning new gas pipelines is very top-down, with state-owned Cenagas and CFE playing key roles. But the buildout of pipelines there has been largely accomplished by private-sector companies that are now planning another round of projects that will spur more gas exports from the U.S.

In Mexico, state-owned players like Cenagas and CFE continue to play central roles in planning and underpinning the development of natural gas pipelines. At the same time, however, Mexico has leveraged the participation of a handful of private-sector companies that have built a significant share of the newer pipelines there.

Today I spoke with Lesley Nicole Braun to talk about her new book on Congo's dancers. Dance music plays a central role in the cultural, social, religious, and family lives of the people of the Democratic Republic of the Congo. Among the various genres popular in the capital city of Kinshasa, Congolese rumba occupies a special place and can be counted as one of the DRC's most well-known cultural exports. The public image of rumba was historically dominated by male bandleaders, singers, and musicians. However, with the introduction of the danseuse (professional concert dancer) in the late 1970s, the role of women as cultural, moral, and economic actors came into public prominence and helped further raise Congolese rumba's international profile. In Congo's Dancers: Women and Work in Kinshasa (U Wisconsin Press, 2023), Lesley Nicole Braun uses the prism of the Congolese danseuse to examine the politics of control and the ways in which notions of visibility, virtue, and socio-economic opportunity are interlinked in this urban African context. The work of the danseuse highlights the fact that public visibility is necessary to build the social networks required for economic independence, even as this visibility invites social opprobrium for women. The concert dancer therefore exemplifies many of the challenges that women face in Kinshasa as they navigate the public sphere, and she illustrates the gendered differences of local patronage politics that shape public morality. As an ethnographer, Braun had unusual access to the world she documents, having been invited to participate as a concert dancer herself. Dr. Suvi Rautio is an anthropologist of China.

Rating the Playoff Teams (One-And-Done, Dancers, Championship Caliber)-Packers-Texans 4. On a scale of 1-10 (1 being not likely at all, 10 being all but guaranteed), how possible is it that Maxx Crosby has played his final down as a Raider? 5. Truth or Exaggeration -The Saints have a HC/QB combo that they can rely on for the next five seasons or more-On Sunday night, John Harbaugh and Mike Tomlin will be coaching for job security beyond 2026 -Assuming the current draft order holds (and both Fernando Mendoza and Dante Moore declare), the Giants will trade the #2 overall pick to another QB-needy team -The Titans must hire another Vrabel-type program builder as head coach (Jesse Minter, Jeff Hafley) as long as they bring in a proven OC (Brian Daboll, Kevin Stefanski)-Bears DB's coach Al Harris will be the hottest DC candidate this cycle-The Bills will not win another AFC East title with Josh Allen unless they fire both Sean McDermott and Brandon Beane-Michael Penix, Jr. will permanently lose the Falcons starting QB job at some point next season -Malik Willis will be the starting QB for either the Steelers, Cardinals or Dolphins in 20266. Week 18 Game Picks-Lock of the Week (DKrom: Panthers over Bucs, Hal: Broncos over Chargers)-Upset Special (DKrom: Chargers over Broncos, Hal: Steelers over Ravens)-Seahawks at 49ers -Colts at Texans -Cowboys at Giants -Browns at Bengals -Saints at Falcons -Packers at Vikings -Titans at Jaguars -Cardinals at Rams -Chiefs at Raiders -Dolphins at Patriots -Commanders at Eagles -Lions at Bears-Jets at Bills7.

After we filmed the podcast - the media started reporting on all the cancellations at the Kennedy Center. We then got “friendly inquiries” from CNN and The Washington Post asking if we were cancelling. This is designed to intimidate us and our cast and crew. It's like the mafia expressing concern for that nice restaurant - it would be a shame if something happened to it. They want us to buckle under the pressure. We will NOT.Below is our statement on the cancellation attempt. The OCTOBER 7 play will absolutely be on stage on January 28th.Good riddance to these taxpayer-funded cosplaying rebels. They seem to think producing art is about them feeling comfortable and cozy. Artists should always go where they feel uncomfortable, even unwanted—if they want to change the world, that's where they should be, instead of speaking into their taxpayer-funded echo chamber.These performative walkouts are for their friends and funders—they don't care about the wider audience or creating new audiences. And they wonder why so many theaters are struggling?Even their friends are bored with the woke, clichéd, and hectoring art they are producing. "Doug Varone and Dancers," the New York dance company, said their walkout was "morally exhilarating."That's very telling.They create to make themselves feel better, not the audience.We create to bring the truth to the audience. Good to see these woke “artists” leave the stage. It leaves more stage time for the rest of us who want to produce genuine art.We are already thinking about future events at the Kennedy Center.Phelim McAleer & Ann McElhinneyJust to remind everyone about what we are planning for the Kennedy Center.We are taking OCTOBER 7, our verbatim play, to the venue on January 28. The play will be in the beautiful Terrace Theater. We went to Israel after the October 7 massacres and interviewed survivors, the bereaved and heroes who fought back. We turned their testimony into the play that has been performed across the country from Off-Broadway in New York to the UCLA campus in Los Angeles. It has also been performed on several other college campuses - places that really need to hear the truth. The performance at the Kennedy Center will be intimate, raw, and unforgettable. Please watch the podcast to hear the full story - you can also get tickets at the link below. I really want to see you there. The New York Post said OCTOBER 7 was "Spellbinding..powerful and a sanctuary for truth. It breathes life into characters that will hopefully inspire people…When you can put yourself in the shoes of what these people went through, that's what creates empathy. That's very important ... right now in this country, regardless of your politics." So please come see the play. If you can't come to DC you can donate to fight the bullies and censors at the link below. And while the mainstream media is obsessing over the fake genocide in Gaza, 7,000 Christians were slaughtered by Islamist radicals in Nigeria in the first eight months of this year. However the mainstream media is pretending that they are being killed in a land war caused by climate change. This week we interviewed Brian Orme, the CEO of Global Christian Relief. He has been to Nigeria and has a team working to aid displaced, persecuted Christians, terrorized by radical muslims.Watch the scoop to hear what's really going on!And the Los Angeles Times shocked us, as they actually did their jobs and reported actual news on the true cause of the deadly Palisades fire and how the city administration tried to cover it up. Watch the scoop to see our coverage of the Palisades wreckage.    

Looking polished and confident in your dancing isn't always about doing more — often, it's about small the details. In this fan-favorite episode from the After Class archives, we're revisiting three small but powerful elements that can instantly elevate how you look and feel as an adult ballet dancer: hands, eyes, and head placement.We break down the subtle choices that make a big difference — from properly extending your fingers, to activating your eye line, to holding your head with intention — details teachers don't always have time to explain fully in class.Whether you're dancing at home or in the studio, these simple refinements can dramatically improve your lines, presence, and confidence. If you're listening again or tuning in for the first time, I hope this episode helps you dance with more clarity and ease. Let's get into it!

Oliver Till, Artistic Director of Kansas City Ballet School, walks us through ChoreoLab, their unique summer program that pairs aspiring dancers with emerging choreographers. The program runs two tracks: Movers (dancers 17+) and Makers (choreographers 18-24). Instead of traditional technique classes, participants collaborate on original work, learning about lighting, costume design, and tech rehearsals along the way. The focus is on the creative process, not just the final product, with dancers exploring new movement styles they wouldn't encounter in standard training. Oliver explains the application process, including in-person auditions for dancers and portfolio-based selection for choreographers. He discusses why the program culminates in a ticketed performance to raise the stakes, and how they've incorporated mindfulness sessions to support mental well-being during the intensive creative process. If you're interested in choreography, want to understand how professional work gets made, or are looking for a summer program that goes beyond technique, this episode breaks down what makes ChoreoLab different.

The Maker track is for aspiring choreographers aged 18 to 24. The program emphasizes collaboration between dancers and choreographers. Participants learn about lighting, costume design, and tech rehearsals. The focus is on the process of creation rather than just the final product. Dancers are encouraged to explore new movement styles and techniques. The application process includes in-person auditions for movers. Makers are selected based on their choreographic ideas and experience. The culmination performance is a ticketed event to enhance accountability. Mindfulness sessions are introduced to support dancers' mental well-being.  

In a small town in northern Ohio, a group of Mexican folk dancers will process through the streets on Saturday. They're celebrating the Feast of Our Lady of Guadalupe.

A recording capturing the energised nature of Cape Town, complicated by the historic struggles that have defined the country. This was an autumn day, blue skies and bright sunshine. This was during my first trip to South Africa, where I had started visiting to uncover information about my South African family and dad, who died when I was very young. Recorded by Daniel Mackenzie.

Welcome back to another edition of "This Weekend in White Supremacy," where we dissect the multifaceted and often harsh realities of modern America.As black individuals and immigrants in America, the group discusses feeling the chilling effects of living within a system entrenched in white supremacy. Much of the discussion centers around the enigmatic and controversial figure of former President Donald Trump; reflecting on his statements and their implications for communities of color, particularly Somali-Americans. This includes his recent "garbage" criticisms of Congresswoman Ilhan Omar, which sparked significant discontent and fear among Minnesota's immigrant communities. Miracle passionately emphasizes the importance of supporting the Somali community and other marginalized communities in the face of hateful rhetoric. As a country, the responsibility falls on all of us to dismantle systems that create refugees and to embrace those seeking safety and a better life.And then there is the pervasive theme of affordability—once ironically deemed a “Democratic hoax” by Trump, despite his original (now flip-flopping) campaign promises. The cost of living, from the price of groceries to housing, continues to soar, exacerbating the struggles of regular Americans who yell tales of grocery bills that break the bank while the weakest links, Democrat leaders, Chuck Schumer and Hakeem Jeffries fail to tackle the issues facing the working class and impoverished communities. This Week In White Supremacy continues to provide a platform for insightful and critical discussions, balancing humor, and seriousness to tackle pertinent cultural and political issues. 1HOOD's vibrant conversations serve to enlighten and engage audiences, encouraging broader awareness and action against injustice.

In this episode of HSS Presents, Dr. Melody Hrubes, the medical director of the HSS Performing Arts Collaborative, speaks with physical therapist Allison McKay about specialized assessment and treatment for dancers. They utilize DARI (Dynamic Athlete Research Institute), a marker-free 3D motion capture analysis, to assess strength and movement patterns in functional and dance-specific movements. Other specialized tools include force plates for measuring even weight-bearing during jumps and the Kinvent dynamometer for objective strength assessments like the hamstring-to-quadriceps ratio. The episode highlights injury prevention, the value of cross-training (like Pilates), and specialized concussion goggles to guide return-to-turn and dance after injury.

In this inspiring conversation, I'm joined by Robert Schultz - LA-based dancer, choreographer, educator, and founder of Artists in Training - to explore how dancers can build a thriving career in today's ever-changing industry.Together, we dig into how class culture has shifted in the age of social media, why dancers crave instant gratification, and the impact that “getting it on film” has had on training. Robert also breaks down how Artists Training was created to bring connection, consistency, and deeper purpose back to the convention model - helping dancers not just improve their technique, but understand who they are as humans and artists.This episode is full of honesty, humor, and powerful reminders about staying grounded, trusting your path, and never giving yourself an expiration date.Key Points in this Episode: Robert's early dance beginnings and how his first teacher recognized his natural talent The differences between the NYC and LA dance scene Why proper warmup, longevity, and technique still matter (and why he refuses to shorten class!) Professionalism on set: respect, communication, and the behaviors that get dancers rehired The creation of Artists Training and how it blends convention energy with mentorship and mindset work Studio culture: competition vs. community and the power of genuine support Why dancers shouldn't give themselves an “expiration date” when pursuing a professional careerConnect with Robert:INSTAGRAM: instagram.com/moveyoutoinspireAIT INSTAGRAM: instagram.com/artistsintrainingWEBSITE: www.aitdance.comLinks and Resources:Visit the Ballet Help Desk: https://ballethelpdesk.com/Get your copy of The Intentional Career HandbookLet's connect!My WEBSITE: thebrainyballerina.comINSTAGRAM: instagram.com/thebrainyballerina1-1 CAREER MENTORING: book your complimentary career callQuestions/comments?

In this special, uncensored episode, we step inside the world of the German National Youth Ballet, the BJB, an extraordinary ensemble comprised of nine professional dancers between the ages of 18 and 23, trained in both classical ballet and modern techniques. One of the very special features of the BJB is that they perform not only on professional stages, but everywhere dance can forge a connection - in schools, museums, nursing homes, swimming pools, and even prisons. Their work demonstrates that dance speaks across generations, backgrounds, and life experiences, creating unity through shared artistic encounter. This episode, made possible by the generous support of the Charlotte Uhse Stiftung, offers a candid look into the power of communication and collaboration at the heart of the BJB. It begins with a spirited conversation with Artistic and Pedagogical Director Kevin Haigen, one that starts with a small disagreement and unfolds into a passionate, thought-provoking exchange. It includes  contributions from all nine dancers of the BJB, who answer questions from young amateur dancers from Kansas City. And it concludes with Ballet Master Raymond Hilbert's reflections on connecting with audiences, the question of how a dance style is understood, and some of the most sensitive issues faced by the dance world. This episode promises to give you intimate insight into the philosophy, purpose, and daily reality of this remarkable ensemble. Thank you Kevin Haigen, Raymond Hilbert, Bronte Barnett, Eleftherios Sarafis, Hannah McCloughan, Miguel Alves Oliveira, Oskar Weissel-Hetzel, Taissa Pache Pimentel, Kohanna Williams, Javier Martinez, and Zofia Jabłońska for the interviews. bundesjugendballett.de cultureum.com

Before you listen, please consider taking our podcast survey to help us improve what we do:  https://forms.gle/mwTPzuHu1Nmdf9CeA Katie Sopoci Drake and Zoica Tovar from the Washington School of Ballet break down their Junior and Senior Repertory Week programs in this episode. The two programs serve different levels of dancers, and our guests explain how each one works and what participants can expect. They discuss the school's teaching methods, how they work with different learning styles, and what it takes to move from student training to professional dancing. The conversation covers mentorship structures, choreography opportunities for participants, and performance requirements at each level. Katie and Zoica also share what traits they look for in successful dancers and how artistic director Edwaard Liang's involvement shapes the training experience. If you're researching summer intensives or want to understand how pre-professional ballet training works, this episode provides a practical look at what happens during these programs and why the school structures them the way they do. Learn more about The Washington School of Ballet's Summer Programs here: https://www.washingtonballet.org/nw-summer-intensives/ Takeaways: The Junior Repertory Experience is designed for aspiring dancers aged 12-17. The Senior Repertory Experience mirrors a company training week for dancers aged 15-22. Both programs culminate in a performance for family and friends. Edwaard Liang's involvement enhances the quality of training and choreography. Dancers learn to adapt quickly to different styles and choreographers. The programs focus on building stamina, artistry, and technical skills. Students are encouraged to ask questions about their future careers. Choreography and composition classes are integral to the training. The audition process is open to video submissions. The programs aim to develop well-rounded artists, not just professional dancers.

In this episode, Megan Kerrigan and Annabelle dive into the connection between enjoyment and progress in Irish dance. They chat about how, when the fun starts to fade, dancers often find themselves making more mistakes, losing focus, and feeling mentally drained, not because they aren't capable, but because they're exhausted. Together, they explore why enjoyment is such an important part of learning, how pressure can quietly build over time, and why taking small mental breaks can make a huge difference.

The lively Q&A hits trends, triple-threat training, youth work, self-tapes vs. in-person calls, and why persistence, professionalism, and clear goals separate dancers who book “the big jobs.”Shownotes:(0:00) – Welcome & intro to MSA and Bre's NYC leadership (11:28) – Bre's journey: dancer to MSA Talent Director(20:24) – Inside MSA NYC: Broadway, tours, TV, and more (24:53) – How dancers get signed and scouted by agents (28:14) – Social media tips: Instagram presence that books work (32:23) – Onboarding goals: materials, availability, and communication(35:56) – NYC vs LA markets: knowing where you belong (39:10) – Professionalism tips: biggest audition and booking don'ts(44:10) – How agents scout in class and online presence matters (51:12) – Q&A takeaways: training, self-tapes, visas, and persistenceBiography:Bre Traver joined McDonald Selznick Associates East Coast division in 2007.

In Episode 89, we're back with our 5 Fun Things series! After a very busy stretch at Rhythm and Confetti, we're excited to reconnect and share what we've been up to. Here are 5 Fun Fall Festivities we've been up to at Rhythm since our last episode!1. Year-End Show Reveal Our annual Reveal continues to be one of the most anticipated events of the entire season. With a large graduating class and a need for lots of character opportunities, we built four days of clues leading up to the announcement. The reveal of The Greatest Rhythm Show: A Sparktacular Circus Spectacle—our circus-inspired spin on The Greatest Showman—generated huge buzz in the studio and online. Immediately afterward, we decorated our Fun Wall with themed banners and balloons, which became a favorite photo spot throughout the fall.2. Fun at the Fair with Senior Edge Company To celebrate the new show theme and give our seniors a night out, we headed to the North Georgia State Fair. The dancers arrived in Circus-inspired looks (with grads dressed as their individual show characters), and the bright fairgrounds provided the perfect backdrop for fun and colorful photos we'll use throughout the season. We created a scavenger hunt, divided them into teams, and sent them off to complete creative tasks—from snapping cotton candy pics to teaching dance moves to strangers. At the end of the night, dancers filled out a form with personalized compliments for each teammate. We compiled the messages into keepsake prints featuring a photo and all the notes from their peers.3. Year-End Show Retreat Our annual retreat remains a cornerstone of our season. We rented a peaceful Airbnb south of Atlanta to focus on planning the entire show—concepts, music, edits, costumes, costume orders, emails, dress rehearsal schedules, and more. The setting allowed for fresh air, walks, porch time, and the kind of creative space that makes the workload manageable. It was packed with productivity, but also with fun, food, and a little college football in the background.4. Halloweek at Rhythm Halloweek is always a fall favorite. Dancers dress up all week long, and our faculty goes all-in with coordinated costumes for a themed photo and video shoot scheduled during a staff meeting. This year, even with a circus theme in play, K-Pop Demon Hunter–inspired costumes absolutely dominated. Our adult classes also delivered full-out, spooky, highly produced videos with elaborate staging and costumes. Their commitment grows every year and the results are always a highlight!5. Raise the Roof and Hammer Out Hunger With construction still underway on our new studios, we leaned into a building theme for our fall community outreach. We launched a food drive benefiting MUST Ministries, and our Rhythm families responded with incredible generosity. A friendly competition between companies added extra excitement, with the winning group earning a pizza party. Next month we'll shift from food to warm clothing, collecting coats and winter wear for local schools. We always look forward to giving back to our community! That's our fall recap. If you'd like us to dive deeper into any of these topics, reach out by DM or email. And be sure to join us next time—we're heading into Camp Confetti reveal season, and we can't wait to share what's coming for summer!Let's Get Social!

Part 1? Starting around 1300 BCE, the (surviving) corpus of written documents from Egypt begins to increase dramatically. It's not clear why, but papyrus and ostraca are far more abundant for this era than anything before. Thanks to these records, we get many glimpses of daily life and personal concerns, from the society of the time; and we can enjoy some Small Stories of life in Ramessid Egypt.
