Bronson Arrivillaga is only 10 years old, but he already knows what it means to take up space.   He has performed in the Super Bowl halftime show with Bad Bunny, landed a role on The Pitt, and competed on stages where confidence is not optional. Yet what stands out most about Bronson is not the size of the opportunity. It is the way he talks about dance as a form of storytelling, self-expression, and connection.   In this episode of Dance Dad, host John Corella sits down with Bronson and his mom, Katlyn, for a conversation about what it means to be a boy in dance, especially a boy who refuses to shrink himself to make other people comfortable.   Bronson also talks about the harder parts. Dance moms bullying, negative online comments targeting his videos, and being questioned just for showing up as himself. His response every time is to walk back to his people and keep going.   From wearing Tiger Friday with zero apology to competing in multiple group dances and solos this season, Bronson is clear about one thing. Anything you do should make you feel happy and powerful. Katlyn's steadiness as a parent runs through the whole conversation and makes it clear why Bronson moves through the world the way he does.   His dreams are already becoming his life. He is playing characters on network TV, performing on the biggest stages in the world, and he is just getting started.   Episode Breakdown: 00:00 Meet Bronson Arrivillaga: Boy Dancer Inspiration Behind the Super Bowl Halftime Show 03:15 Finding Happiness and Purpose Through Dance 07:09 Why the Family Moved From Indiana to LA to Chase His Dreams 09:55 What It Was Really Like Performing the Super Bowl With Bad Bunny 12:57 Behind the Scenes Secrets From the Bad Bunny Halftime Show 16:57 What Bronson Loves Most About Dance and Competing 23:31 The Story He Most Wants to Tell Through Dance 27:26 How Bronson Shows Adults What It Means to Be Yourself 28:38 Dealing With Dance Moms Bullying and Online Hate 34:15 Feeling Safe at Dance Conventions as a Boy Who Dances 39:30 Why Bronson Loves Acting Just as Much as Dance 40:37 Playing Patient Ben Baker on The Pitt 48:28 Competing to Prince and Wednesday This Season 50:45 Favorite Choreographers, Dancers, and Dance Movies 55:40 The Boldest Things Bronson and Katlyn Have Ever Done Connect with Bronson Arrivillaga: Follow Bronson on Instagram    Connect with John Corella: Follow Dance Dad with John Corella on Instagram Follow John on Instagram Join Dance Dad with John Corella on Patreon Visit John Corella's website Podcast production and show notes provided by HiveCast.fm

Art is the expression of the soul," Xiaoming replied with confidence.Zh: 小明手里握着一只珍贵的茶杯，准备开始他的表演。En: Holding a precious teacup in his hand, Xiaoming prepared to start his performance.Zh: 茶馆的顾客们停止了交谈，把目光投向舞台中央。En: The teahouse guests stopped talking and turned their gaze towards the center of the stage.Zh: 小明深吸了一口气，开始随着音乐舞动。En: Xiaoming took a deep breath and began to dance to the music.Zh: 起初，小明的动作还算流畅。En: At first, Xiaoming's movements were smooth.Zh: Li紧张地盯着他，而Chen则端起他的茶杯，看上去并不太在意。En: Li watched nervously, while Chen lifted his teacup, seemingly indifferent.Zh: 随着小明的舞步越来越复杂，茶杯在他的手中摇摇欲坠。En: As Xiaoming's dance steps became more complex, the teacup in his hand wobbled precariously.Zh: 顾客们屏住呼吸，注视着这场特别的表演。En: The guests held their breath, watching this special performance.Zh: 终于，到了最紧张的时刻，小明尝试一个旋转的动作。En: Finally, at the most tense moment, Xiaoming attempted a spinning move.Zh: 手中的茶杯晃动起来，几乎要掉落。En: The teacup swayed almost to the point of falling.Zh: 全场一片惊呼，Li心跳加速，忍不住捂住了眼睛。En: The audience gasped, Li's heart raced, and he couldn't help but cover his eyes.Zh: 在最后一刻，小明奇迹般地稳定住了茶杯。En: At the very last moment, Xiaoming miraculously stabilized the teacup.Zh: 虽然跌坐在地，但杯中一滴茶水也没有洒出。En: Although he ended up sitting on the floor, not a single drop of tea was spilled.Zh: 茶馆里爆发出一阵掌声。En: Applause erupted in the teahouse.Zh: Li松了一口气，快步走到小明身边查看他的情况。En: Li breathed a sigh of relief and quickly went to check on Xiaoming.Zh: Chen放下茶杯，微微点了点头，对小明说：“大胆的尝试。En: Chen put down his teacup, nodded slightly, and said to Xiaoming, "A bold attempt.Zh: 不过，下次试试看多练习，可能会更好。”En: However, maybe try practicing more next time; it could be even better."Zh: 小明结结巴巴地笑了，En: Xiaoming laughed awkwardly.Zh: 虽然有些狼狈，但心中充满成就感。En: Although a little embarrassed, he felt a sense of achievement.Zh: 他意识到，除了创意，他还需要更多的练习。En: He realized that aside from creativity, he also needed more practice.Zh: 小明向Chen和Li表示感谢，然后看着茶馆里的其他顾客，心里暗自决定下次要表演得更好。En: Xiaoming thanked Chen and Li, then looked at the other teahouse guests, silently deciding to perform better next time.Zh: 于是，在这个春天的下午，小明学到了关于艺术和努力的新东西，而Chen也开始欣赏年轻人的热情和敢于冒险的精神。En: Thus, on this spring afternoon, Xiaoming learned something new about art and effort, and Chen started to appreciate the passion and adventurous spirit of the young man.Zh: 茶馆的气氛再度恢复宁静，但人们的心中仿佛留下了一抹春日的温暖和期待。En: The teahouse atmosphere returned to peace, but it seemed a touch of spring warmth and anticipation lingered in people's hearts.

Dr. Rosy Boa interviews exercise scientist and belly dance (Raqs Sharqi) teacher Siobhan Camille (MSc in Rehabilitation Science) about applying exercise science to dance and pole. Siobhan shares her path from New Zealand athlete to researcher and strength and conditioning coach, including belly dance injury research, hospital-based rehab work, and her current role with Dutch elite and Olympic sport. They discuss how early research in “fringe” activities often focuses on injury rates before performance optimization, and emphasize that rehab and return-to-sport/pole rely on principles tailored to the individual and their demands. Siobhan critiques common “prehab” trends that underload the body, argues that appropriate joint stress builds resilience, and highlights injury's multifactorial nature. They also cover consistency over optimization, motor learning cues, accessibility in classes, and misconceptions about “perfect posture” and pelvic tilt.Are you a pole nerd interested in trying out online pole classes with Slink Through Strength?

Annabelle takes the reins as host to talk directly to dance parents about what to say and do to boost their dancer's confidence. Chapters: Confidence comes from support at home, not talent or results. Pressure and support look similar but land very differently. What a dancer hears isn't always what a parent means. How you frame mistakes decides if they bounce back or spiral. Watch out for over-coaching and focusing too much on results.

Paul Malek has built a lot of things. A pre-professional dance training centre. A production company. A media company. A 180-seat theatre. A movement for fair dancer pay that went global. And through all of it, one question has driven him: what does it actually take to create sustainable artists in a world that keeps changing? In this Spotlight Series episode, Loren sits down with Paul Malek, Director, Choreographer, Educator, and founder of Transit Dance in Melbourne, Australia. Paul talks about why being a great dancer is no longer enough, what it means to train artists who can build careers that last, and why curiosity might be the most important skill a dancer can develop. He also gets into the mental health side of the arts, his three guides for living and teaching, and what he wishes more dance teachers understood about the human being standing in front of them. If you're a studio owner, a teacher, or someone building something in this industry, this one is for you. A full transcription of the podcast is here: https://www.acrobaticarts.com/blog/ep-135-building-a-dance-business-with-purpose-with-paul-malek About Paul Paul Malek is a renowned Director, Choreographer, and Educator whose influence extends across theatre and stage in Australia and across the globe.

In episode 225, Kara Tatelbaum (author of Putting My Heels Down, critically acclaimed choreographer, renowned Pilates teacher, and dance educator) shares an honest look at what it means to continue building a meaningful life in dance when things don't go according to plan. This conversation explores how dancers can navigate rejection, injury, burnout, financial reality, and evolving identity without losing their connection to movement or themselves. Kara opens up about growing up with physical limitations that teachers constantly criticized, making peace with a career trajectory that looked different than expected, and eventually finding fulfillment in places she never anticipated, including teaching preschool dance after years in higher education, choreography, Pilates, and the professional dance world. Galit and Kara also discuss the difference between being an instructor versus an educator, balancing artistry with survival jobs, the pressure dancers place on themselves to “make it,” and why stories from non-famous dancers still matter. This episode offers perspective for dancers trying to create sustainable careers, expand their definition of success, and feel less isolated in the realities that so many people in the dance world quietly experience.

For centuries, the people of the British Isles marked the beginning of summer not on the solstice, in June, but on May 1st. It’s a cross-quarter day, which comes about half way between a solstice and an equinox. In Scotland and Ireland, the date was known as Beltane. People built bonfires to celebrate the longer days, and held rituals to protect their crops and livestock. And in England, the date became known as May Day. People celebrated with village fetes, and they danced around the maypole. Dancers grabbed ribbons attached to the top of the pole, then circled around it, getting closer with each circuit. Especially tall maypoles were erected in an area of London known as the Strand. The last of these poles was removed 300 years ago. But it found a new life – supporting one of the world’s largest telescopes. The maypole was acquired by Isaac Newton, who had formulated laws of gravity and motion. In April of 1718, he had the pole moved to a park outside London for use by James Pound, an astronomer and clergyman. Pound had the use of a large lens created by another astronomer. The telescope was created by mounting the lens on the maypole. The eyepiece was on the ground, linked to the lens by a long wire. With that telescope, Pound measured the positions of the moons of Jupiter and Saturn. Newton used those observations to calculate the moons’ orbits – measuring a celestial dance around the maypole.
