Dance is more than just a performance; it’s healthy living, coaching, talking to industry professionals, and getting advice through great podcasts.

Dancers around the world collectively felt at a loss when theatres and studios closed due to COVID-19. Their practices and way of life got turned upside down. For many, this took the form of shows streamed online and classes moving to livestreams on Zoom—but it didn’t stop there. Dancers have also waded deeper into the world of filmmaking and podcasts. Like with almost every other industry throughout the pandemic, podcasts have become an invaluable resource for dancers. From shows about healthy lifestyles to shows that talk with industry professionals on inspiring artists across all career levels, there is a podcast for everyone. The curators of these podcasts have found a new outlet for their creativity while broadcasting to new and potential audiences across multiple platforms. In some ways, the dance world has never been more connected. Here is a breakdown of some of the best and most interesting podcasts on the scene. Take the time to listen to the podcast that best suits your life—who knows, they just might provide the advice you have been craving as you navigate the next phase of your artistic endeavours. A little inspiration from a fellow creative can go a long way.
