#18 Thomas Marek

Tap dancer, performer, choreographer, and teacher Thomas Marek joins the podcast to discuss his artistic path and the discovery of new forms of expression and storytelling that tie in with tap's origins. We talk about the fundamentals and joy of improvising, how not to let your mind hold you back, and to make your dancing "your own". Thomas explains his approach to coaching, the transition to teaching more empoweringly, and tools for practicing. This Podcast series is part of the ⁠Swinging Europe⁠ project, which is co-funded by the⁠ Creative Europe Programme⁠ of the European Commission. Thomas website: https://www.thomasmarek.com/
