EP. 33: Dancing With Grief: Healing Through Movement, Loss & Presence with Natalie Caruncho
from Life and Love by Design · host Odette Coronel
Grief came very quickly for this week’s guest. Natalie’s mother was suddenly diagnosed with stage four cancer and passed away earlier than anyone would have expected her to. Natalie, as a grieving daughter, is not only holding space for this grief and healing from it, but also allowing it to create space for more compassion and more dancing in her life. Natalie Caruncho is a Broadway performer, an associate choreographer, and a Yoga teacher, originally from Miami, FL. Currently based in Brooklyn, NY. She grew up dancing and has had the privilege of working on some beautiful stages. She currently performs on Broadway in Buena Vista Social Club and as Associate Choreographer for Moulin Rouge. Favorite performance credits include: On Your Feet (Original Broadway Company), In The Heights 1st National Tour (Ensemble; u/s Nina, Vanessa, Carla), Romeo & Juliet (Juliet), A Chorus Line (Diana Morales). Natalie is also a 700-hour registered Yoga Teacher and teaches in NYC at SkyTing. She writes a monthly essay on Substack and posts about grief and presence on IG @nataliecaruncho. In this week’s episode, we’re talking about how Natalie is dancing with grief. By healing through movement, loss, and presence, Natalie has been able to continue her life while still honoring her mom. This kind of grief can rock anyone’s world, so I wanted to take a moment to explore these feelings of loss, love, and compassion with a loved one. Tune in to hear how Natalie is honoring her mom through dance and how you can keep going after a loved one has passed.
