from Rhinestones and Rants · host Alyssa Better

What does it really take to raise a boy in the world of competitive dance? In this raw, heartfelt, and unfiltered episode, we sit down with Scott and JoAnne Morales — the powerhouse parents behind dance sensation Gavin Morales. From 6-hour round trips for 5-minute auditions to navigating a world not built for boys in ballet shoes, the Morales family’s journey is one of grit, sacrifice, and unconditional love. Scott opens up about his transformation from sports-loving dad to full-on dance supporter, while JoAnne shares what it means to be the rock, the chauffeur, and the heart of a dance family — all while crushing it as an accomplished attorney and businesswoman. 💥 Expect truth. Expect tears.
