Finding your place

In our very first episode, we have a more introspective and reflective conversation about our own dance journeys and the challenges of finding our places in the dance world. Deborah shares the story of how she got into West Coast Swing, her quick rise to success, and the difficulties of being a female dance professional both in and out of a partnership. Eric tells the story of his early days, why dance can be hard for him, and how he found his place in the community. Along the way, they share anecdotes, wax nostalgic about people who have influenced them, and reveal insights about the importance of learning and knowing yourself. (And stick around for some fun at the very end, after the episode!)
