À propos de ce contenu audio

 What age is too late to start dancing? How do I return to dance after years off? What can I do to stay motivated as a dancer? How can I enjoy the process of being a beginner? Is it too late to do what I love? The Decision to Dance Podcast highlights dancers from around the globe, who have asked themselves these same questions. We discuss the challenges they have faced and how these dancers have redefined success within the world of dance. We learn what tools they utilized and the inner-dialogue they have developed to steer past doubts and gain momentum toward their goals. More importantly, we become familiar with the human behind the dancer and gain insight as to why these individuals choose to dance as hobbyists and professionals. Within each of their unique stories, we sense the similarities between one another, which give our listeners comfort and encouragement to continue in their own process. With thought provoking questions and honest conversations, this show will have you look inward and remind you why you choose to dance. Whether it's dancing in the kitchen, behind a camera, in class, or on stage, you'll have a better understanding of the value dance brings into your own life and the impact it can make on yourself and those around you. Listening to The Decision to Dance Podcast is like grabbing coffee with a friend and realizing that someone else "gets it." If you are new to dance, have danced your entire life, or took a hiatus and are making a comeback, this show is for you.

    • Lynley Mackay: Take Advantage of the Time That You Have

      Lynley Mackay: Take Advantage of the Time That You Have
      Feb 13 2026

      This podcast episode features Lynley Mackay, a 63-year-old lawyer from Sydney, Australia, who discovered dance in her late 40's. Overcoming the challenges of starting dance for the first time, she persisted and became completely addicted once she experienced the magic of choreography and music becoming one. Lynley emphasizes that dance has become her "soul food" and is a mental health practice, which helps her process the emotional weight of her legal work. She advocates strongly against age-related self-defeat, having started circus arts in her mid-50's, and believes being a beginner keeps you mentally young and builds brain plasticity. Throughout the conversation, she shares practical advice about starting dance through online classes, the importance of yoga for injury prevention, and shares how dance has helped her achieve a sense of peace within herself after many years of searching for it.

    • Being the worst dancer in class...

      Being the worst dancer in class...
      Feb 6 2026

      Priscilla discusses why she embraces being the worst dancer in the room, emphasizing that her love for dance and the learning process outweighs the discomfort of being less skilled than other dancers. She challenges listeners to examine whether their self-worth is too dependent on external validation in comparison to other dancers. Priscilla encourages dancers to view being the least experienced person in any setting—whether in dance class, at work, or in life—as an exciting opportunity for growth rather than a source of shame and embarrassment.
