Customer Reviews
Great Poddy P!
Clay does a great job making this podcast about dance and dance life exciting and compelling. It’s one thing to watch dancers choreograph or dance, it’s a whole other to hear the intricacies of their thought processes both about dance and how dance has impacted their day-to-day lives. 5 stars!
