Dancer's Circle

The relaunch of Dancer's Circle podcast could not have started better!  This episode I got to talk to the gorgeous Lauren Turner, an Aussie dancer from the Moulin Rouge and not only! With Showgirl Experience throughout Paris and Germany, as well as the stages of Australia and the stages out at sea, Lauren knows a thing or two about what it takes, and what it means, to be a working professiona...

What a beautiful,  powerful human. What a talented, epic dancer.  There is so much in this episode, I am not even sure where to start.  But I will try.  If your soul says HELLO to things like following your dancer dreams , like random spontaneous exploring , like living in awe and gratitude and standing in presence, like wholehearted living embracing the highs and lows and everything in between, l...

All things Showgirl!!!  From a truly amazing Australian Showgirl with stories of international Showgirling and what it has meant for her.  She shares her stories of seeing the world, of cruising, of Paris theatre and of not taking no for an answer from Janet. AKA never giving up on a dream! We talk transitions, training, live theatre and the many lessons to learn at every stage of a professional d...

It isn't every dancer's story to get to their mid 40's and still be working as an Entertainer.  But it IS Hayley's. This is the Episode to drop in on if you want a refreshingly real chat from a professional dancer/aerialist/contortionist/acrobat/showgirl and everything in between with a career going on for 25 years and no sign of stopping.  From the UK, this travelling, dancing...

 Oo la la here we are with the girls of the Moulin Rouge!!! BUT we don't talk only red feathers and rhinestones.... although it was tempting. We went to the real deal. We spoke about dance training and growing up in a ballet culture where perfection is the goal, and how damaging that can be for many young dancers. We talk about how the idea that "once we get there" everything will f...

Bree reminds me of Little Miss Sunshine from the Mr. Men series! She is GOLDEN.  A background in Cruise ships, solid training out of Sydney and living in Brisbane Australia, she is a fierce dancer who has a long and strong career ahead of her.  This conversation was light filled and highlights some really helpful ways that a human and a human dancer can navigate rougher seas from a more empowered...

Well if you like all things Showgirl, red feathers and diamonds then this episode is one for you to drop into. I lurrrrrved it. We talk full time training, we talk first contracts national and abroad, we talk being human first, dancer second. Surprise, surprise ;) Katrina, as a young Australian dancer who up until earlier this year was working at the Moulin Rouge in Paris (and in a matter of a few...

Not really, but almost. Listen to the episode and you will understand the episode title.  What a fun conversation full of feathers, backstage vibes at the Pink Flamingo on the Gold Coast Australia, laughter, classic show biz shenanigans, and hand over mouth moments.  We talk all things Event's Entertainment from 3 Australian mission driven entertainment providers and the latest debacle surrou...

Ok this episode has it all including a rabbit, a mime act, deep house yoga, roller skates, laughing, talking about the "olden days" (of which my gorgeous girl Scarlett placed me in hahaha) and why when it all comes down to it, being healthy and whole, and in JOY, is really the key to it all.  Social media is chatted about, the good and the bad. Scarlett shares her experience with this pl...

Wow. What can I say? We finished this conversation and had no idea what we had spoken about. What showed up clearly needed to show up.  There is a whole lot of cheek in this keeping it fun, naughty and oh so real. Sounds much like our old backstage talk and smut so enjoy that dancers;) But on a serious note, we do go deep on Cruise Ship life, as well as the structures, meanings and access that thi...

What a beautiful, flowing, value packed, full of gold and silver and everything in between conversation with Karina. I simply can not acknowledge all the goodness! If you love Musical Theatre, are IN Musical Theatre or wish to make it a career path, this is the episode for you. If you are inspired and touched by notions such as we are all Earth Humans, borrowing things and time and even our own ex...

Erikka was born to be a showgirl! Literally her glorious height and legs for days have gifted her a wonderful vessel to embark on her Showgirl career with, and embark on that she most certainly has.  In this episode we get all Showgirl crazy on the Crazy Horse Paris together, so much so I feel we should start up an unofficial Crazy Horse fan crushing club!  We celebrate the artistic seduction and...

This conversation is all about being brave, being vulnerable, being real and being rooted in a mission of helping others in their walk out of the darkness and into eating disorder recovery. We talk about Ellen's journey through what she describes as an illness that provoked her to feel the worst pain she has ever felt and what some of the triggers and catalysts were that fed into her illness...

What a beautifully rich first chat with the young, light filled Amber direct from cruising the Caribbean during the Covid outbreak. We spoke all things feathers and first contract feels, including taking 3 steps back to pre professional training and showing the necessary grit a dancer needs to establish herself in the industry. Some shiny gold thread throughout this share, touching on the importan...
