Hi, I’m Melina Saintil and I am finishing off my 4th year in the dance program at TMU. I am months away from entering the professional dance industry, and I can’t seem to shake the feeling that I am not ready. I wanted to create this podcast to have the chance to have conversations with artists from every age and from all fields hoping that it would help others and myself make the transition into the industry easier. Let me know if you have suggestions about guests you would want me to interview or even questions you want answers to! :)
