The Casual Dance Teacher"s Podcast

This is the podcast for us dance teachers balancing our teaching job with other jobs, commitments, and just life in general! We don"t need to know how to run the whole studio, work with students 20+ hours a week, or win big at competitions; we just want practical advice and real conversations about how to be the best dance teachers we can be with the little time we have with our students.
