  5 Reasons to Take a Dance Class in 2024    

Home of the Two Left Feet Podcast!

My goal is to give a voice to amazing performance dancer's and instructors.

A lot of times we only see them perform.

But they have so much more than that to offer !

Performs and instructors have a voice, a story, and experience. They have tips/hints. Value to give to people outside of their amazing choreography.

I just want to facilitate spreading their voice/story via podcast.
