In this inspiring episode of the Dance Yourself Brave Show, we sit down with Ian Howe, a passionate and dynamic dance educator, choreographer, and studio owner based in Seattle. Ian shares how his love for dance was sparked by watching Savion Glover tap dance on Sesame Street, and how that early inspiration led to a lifelong career in the dance world.
Ian opens up about his experiences as a male dancer, navigating cultural expectations, and breaking stereotypes in both competitive and commercial dance. He dives into the importance of using dance to teach life skills, build self-confidence, and foster emotional resilience—especially in young dancers.
Whether you're a dance teacher looking to inspire your students, a dancer navigating your own journey, or a dance enthusiast passionate about the impact of movement, Ian’s perspective will leave you motivated and moved. He also shares powerful advice for anyone curious about starting their dance journey—no matter their age or background.
