Today, I get to visit with the one and only April Rose as we discuss the historical and cultural research that went into her thesis, what her inspirations for this research have been, and how that work has created a firm foundation for her new Dance Cohesion dance and teacher training program!
Quarantine has made it very difficult for small business owners and dancers to continue their regular coursework and streams of income. I've updated the payment info in this and my other tutorial videos, in case you want to show my guests some love during quarantine (or otherwise;)
