Emily Running interviews Eric Nordstrom, dance educator and Dance Wire Ambassador. They talk about: 



✨Dance as a way to understand and process experiences and emotions, to be a little bit more human



✨ Throughout history, masculinity shifts and morphs to support the patriarchy - Louis XIV dancing



✨ Contact improvisation being a practice in presence and being present, reception and receiving information



✨ Stages of identity - transitions throughout a dance career, student, to performer, to teacher 



✨ Funding and space are a yes, and. Dance needs both to thrive, Eric believes they would thrive exponentially with greater governmental support
