Ep 8 - JaJa Vankova Armstrong

Joél Casanova — Mon, 27 Jul 2026 13:01:09 GMT

Have you ever called yourself a dancer? Does that mean that there are other people who aren’t dancers? What’s the difference between you and them?

What if I told you that JaJa Vankova Armstrong, internationally-known performer choreographer, and instructor, doesn’t hold to the title dancer as tightly as the majority of the dance world…

Ep 7 - Dancing 3- Dimensionally

Joél Casanova — Mon, 20 Jul 2026 13:01:44 GMT

If your goal of dancing wasn’t to get better at it… What would the goal be? Is dance just about performing? Why do other people need to see and approve of our dance?

These are question that aren’t hypothetical. These are questions that determine whether our dancing is 2-dimensional or 3-dimensional.

Ep 2 - Quiana Erb

Joél Casanova — Fri, 16 Jan 2026 17:25:42 GMT

There is a bridge between a dancer and their growth in the skill of Dance: teachers. But... aren't people who teach dance also dancers? What is the difference between dancers and dance teachers anyway? What makes the skill of dancing and the skill of teaching different?
