I really enjoyed my time with Krystal on The Chelsea Keefer Podcast last week when we dove into her current thesis on Shame in dance at UC Irvine. Krystal and I have been friends for over ten years and she has offered me a lot of guidance along the way. Krystal has the unconventional path within dance, she has worked with some truly amazing choreographers and has tried many different avenues whether performing with a company or giving commercial dance a try. Krystal is currently finishing up her Masters in Dance at UC Irvine and has really found a passion for teaching and how important communication is to our up and coming dancers of this world. How we all need to hold ourselves accountable for our behaviors and recognize that we are the ones to make the change within the current authoritatian teaching methods in dance. Understand that yes this approach is what can make a career happen in the sense of understanding the sacrifice that is needed, but we can offer a different style of vocabulary where positive feedback and less reaction can create a healthier environment for all. Please enjoy our conversation about the current times of the dance world and what Krystal has discovered within her research.
