What happens when a dancer’s body whispers for pause, but the world applauds endurance? In this episode, we delve into the layered realities of injuries, chronic fatigue, and the quiet moments dancers often feel they aren’t allowed to take.
We explore how rest can be more than just a break, it can be a conscious, empowering act of resistance against the ”push through the pain” culture. Through conversations on recovery, body awareness, and sustainable practice, we reframe rest as a radical form of self-respect and long-term care.
Join us as we hold space for stories of burnout, healing, and the shift toward a dance culture that values well-being as much as performance. Because behind every strong performance is a body that also needs permission to soften.
