The podcast that nerds out about dance to learn more about the world.

Season 2: March - August 2022

Host Sima Belmar has been a dance insider for over forty years, and she still has questions. In season two, Dance Cast will search for some answers. Conversations with dance insiders and outsiders will bust binaries (street/stage, traditional/contemporary, theory/practice), explore concepts (virtuosity, abstraction, expression), consider practices (technique, training, transmission), and investigate how dance weaves its way through pop culture, society, and our daily lives.
