    I love listening to you both! Please keep going after NTP wraps! Ideas for topics include:

    1. Parenting

    2. Americans with immigrant roots

    3. Review our great dance movies across the decades and invite a dancer/choreographer from the film on as a special guest (Save the Last Dance, Take the Lead, Step Up, Strictly Ballroom, Honey, Dance With Me, Center Stage, Dirty Dancing, Billy Elliot)

    4. Aging...

    5. Los Angeles (an interesting, beautiful, and confusing place)

  • Keep the podcast going post Next Pro

    As an amateur dancer who competes, I really enjoy hearing Val and Danielle talk about what it is like to be in the pro and am/ leader and follower roles. Enjoy Val’s insights on the role of a leader, choreographer, teacher and Danielle sharing her experiences from the amateur side of the couple. Honestly, I enjoy the podcast more than the tv show so please keep going post Next Pro.
