  • So grateful for these to go back and listen.

    I have taken so much from being able to listen in on these conversations, things that I share and pass on to my students and anyone who will listen to me talk about tap dance. It has inspired me in my practice and approach to tap dance in so many ways. Thank you Travis for sharing.

  • Keep the Content (and reflection) Rolling!

    Love this podcast, as a tap dancer, as a tap dance educator, and as a curious human. I feel like I’m in the room with you , Travis!

    My only critique is the sound quality isn’t always the best— but has certainly improved in the newer episodes! Thanks for what you do for the community and world.
