Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

#58 Meti Cho
Q: What drew you to swing and jazz, and how did you start your journey from medical school to dance?
Meti describes discovering swing through clubbing and live music, the social and performing aspects that hooked her, and her decision to balance work with dancing, ultimately prioritizing dance as a career.
#57 Sing Lim
Q: What has kept you for so long in the dance and what has kept that passion alive?
I really love Lindy Hop, the music and the dance, and I feel a responsibility to pass on the knowledge I have learned from Frankie.
#55 Sylvain & Marion
Q: What would you say jazz taught you about life?
Jazz taught me to listen better and to have conversations with people without language at first, but then also through language and to accept how many different people there are and kind of get to know that world.
#54 The Küçümen Brothers
Q: How do you approach setbacks and struggles or things that don't go according to the plan?
The most meaningful way to approach competing is that everything you do before a competition is what's going to make the difference on the stage.
#51 Juan Villafane
Q: Can you share a song or songs that have influenced you a lot over the years?
Songs like 'Heat in the Bottle' by Jimmy Lansford and 'Sandu' by Clifford Brown have sentimental value for me, and they connect deeply with my dance experiences.
