Dancing Through Challenges: Women’s Health, Social Media, and Diverse Representation (ft. Nika Mal)

In this powerful episode of Dance Specific Talks, Coach Sebastian and T-zer are joined by the talented dancer and rising star, Nika Mal, to discuss the multifaceted world of dance. Together, they dive into deeply personal and professional topics, reflecting on what it takes to grow as a dancer while balancing health, authenticity, and creativity. Nika shares her journey as a Russian-Ukrainian dancer navigating an international lifestyle, her passion for incorporating diverse styles like Tango, Bachata, and Urban Kiz into her repertoire, and her thoughts on managing a social media presence while performing with her semi-professional team.

Nika opens up about her recent PCOS diagnosis and how it has impacted her health and career, sparking a larger conversation about women’s health and the stigma surrounding hormonal imbalances. The trio also explores the importance of representation in the dance community, the role of social media for dancers, and how authenticity can shine through even in the fast-paced world of content creation.
