Alter Egos, Accountability, and the Power of Thoughts: Dancing Through Challenges

In this introspective episode of Dance Specific Talks, Coach Sebastian and T-zer tackle big questions about identity, accountability, and growth in the dance community. They explore the concept of creating alter egos—those fearless, unapologetic versions of ourselves that help push boundaries and overcome insecurities. T-zer shares how she’s developing her own alter ego to shift her mindset from “dancer who can't earn well” to “wealthy dancer,” and Coach shares tools like power phrases to tap into inner strength.

The conversation takes a serious turn as they address the lack of accountability in the Latin dance community, particularly in the face of issues like sexual harassment and abuse. They reflect on the role men and women must play in fostering a safer, more respectful environment for all dancers. Additionally, the duo discusses the importance of redirecting negative thoughts, the power of self-identification, and how nervousness can be a driver of growth in dance and life.

This episode blends lighthearted anecdotes—like Therese’s silk-draped photoshoot and their shared love of dancehall—with powerful conversations about how the dance community can grow, evolve, and hold itself accountable.
