A PODCAST ABOUT DANCERS, ARTISTS, AND PERFORMERS LIVING AND WORKING IN NEW YORK CITY
Dance Journal NYC is an independent podcast, produced by professional dancer Katie Dorn. In each episode Katie interviews a dancer or performer who is living and working in New York City. The interviews are not just about dance and art, they are about what it takes to be a successful person, a resident, in this super energetic city that seems to be moving at an even more frenetic pace each year.
If you have been living in the city your entire life we hope that you find a sense of kinship and community in each interview. If you have never even set foot in NYC, we hope that each episode will provide insight, inspiration, and a deeper understanding of the possibilities and struggles that come with a career and life here.
