Episode Synopsis

Welcome back to another heartwarming episode of our podcast! Today, I had the pleasure of sitting down with two incredible individuals who are not only dear friends of mine but also a powerhouse couple in the world of dance and creative arts education – Abby and Erick.
Abby and Erick are a dynamic husband and wife duo, parents to a delightful little girl named Stella, and renowned dancers who have traveled the world teaching and performing. They've built a company together called AE Creative, which has become a beacon of inspiration for many.
They shared their experiences of growing up, their love for dance, and how they've always been the ones to light up the stage, even during their school days.
We dive into the challenges they faced when the pandemic hit, especially with a three-month-old baby. They recounted how they pivoted their careers as a way to stay connected with the world and keep dance alive in their lives. This initiative sparked the idea to build on their passion for dance and use it to uplift others, which led to the creation of their company.
Abby and Erick also opened up about their personal lives, discussing the importance of family and how they've navigated their roles as parents and partners. The couple spoke about the transformative power of travel and how immersing themselves in different cultures has broadened their perspectives and deepened their empathy. They believe that everyone has their own unique view of life, and by embracing and learning from each other, we can all grow and connect on a deeper level.
As educators, Abby and Erick stressed the importance of dance as a form of nonverbal communication and self-expression. They believe that dance should be an integral part of education, as it teaches individuals about themselves and how to connect with others beyond words.
Finally, they discussed the spiritual aspect of dance and how it can be a form of worship and connection to a higher power. They believe that when a dancer is in the flow, there is a divine synergy that creates unforgettable moments and inspires both the performer and the audience.
Join us as we celebrate their journey and the lessons they've shared on embracing the dance of life.
