Episode Synopsis

I wanted to talk about dance in a way anyone can relate to. Even if you’ve never thought of yourself as a dancer, in some way you probably are. Who's never moved to the sound of music? Kate Wallich, founder of Dance Church, is a dancer, a choreographer and director and a business woman who’s turned a Sunday dance class into a VC-backed, multi-million dollar tech company with a huge online community. She's at the intersection of dance, well-being, artist community, business and tech, and she's fascinating because people rarely make those world connect successfully. We talked about dance as an act of freedom, self-expression, self-esteem and belonging. We talked about the process of making it an inclusive and judgement-free practice. We talked about the birth and success of Dance Church, how it is proof that anyone is indeed a dancer. We talked about the need to support dancers as essential pillars of our culture and our wellbeing, and how that requires the art world to think of itself, unapologetically, also as a business.Dance Church Classes Business reference from Kate: The Hard Thing about Hard Things, Ben HorrowitzAHP is on Instagram, Twitter and Facebook.Visit our website for info and contact here.
