Breaking the Wall Podcast
Hosted by NYC based dancer, teacher, and career coach Brandon Coleman, this podcast provides tools to help pre-professional and early career dancers navigate a professional career in the arts. Breaking the Wall is about demystifying the dance industry and taking real action to make our life long dreams come true. As dancers, we spend hours a day and years of our lives honing our craft, but as we step into our careers we need to ask ourselves what we truly want from this life. How is the dance industry changing? Where do I start my career? How can I enjoy the work I'm doing every day? Through stories of success and lessons learned from some epic failures, we will get honest about what we bring to the dance world and what we want our lives to look like in it.

127. Big Ideas for the Future of Dance with Omri Drumleviuch
I love this episode with my friend Omri Drumlevich. Omri and I worked together in Sleep No More for many years. While in the show, I could always count on him for good conversation in the dressing room. While we spent a good portion of our time fighting on stage, he's such a beautiful person that I get to know.
In our conversation we dive into a lot of big ideas about the dance world and how a career progresses over time. This is a great episode for dancers who are just getting their feet wet in their career and also dancers who feel like they are at a turning point in their careers.
