In this episode I sit with Sanna, a Balboa dancer from Finland with more than twenty years on the dance floor.
We talk about how she began, what kept her in the scene, and what she wants to see more of on the dancefloor. Sanna shares how jazz music shaped her dancing, how community became her safe bubble, and why she wants dancers to believe in their own style.
We also talk about lighting, teaching, and the small shifts that help people feel brave enough to try something new.
See this episode as a reminder that you CAN (and maybe SHOULD) embrace your way of moving, not someone else's.

We talk about:• why dance brings joy• how different styles share the same roots• what low light does to our attention• how breath can change a whole dance

There is a lovely moment about strobe lights at an electronic concert, and how lighting can lift us into a dreamy, hypnotic state.

In this gentle and honest conversation, Jenna shares what dancing has meant in her life. She talks about growing up in the U.S., dancing for the first time when someone accidentally has invited her to dance at prom when “Big Bad Voodoo Daddy” song came up, and how it slowly shaped everything from her friendships to the place she now calls home.

We explore what it’s like to dance with poor low‑light vision, how lighting can change safety and comfort on the floor, and why inclusive environments matter more than most people realize.

Jenna also opens up about:• why she dances• how she builds connection when leading and following• the influence of other dance styles• the beauty of bringing your whole self into the dance• what she wishes more dancers understood

This episode is soft, thoughtful, and full of insight for anyone who cares about community and connection on the dance floor.
