Pas De Chát: Talking Dance

It can be a struggle to find appropriate dance training or to develop professional dance programming in isolated or rural locales. In this week's episode, your host interviews two pioneers from the Alaska dance scene; Pulse Dance Company Artistic Director, Stephanie Wonchala, and former Alaska Dance Theatre student and current Ballet Met Trainee, Rose Montgomery-Webb. Listen in as they share their unique perspectives on cultivating dance in an isolated community like Anchorage, Alaska and what it is like to be an aspiring student seeking a professional career in a community with limited training opportunities. Pas de Chát's host Barry Kerollis is an award-winning choreographer, instructor, and dancer with over 13 years experience in the dance world. His career includes directing Alaska Dance Theatre, dancing for Pacific Northwest Ballet, and traveling the country as a nationally-touring freelance artist.
