Ep:07 “I was Told I Couldn’t Dance Again”

In this conversation, former professional soloist ballet dancer Charlene Dujardin shares her inspiring journey from overcoming a life-altering injury to becoming a dance teacher and studio owner. She discusses the challenges she faced in her career, the importance of self-belief, and her vision for nurturing future dancers. Charline emphasizes the significance of focusing on personal growth and the love for dance, rather than comparing oneself to others in the industry.
