In Episode 13 of the Strip Journey podcast, I welcome Randa, a dance acrobatics teacher from Helsinki, Finland. Randa shares her transition from being a doctoral researcher in media communication and a Frame Up Strip dancer to teaching dance acrobatics online, inspired by overcoming personal physical challenges. We discuss the importance of understanding body mechanics, mindful practices, and creating a supportive learning environment. Randa emphasizes the significance of teaching foundational techniques rather than just choreography, and the psychological aspects of helping students overcome limitations to achieve their dance goals. Randa also provides insights into organizing international dance acrobatics camps and her plans to focus on online teaching.
