Dana Wilson hosts Dominique Kelley on the Words That Move Me Podcast this week! Dom joins us to talk about his new moniker “Broadway Choreographer” for The Great Gatsby on Broadway. One thing I love about Broadway is how choreographers are credited and celebrated. On award season not everyone is recognized though…

In this interview, Dominique talks about his viral dance #newmoney and the affirmation he got from Gen Z recognizing him and his work. Listen in to find out what Dom would do differently next time around and what YOU can do to make yourself a better choreographer today. On top of all that, we have a heartening chat about the economics and accessibility of dance class, plus a few ways we can DO BETTER!
