Hey, I really support what you’re doing with this site. Are you gonna just focus on podcasts? I’d like to see some written posts as well. They don’t have to be long, just share your thoughts.
Question concerning this post: Not wishing any ill will upon you two, but what happens when a couple breaks up? Does it really change the dynamic of the company? It will vary, but I’d imagine that with some ugly cases, it would be really hard to work with each other again, after all the emotional history.
Hey J,
We are trying to consistently put out podcasts every week. I definitely try to provide more written posts than that, but it is hard to keep up. One thing we have been trying to figure out is whether readers would rather read in depth posts less often, or shorter posts more often. I think people are wanting shorter posts more often, so that is what we will start shifting toward as we grow.
You asked a really good question. People definitely do break up, and it isn’t always smooth. It can make being in class or rehearsals a bit more stressful than you would want, so it is something people have to take into consideration before getting into the relationship that mixes dance/work and love/personal life. We’ve seen it happen, and it usually seems that people honor their commitment to dance and their company and work through their differences. Like everything, it isn’t always smooth.
Thanks for the response!
