About this episode
Good leaders think about the legacy they want to leave behind, even if they are years away from leaving the helm of the ship. I had the extreme pleasure of watching the national tour of Hamilton when it first came to town, and I left the show inspired and thinking about legacy. How do you build a legacy that you're proud of? What does that even mean? One of the parts that stuck with me was Alexander's speech about his legacy: "Legacy. What is a legacy? It's planting seeds in a garden you never get to see. I wrote some notes at the beginning of a song someone will sing for me. America, you great unfinished symphony, you sent for me. You let me make a difference." Today's episode is a stream-of-consciousness episode where I was inspired to share my thoughts around tradition and legacy as dance teachers and coaches. We'll discuss creating a legacy in the professional dance team world, the mantra of "tradition never graduates," and I'll share how I've developed my own legacy as a teacher and coach. Here are my thoughts on building our own legacies because a teacher's impact lasts long after we've left the classroom.
