How to Tap into Your Inner Creative Soul Through Authenticity and Self-Belief with Katey Windholz
Manage episode 366065132 series 3448026
Ah, this episode is such a treat! My guest today is Katey Windholz, a choreographer at my daughters' dance school. Although she teaches a variety of styles, she's the head of the tap program there. She's always had a creative brain around music, hearing the "holes" in songs and mentally filling them with beats that she would translate into choreography.
This past season, she was working on a tap number for one of the high school aged classes and some ideas came to here that were NOT her usual style. She was used to doing loud, entertaining, in-your-face dances, but this was different. She questioned herself, as many of us creatives do when some new type of inspiration strikes asking, "Am I crazy? Will this be well-received or totally shot down?"
Well, she went with it and at the very first dance convention they performed it at, the number won Best Overall, which is HUGE, especially for a dance number!
Katey and I get into the creative brain, the soul-sucking-ness of imposter syndrome that comes from too much time online, her one simple hack to get out of it, and also...playing music for chickens?! And an animal whisperer? Haha! This episode was a fun one!
This is a perfect episode for anyone questioning that little voice inside that's calling you to something that may seem out of the realm of possibilities, but it also making you excited.
