Step by Step: Discover the Relationship Benefits of Dance

In this captivating episode, discover how dance serves as a soulful dialogue, inviting exploration and growth in our personal lives. We pirouette into the world of dance with Linda D Sutton, a public health graduate who transitioned into a global dance expert and relationship coach. Linda's journey from health policy to dance is an inspiring tale of how movement can break barriers and foster deep human connections.  Linda highlights the rich African influences in global dance forms, urging us to appreciate the historical tapestry that enriches our rhythmic expressions. Our discussion takes a metaphorical turn with tango and the milonga, revealing their roles in fostering resilience and promoting relational growth. Linda challenges the hierarchical perceptions of leadership in dance, offering insights into non-hierarchical dynamics that parallel the partnerships found in life. Join us for this enriching exploration, and be inspired to choose words that foster understanding and growth, as communication is a dance of its own.   "In tango, leading and following are not hierarchical. They have equal value, different functions, but are equal in value. This mirrors the dynamics of relationships, where one inspires and the other initiates, and both are essential for the partnership to thrive." - Linda D Sutton Chapters: (00:05) - Dance, Culture, and Global Connections (11:09) - Tango Dynamics in Relationships (27:20) - Transformation Through Relationship Insights   Key Topics: Dance, Culture, and Global Connections (0:00:05 - 11:09) Linda's transition from health policy to dance.
