Beyond The Dance Floor with Geena Driven
Over the last 20 years, I have spent a great part of my career creating opportunities for dancers to discover, develop, and demonstrate their passion for dance. I have met this challenge while being broke, scared, tired, and lost. But when you know the calling on your life, giving up is not an option. Dance has been such an amazing gift to me. Some of the most devastating moments in my life happened in and through dance. However, I have experienced some of my greatest joys and accomplishments as a dancer and a creative. It wasn't that long ago that I found myself unable to afford rent or gas. Fast forward a few years, I get to lead a company that builds community for women (Hip Hop Heels), and another that still remains the largest celebration of hip hop dance in the south (Dallas Hip-Hop Dance Festival). The weekly sold out classes are simply the icing on the cake. This podcast will cover a wide variety of topics - dance, business, love, leadership, God, finances, sex/sexuality, fitness... LIFE. My goal is to streamline my resources and knowledge to help dancers (and anyone who will listen) create a life worth dancing for. Throughout my life and career, one thing has become very apparent - when all is said and done, what truly matters in life and yes, in dance, happens beyond the dance floor.

Malcolm Gladwell suggests that not everyone is given equal opportunities and if we all were … well life would be a little different. While everyone is not given equal opportunities, everyone is given an opportunity at some point in their life. Now whether you are in a place to recognize the opportunity or not, is up to you. And what you choose to do with those opportunities is completely up to you. It's not the whole story, but here's a quick look at how a little girl from the south of Cameroon ended up in Texas running a handful of businesses for fun. And the "village" that helped to make her who she is today.
