  • 19 - 6/2023 Dating A Dancer - What It's Like Dating In The Dance Community

    What is it like dating a dancer? Ray Ray and Annabel were curious about other dancer's experiences so they put out a ten question survey to find out. In this episode they discuss the results.


    Annabel suggests that for dating to be successful, both dancers have to be extremely confident and secure, not be prone to jealousy, have clearly established expectations and boundaries which are similar enough to each others' so that conflict and hurt are avoided. Ray Ray adds that when feelings are hurt, communicating it in a mature and rational way is also necessary.


    The original survey is here: https://forms.gle/7LpnD73tAkgftmL76 It's open again for more responses.
