275.5. DANCE + NICK DRAGO

This is DANCE + Nick Drago
Nick Drago holds the honor of being this podcast's very first guest — Episode 0.5, the audition episode, back when I wasn't even sure this whole thing would work. A dancer, writer, and producer with 20+ years in the industry (think La La Land, Crazy Ex-Girlfriend, Glee, Dancing with the Stars, and about a hundred more), Nick is a walking case study in "just do stuff," imposter syndrome be damned. We sat down to talk about banter as a survival skill, the many different ways to "make the sausage," and why sometimes you just have to try the thing even if it might suck.
We explore:

Was it false or REAL confidence that kept me going for 270+ episodes

The bicep-flex technique nobody asked for, but everybody needed

What Michael Rooney, Mandy Moore, and Kat Burns taught Nick about building choreography, and the attitude that keeps him in the game no matter who is calling the shots

This one's for anyone who needs a reminder that "just do stuff" is a mantra, not a mistake.
