Popular Reviews of The Background Dancer

Seeing how Jason has been able to expand his podcast over time has been inspiring. From the dance interviews he started with, he's moved into topics like entrepreneurship and technology that I never associated with dance. It's fascinating to hear how Jason connects all these topics but he always makes it easy for the listener to see the connection. Highly recommended!

Great show, your voice, topic and flow of the show is great!👏

Interesting interviews that flow easily, almost organically, and bring an interesting and refreshing analysis to the gigantic world of dance.

The Background dancer podcast is my first and only (as of now) dance related podcast I've listened to. I like how it tackles the other side of Performing Arts which is more of technical and stage managing. The area that we often forget to put emphasis on. As a student performer, it's a learning ground for me. Learning how to cultivate and share the knowledge of dance and finding the purpose of ourselves in the artform. Also hearing the journey of the host in the background dancer really gives me hope to continue. We, performers also had our phase where we ask ourselves if dance is the journey that we need and want at the same time and as I listened, I remembered where I started. You know it's really a big thing: looking back and seeing how you started dancing.  A really simple memory yet meaningful. I really don't have something to dislike on the podcast. but I do suggest to keep on inviting guests and also have an episode where it's only the host speaking. Arrange it in a manner the audience will not get tired of listening like: a solo episode followed by 2 episode with a guest. I will recommend it to student artist who are feeling burnout at the moment. This podcast really gives me a redirection as to how I see dance as a whole. Listening to podcast in general is a very good habit for growth💓

I like the variety of dance-related topics and guests that you’re featuring on the show, as well as that conversational and casual interview style. This is really great for anyone who shows an interest in dance careers and the various paths they can branch out into.

Trurly devoted, passionate, intelligent human being taking holistic approach about dance

What I enjoy most about The Background Dancer Podcast is that it is incredibly unique. I have yet to find any podcast that fully encompasses the world of performance art—and more exclusively, dance! Jason also has a bona fide talent for podcasting. His voice is clear, distinct, and intuitive. The Background Dancer brings the topic and discussion of dance into the foreground!

Amazing! Thank you so much for the knowledge that you provide!

I love your podcast so much Jason, it's amazing. It's very interesting and entertaining. I think it's very useful for dancers and everyone else who is working in art industry. And also for those who are in the background of course. It's also useful for me because I am a dancer. Thank you for making this podcast. I learned a lot from the podcast and found out a lot of information about art industry that I didn't know before. I like that you have awesome guests and you are discussing different interesting topics together. There's nothing that I don't like about your podcast. I would definitely recommend it to my friends who are also dancers. Please continue in doing this. You are so good at making podcasts. Good job Jason. 😊

I like how professionally the podcasts are. It is nice to see that young generation understands that dancers need knowledge. It is the step forward to connect art not only to the artists, but to whole society. Jason is doing his job with incredible passion!!

I am very impressed by the way Jason curates the podcast. He posits dance in context to give audience a bigger picture of how performing arts relates with the real world. Despite this web of relationships is such a vast and complicated one, I am able to follow along under Jason's well organized topics and his clear articulation of thoughts. Highly recommended!

I’m absolutely loving it - it’s very insightful, raw and just honest. I love that you have guests on too to talk about their experiences and for them to provide some words of wisdom! I would definitely recommend to friends - particularly those who have graduated from dance/performing arts/drama amidst a pandemic! Keep up the great work🙌🏽💙✨

Brilliant podcast, topics and host of course! I would highly recommend it to all who are passionate about art.

1.我最喜歡這個podcast最主要的原因是它以舞蹈為主題。而且所討論的方向都比較偏向於幕後，類似Dance Magazine、舞蹈的成立還有馬來西亞的舞蹈發現......一般民眾比較少機會去了解的部分。2.這個頻道的頭像/logo可能可以設計得活潑一些/可以吸引聽眾的目光。或是以一些有趣的主題、並且能讓聽眾的容易理解，產生共鳴。例如：大眾對舞蹈的刻板印象/大眾覺得舞蹈系都在幹嘛/以舞蹈為職業......等等3.我會想要把這個podcast推薦給馬來西亞學舞蹈的人......無論是否想要往專業的方向發展。因為我覺得馬來西亞的資訊傳達不夠迅速，很多舞蹈領域上的人事物都無法傳達及分佈到其他州，僅限與某個城市。所以我覺得這個podcast是可以讓你在舞蹈領域上增加很多知識的一個頻道

The Background Dancer integrates the different aspects of this extensive performing arts form in a way that is so inclusive, informative, and inspiring! I've loved listening to the journey so far and I'm really looking forward to the next seasons!
