Beyond the StEPS: Season 5 is Here!

Season 5 of "Beyond the Steps" is HERE!

Bri Zborowski and Melissa McDaniel Grisham are back, and they’re bringing even more wisdom, wit, and wellness tips for performance athletes. This season, they dive into the intense world of boot camps, choreography marathons, and conventions, while sharing their personal experiences balancing work, dance, and parenthood chaos. 

Melissa talks about choreo-season burnout, while Bri takes us on a tour of Apolla's growth, especially in cheer, marching arts, and... soccer mom mode. They also tease upcoming hot topics, like “Keeping Up with the Joneses” in the dance world, studio-owner struggles, and even more Dance Mom insights. This season, they’re committed to deeper discussions on pay equity in the arts and audition tips for collegiate-level athletes.

What’s next? Exciting guest panelists every week!

For those new to Beyond the Steps, this is a weekly video series available on YouTube and Facebook every Friday.
