Backed with scientific research and Mia's career experience...we present to you a NEW perspective for dancers to consider, creating NEW GROUND and Redefining Today's Dancer for the future generations.

In Episode One, we introduce Mia and Apolla's collaboration...but this series is about SO much more than just footwear.

This episode kicks off the discussion, bringing awareness to the dance culture that has an epidemic of injuries and what we can do to start the conversation to enact change.

Throughout the series, Mia dives into what changed her mind and her stance on many of the old traditions. She shares with the next generation of dancers how to avoid common failures in hopes to help dancers everywhere enjoy a long and healthy career in dance.
