Dancing Around Elephants - Season 2 - Felicia Avalos Part 1

Felicia Avalos joins us for part 1. We talk about her first injury with heel pain, and the importance of changing your training and self care as your body ages. We chat about her use of MuayTai and Brazilian Jujitsu to complement her dance and artistry. Unafraid to embrace the unconventional, Felicia talks about using her father’s Mexican heritage to shine light on difficult issues on immigration to the US, and other social justice issues.
