Welcome to The Backstage Podcast! I'm Emi, a fifteen-year-old dancer and student in Toronto, Canada. In today's episode, I tell you a little more about myself, then we talk about why I started the backstage podcast and who it is for. We are on a mission to reduce the stigma surrounding mental health and body image in dance culture and over the course of a few episodes, we will be meeting with various experts in these areas. You can find us on Instagram @thebackstagepodcast_  I’m so excited to have you join me today and I hope you enjoy!
