Welcome to Dance Uncorked Podcast!
Meet podcast host, Lindsey Jean - a dance artist/educator and wine enthusiast who loves to discuss all things dance over a good glass of wine. Each episode will be accompanied by a special bottle of wine, and most often, a stellar guest dance artist to deepen the conversation. Basic wine knowledge and tips will be shared along the way, exposing the artistry behind wine making, tasting, and pairing!
