معلومات عن هذه الحلقة
In this episode of Call Sheet Confessions, Mia LePage reconnects with mentor, choreographer, and educator Anthony Burrell for a deeply personal conversation about growth, faith, and full-circle moments.
Anthony’s career spans Alvin Ailey, Beyoncé, Mariah Carey, Rihanna, Jennifer Lopez, Katy Perry, Dance Moms, and more — but his story begins in Philadelphia, where dance became therapy and mentors became lifelines.
He shares how childhood trauma shaped his drive, how Point Breeze Performing Arts Center changed his future, and why Breaking Barriers was created to give other kids the same opportunity he once received.
The conversation dives into:
• Taking risks and walking away from stability
• Concert vs. commercial dance worlds

• Relationships, self-worth, and protecting your light
