The Real Smile Podcast is Here – And It’s Already Exceeding All Our Dreams! 🎙️✨
- August 01, 2026
Hello wonderful Smile family,
I’m still smiling from ear to ear as I write this! Just four days after launching The Real Smile Podcast, the response has been nothing short of incredible. The messages, the shares, the early listens, and the excitement pouring in from across the dance community have truly warmed my heart. Thank you for embracing it so warmly – this is only the beginning!
What is The Real Smile Podcast?
The Real Smile Podcast (brought to you by Sharon Collins Smile Productions) is a space created with love for everyone who lives and breathes dance. Whether you’re a dance teacher, studio principal, school owner, professional performer, aspiring dancer, or a dedicated parent supporting your child’s passion, this podcast is for you.
Hosted with warmth, honesty, and real conversation, each episode dives into genuine stories, practical advice, and inspiring insights from people who truly understand the dance world. No sugar-coating, just authentic discussions that matter.
We’re releasing 1 episode weekly every Tuesday, and the first one dropped on the 15th June. You can find them here
Why I’m So Excited
Seeing the early feedback has confirmed everything I hoped for. Listeners are telling us they feel seen, inspired, and motivated. Teachers are sharing how certain moments resonated deeply with their own experiences, and parents have reached out saying the podcast helps them better understand their dancer’s journey. That’s exactly why I started this – to build a supportive, honest community through conversation.
I’ve already recorded some wonderful episodes with incredible guests, and I can’t wait for you to hear them. The energy, the laughter, and the real talk have made the recording process an absolute joy.
Join the Conversation
If you haven’t listened yet, I warmly invite you to press play today. Whether you’re driving between rehearsals, relaxing after a long studio day, or looking for that extra spark of motivation – there’s something here for you.
🎧 Listen to the first episodes now and subscribe so you never miss a release!
