New Dance and Performing Arts Industry Talk Show Takes Over Internet Radio and Ustream.tv

Dec. 1, 2010 - PRLog -- The Kiner Hour - Let's Talk Dance with Ashani Mfuko live internet radio and Ustream.tv show provides an inside look at the dance and performing arts world, with intimate interviews from dance industry leaders. The show broadcasts live from New York City, every Tues. Night from 7-8 pm EST, at the Talking Alternative Radio Broadcasting Station, on the Upper West Side of Manhattan.

This show covers hot topics in the dance world, the business side of the dance industry, how to be successful in the dance industry, health and wellness, advice on how to use social media for dance, and how to stay positive and motivated as a dance studio owner, dance teacher, and professional dancer, with special guest interviews from dance-industry leaders.

"There wasn't anyone in talk radio, and definitely not in internet radio, addressing the excitement and complexities of the dance world, which has now become so popular thanks to shows like "Dancing With the Stars", and "So You Think you Can Dance". So, I wanted to create a platform for dancers and performing artists to be able to learn about the business side of this industry, get empowered through knowledge about what it really takes to be successful as a dancer, dance educator, or dancerpreneur, and inspire them through real-life stories and interviews with dancers who are already making a positive impact in the dance world", said Ashani Mfuko, the show's host, creator, and CEO of Kiner Enterprises Inc.

With Grosh Backdrops and Drapery as a sponsor, and Mission 101 Media as the official media partner, The Kiner Hour is maximizing social media to spread knowledge about what it takes to make it in the dance industry, and shine a light on the many misconceptions and myths about dancers. The show's host, Ashani Mfuko, hosts a live chat every Tuesday on Twitter called the #LetsTalkDance Tweetchat, as an extension of the show, and to build awareness and camaraderie amongst dancers and performing artists on Twitter. Show highlights are posted on the Ashani Mfuko Dance YouTube page, and behind the scenes photos from the show are posted on the Kiner Enterprises Inc. Facebook fan page, and Flickr page.
