Vangeline will be featured on the second season of the BBC podcast Deeply Human, hosted by Dessa, which will be broadcast live on February 26 & 27, 2022, at the top of the 2 o'clock hour, local time. The episode is entitled "Why We Dance," and will be available to stream shortly after broadcast on the BBC website. On the episode, Vangeline and Dessa discuss why our bodies react to rhythm: from rain dances to raves, dance has been a social tool for sexual selection and community cohesion. The pair explores the neuroscience of music and movement and learns how dance therapy is used to treat motor disorders. Vangeline also gives Dessa a lesson in butoh - the Japanese form sometimes called "the Dance of Darkness" - at her Gowanus studio.
