Veterinarian and veterinary faculty member Dr. Ryane Englar still considers herself a “baby dancer,” although her teacher and dance partner, Lowell, saw her potential and gently encouraged her over their years of practice to dive into competition with him. We start off the podcast with a fascinating consideration of how two dancers work together, one leading and one following, to maintain strict posture, movement, speed and flow by staying close together. “If I start to slip, my pro partner can turn me so it looks pretty to the audience, but we both know he’s doing it to get me back where I need to be,” Ryane says. Her descriptions of interaction between professional dancers and amateurs, men and women, leading, following and back-leading is fascinating. The art feels very gendered, with men leading and women following, and that just seems like an element of the art as performed today. However, Ryane says same-sex couples are “starting to make an appearance” in competitions and are actually common with certain dances in Europe. The best part is hearing how dance added some tools to Ryane’s toolkit in her personal and professional life and gave her something that wasn’t about her veterinary work, “more than a definition,” she says. Find out how Ryane got started dancing as an adult (ballet as a child didn’t do it: “I thought forever I would never dance beautifully,” she says), how Lowell helped her learn how to fall, and how it brings confidence in life and in dancing. As Ray Davies sings, “Come dancing … ” (Image by Peter H from Pixabay)   WANT TO KNOW MORE? &gt; Ryane drops a lot of names of different dance styles, and she covers it a little bit from “the student perspective.” But if you want to dig in at wikidancesport.com: American rhythm, American smooth, International ballroom, International Latin. &gt; Arthur Murray Dance Centers are Ryane’s choice.

Episode 12: Dr. Ryane Englar does ballroom dancing

Ryane Englar is a DVM certified in canine and feline practice and an assistant professor and clinical education coordinator at Kansas State College of Veterinary Medicine. Ryane works to help her students understand life, connections, and relationships to get to the other side of hardships.  Ryane believes that each person is truly enough, and it just takes a bit of sorting out to figure out what that means for each individual person. Through a mastery of work-life balance, finding a passion project such as ballroom dancing and realizing the life that you want as a veterinarian, Ryane is an inspirational teacher and motivator.  We all bring different angles and perspectives to academia and our profession, and Ryane loves to have real conversations with her students to embrace this messy thing that we call life and help the new generation pull together instead of being separated by our differences. Through the writing of many books and conversations with many students, Ryane has a handle on learning about yourself and the importance of reaching out to others. What was the last ‘real’ conversation you had with somebody about the successes and failures that you are currently experiencing? Share your story with us in the comments on the episode page.    In This Episode  Life lessons from the ballroom dance floor and learning how to do things better The importance of reaching out to people and letting someone know you are there How to disagree on issues and still be colleagues that can work together Words to help you be better veterinarians while reminding us that we are all human Why you need a light at the end of the tunnel to funnel your stress into and find pleasure    Quotes “I thought all I could ever be was a veterinarian, that was how I defined my whole being, I lived to work and I worked to live. And then I met dance and I met Loel, and I realized a whole person inside of me that I didn’t know existed.” (7:16) “Maybe we all need to think ‘what is enough?’ and change that definition. So that to me is kind of how I am trying to live my life through teaching the students.” (11:25) “We both know that medicine is not easy, you are never going to wake up one day and it is going to be magic and perfect, but why don’t we start giving us tools that can help us succeed better?” (17:14) “That is part of my hope, that maybe someone out there, maybe not even reading the book for its purpose was written for, will say hey, maybe I need to pick up the phone and call somebody.” (26:36) “We don’t need to massive things to change the world or our profession, we just have to be kind to one another.” (31:23)   Links Enjoying these stories?
