Hey y'all, welcome to Shudder's Fool Podcast, where we talk with creators, dreamers, and doers who are chasing purpose and building something meaningful. It's not about what you do, it's why you do it. And today we have Charity Baroni. Yes. Welcome now. One of my favorite people ever. So Charity is a choreographer and movement coach and an entertainment industry vet. You've done a lot of things. You've lived a lot of life. We're so excited to talk about it. I'm I'm stoked to be here. Thank you. So for people who don't know you, introduce yourself a little bit. Tell us a little bit about you. Okay. Um, am I talking to the camera or you guys? Mostly us. Okay, but you can look at them. They're there. Jazz walk. Um no, cool. Yeah, a little bit about me. I'm I'm from Nashville. Oh. I am, I know. A unicorn. I like to be special. Um, and then when I was 20, I moved to LA. I actually didn't start dancing in a studio till I was 17, but I always loved, I just loved the art of dance. Yeah. And then I lived in LA for 10 years and I got to live the dream that I went out there to pursue as a dancer. And I learned so much. And I know we'll get into all of that, I'm sure. Yeah. Um, but yeah, I've just always loved dance, and the thing I love the most about it is the connection that it brings to yourself and to others and to the world, and using that in a positive way, even when there's other depth to it as well. Oh, I love that. And you're mama to Frankie. I am a mama to Frankie. The cutest. The cutest. I wrap her everywhere. I think um, yeah, she's the best. She's almost five, and she tells everyone. She's like, My birthday is coming up. And I'm like, this this person is checking us out at the grocery store. But if you guys want to give her a present, she'll love it. What kind of birthday party does she want? Oh my gosh, it's hilarious. So she's really into veggie tails right now, which is like so we all have our times with the tales. Yeah. I remember being seven. And oompa loompa, but the Hugh Grant version from the Wonka movie, the new Wonka movie. She's like obsessed with him. And I have to do his voice all the time. And I even have to bring him to like her gymnastics practices and stuff. She's like, is he watching? And I'm like, yay, go for it. So funny. So she's like super weird and super awesome. So she's gonna have a veggie tails Oompa Loompa birthday. I don't know where you're gonna find those, but yeah. I don't either. I might have to just paint them on the wall or something. I don't know. Yeah, at the pool. Maybe Etsy will have something. I don't know. I know. I need to get on that. Yeah, coming up. But yeah, she's so fun. She's so funny. So you've danced for some big artists and toured all over. What first made you fall in love with dance? Oh man. Honestly, the first time that I was like, whoa, this is just so amazing. I was watching my uncle perform. Obviously, he was inspired by other greats like Michael Jackson. Dance was just like such a part of him. And he was actually traveling um, like the world with this missionary group. And their main thing was sharing Jesus through arts and entertainment. And one of the things that they really focused on was dance and performing in that. And I think I was like nine or ten, and I was just watching this group, and I was like, oh my gosh, like this is so cool. Yeah. And I am feeling so many things right now. And I think that like I have to do this. Yeah. So yeah, I mean, obviously that started me and my sisters and cousin just constantly making up dances and making everyone watch them, you know. Yeah. 17-minute long, like extended version of the worship song. And we're like, it's not done yet. Everyone just stay. So I remember the days. Oh, yes. But that was like the original, or I guess the origin of okay. Um, but I also grew up, my dad is um a worship leader and contemporary Christian artist, and we grew up traveling with him. So obviously, we made up dances to his songs, and we were always like, Dad, we're ready to go on stage. I have a twin sister and an older sister, so we like made up all the like so I was on stage from the age I was like five because it we were like, we're ready, Dad. Yeah, you need a visual to the sermon. Dad, you need backup dancers 100%. Yeah, all the time. It's so fun. It's so fun though. How would you describe the season of life that you're in? Because I feel like we're both in kind of a similar season, raising a little one. So tell us kind of what what you got going on right now. I think if I were to give it one word, it would be full. Yeah. And overwhelming and also so good. Um, there's always something to do, there's always something more to get more business or make more money. And at the end of the day, I'm just so grateful that I have found the perspective of what matters the most is my little girl feeling empowered and loved and connected to our family and authentically herself. And if her watching me do what brings me life can help with that, that is why I do what I do too. So very busy. And I it's more busy in my mind, probably, than anything. I can just be like sitting there and I'm like, oh my gosh, I just did 17 things. Yep. So I've been just sitting here. Um, so yeah, busy and full, but full of so much gratitude as well. Okay. You mentioned um wanting to help people become their full selves. What does that look like when you're teaching or mentoring someone? Oh man, it can look like a lot of different things. I think mainly, you know, anything in the arts or entertainment is really vulnerable. Oh yeah. And I feel like a lot of people feel like dance is unapproachable because it has become such a huge thing, but it's also become such a competitive thing and such a I guess it's always been competitive, but it's so like, look at me, look at me, look at me on socials. And then you're seeing these six-year-olds just like be incredible, and you're like 27, and you're like, I've never danced before, but I really want to try it. But like, I I I'm too late. So my whole message is it's not too late, and all you have to do is turn that. I mean, I say all you have to do, like it's easy, but turning the part of your brain off that tells you you have to be perfect, especially when you're first learning something. That is my goal. When I can get someone in the room with me, the first thing that we practice is knowing that you are fully enough exactly where you're at. You do not have to be perfect. There's no pressure to be anyone else than yourself and to fully connect your brain to your body, like mind-to-body integration. It's so huge because I feel like we all live up here. And when you can just let go and connect everything, whether it's to just be ridiculous and silly and goofy in a beginner hip-hop class, or oh, you have this powerful song that you want to sing, but you don't know what to do once you're on stage. How can we connect your story in order to connect with others and share what you're trying to really portray? I have a random question. Love it. How do you teach someone that doesn't have rhythm how to dance? Well, first of all, I tell them to stop judging themselves. Okay. Um, and I I really, really break it down, like very, very like to the bare minimum. I think we do this as humans with probably everything. We think we already have to have the whole picture when we're learning something, or we have to know the next step before we've gotten this one. And just taking time to explain it and practice it and be like, okay, you're gonna step on this word. Instead of making it about, you have to find the rhythm. It's like, let's figure out a way to make it tangible for you to to find the rhythm in the way that you feel comfortable finding it. Okay. And then it eventually just becomes this flow. And it really is just about letting go. Yeah. And just like letting your body move. And maybe you don't find the rhythm for a thousand hours, yeah. You know? Yeah. It might take a long time, it might not, but it's really just allowing yourself to take the chance to just try and have fun. I feel like dance is supposed to be fun, and sometimes it's not because there's so much pressure on making sure you look good. Yeah. It's like, no, let's just wiggle it out. Look, you can look like Elaine Bennis and it's fine. Exactly. She's got news and medals, though, you know. I love it. But she's she's just like, yeah, whatever. She doesn't care. Show stop doing it. I'm like, I want to be like her. Yeah, yeah. Doesn't care. Okay, so you're balancing motherhood, teaching, and pursuing acting, which is amazing. Oh my gosh. How has becoming a mom changed the way you approach your dreams and career? I mean, it's changed everything. I don't do it for myself. I I I do in a way that's like I get to show her if you're doing something that you are given a gift to do that it's great to be able to do something for yourself. But I'm no longer doing it to build a resume. I'm not doing it to prove anything. Yeah. I'm not You're not climbing a ladder. I'm not climbing a ladder. I have I don't I don't care what you think of me anymore. Like I love that position. It's so cool. Once you're laborating. Yeah. Once you become a mom, it's like, oh. You kind of just giggle at everyone that isn't a mom, and you're like or like doesn't have something else to like take care of, yeah, other than and I still respect everyone. I don't mean I'm not like making fun of anyone. I just think like I pushed a thing out of me and I built it inside I built ears inside of my own body. Yeah. Like, if you don't like what I'm doing, or like you this isn't a fit for you, that's okay. I'm still a magical human being. Absolutely. Absolutely. I can do anything. Yeah. Um, and I don't care if you I don't have anything to prove. It's kind of so refreshing. Yeah. It's just so refreshing. So I just, yeah, I approach everything in such a different way of like at the end of the day, if my daughter is healthy and feels loved, and I totally butchered a private lesson, or like that artist doesn't want me to work with them again, it's okay. Yeah. Not the end of the world. No. And obviously, I'm still like, oh my gosh, they didn't like me. But it's that doesn't define me for the rest of the week. It's like a moment of like, ugh, okay, but it's okay to break. Yeah. Yeah. I'm gonna go hang out with the coolest kid ever. Exactly. Tell me about the acting thing. Yes, that's kind of it's it's more of like a side thing for fun. Okay. Because I love to do like commercial work. Okay. Yeah. So I haven't ever auditioned for like a full film or anything. Okay. But I did start acting in LA before I moved back to Nashville. And it was so cool because most people that live in LA are there to be actors. And I was there to be a dancer, and then I got to do what I went there to do as a dancer, and I was like, let me see if I'm if this is fun. Yeah. So I ended up doing um a really big buzzfeed video. Okay. Um, like musical thing. And it like super blew up, but the whole process of it was just so fun because I didn't have the pressure of like this is why I'm here. It was like, do am I doing good? Yeah. I'm having fun. You know? Doesn't matter if you fail. Yeah. Doesn't matter if I fail. So now that I'm here and the industry is starting to grow. Okay. Um, I just do a lot of like commercial auditions and anything that I can do that's super silly on like the socials that just can kind of just be like a fun way to flex those or like stretch those muscles is really fun. Obviously, I would love to do like huge things, but there's so much to juggle. Yeah. Um, so if something were to happen, I'd be like, yes. I I booked a really big um commercial, and the hilarious thing is that it was the first audition I ever did here. Oh, wow. I booked it. Have not booked one thing since. I was like, what a setup, but also like it's okay. There's something like a resident. Yeah. So yeah, it's just like a really fun, a fun other outlet. Little side project. And I feel like dancers have to be good actors anyway. Like when you're performing on stage um with artists or whatever, like you're telling a story. Yeah. And a lot of it has to do with expression. So do you sing too? I do. I was gonna say, you're you're triple threat thread. Yeah. Triple threat. Oh my god. Tired. Yeah. Thank you. Oh my gosh. Okay, we're done. We're gonna do our commercial. Yes. Like we'll just stand there and talk, and you can just dance all around us. My shoulders fall. I love it. Okay, that's our next video. We're doing this. Perfect. So, what does work-life balance realistically look like for you in this season of life? Oh man, I'm blessed to say that I'm getting really busy. Um, and it's like a lot of different things, which is so fun for me. It's hard for me to do one thing. It also has come with a lot of overwhelm. I feel like my phone owns me because I do all my business through Zand. I hate it. And it feels impossible to have boundaries with it. And it like even when I'm not on it, I'm always thinking about oh my gosh, did I do that thing? Did I do that thing? Did I have I booked the studio? Did I follow up with the client? So it's hard. It's really hard. And I feel like I'm just praying for the bandwidth and the wisdom to find that balance because it's summer now. Frankie isn't in school. I am actually in the process of looking for an assistant, and that makes me feel so like like I'm an employee. But like I am running my own business, and I have to remember like I'm not just like, hey, you want to dance? It's like, oh, I'm offering, I'm offering something, and I I'm a business and I've been running a business for a long time, and it's okay to need help. Oh, yeah. Um, so yeah, I feel like getting an assistant is gonna be really helpful, but I've been really overwhelmed. And also when I'm with Frankie and my husband, I want to be with them. Yeah. I want to be with who I'm with when I'm with them. And so finding help, I think it's gonna just like your key. Let me be able to do that. Yeah. Yeah. It's scary though. Yeah. I'm like, I don't even know how to tell someone like I need I don't know how to ask for help. Can you just take my phone and figure it out? Yeah. I need an assistant to book a coffee to find an assistant, you know? Like, what am I supposed to have? No, I feel like it's it's good. It's hard to find the balance, but I feel like I'm on my way to at least knowing that I need to. Yes. And I think that's the first step is like finding the I want to have present time with my family. I'm gonna like block off this work time. I need to find an assistant. It's realizing is a huge deal, right? And like when I'm creating videos or whatever, I don't want Frankie to think, oh, she's just on social media instead of hanging out with me. And it's like, no, I'm actually doing my job, but so I'm having to figure out those boundaries. Yeah. That's I'm Italian, I can't help it. That's something I struggle with because my all my work is on my phone. And I don't want, I mean, my husband thinks that I'm just scrolling social media. Right. And it's so and I'm like, I'm literally working, I promise you. I'm answering emails, I'm responding to clients, I'm doing content. Doing my 20 minutes of engagement, like whatever that looks like, yeah. Yeah, totally. And also, what if you were just on your phone scrolling? Yeah. It's okay. Yeah. Every once in a while. I feel like we always have to qualify ourselves as women for anything that we're doing that looks like we're just having a luxurious moment. Right. Yeah. Breathing. And it's like, when was the last time you saw a mom just like sitting there chilling? Yeah. For in the middle of the day, and not having to be like, I just finished the dishes and I'm about to go to the store. And also I did all this work. Yeah. Like just yeah. But you see, I do just like reading a book, watching some golf. Yeah. I'm not like, what have you done today? Maybe in my head I am, but anyway. Maybe we should. Okay, we're getting off track here. So this is important. Yes, exactly what you're saying, though. What you're saying. I feel you. Yeah. I feel you. Okay, out of all of the performances that you've done and the tours and the creative experiences, what's one lesson the entertainment industry has taught you about identity and self-worth? That's a big question. And there are so many answers to that. I have seen the biggest artists and celebrities in the world be on top of the world and be so lonely and so anxious and so untrusting of anyone. And that I am so grateful that I got to see that because it gives me this sense of, oh my gosh, everyone wants that. Yeah. And there are huge perks and there are a lot of really fun things as well. And at the end of the day, those people don't know who love them for who they are or what they are. And most people want to be around them for what they are. Yeah. So it's just giving me a lot of perspective of yeah, we are who's, we are not what's. And we're human beings, not human doings. And it's really cool to have all that, all the perks of celebrity and all of the things. But at the end of the day, those people aren't they're not free. And I think a lot of people are trying to to find that, um, that are in that position. But yeah, I watched I watched these girls cry, you know, and have the biggest awards around them and be like, but what? Like why? Yeah. You know? So it just I'm very, very grateful that I got to be that close to it and still just like, okay, I'm done. You know, they don't ever get to do that. Yeah. They're just always gonna have to be right there. Yeah. So yeah, I think just seeing the the bigger perspective of of all of it is huge is my lesson. Just knowing your identity is not in what you do. Yeah. I love that. That's huge. You shared the message, you are enough and you matter. Why do you feel that message is especially important right now in today's society? I mean, I think it kind of goes with a little bit of what I just said. I feel like we're all, especially with social media and everyone having access to everyone and everything, and just constantly being thrown like, look what this person did, look what this person did, look what you're not doing, look what you know, and it's like and thinking you know someone because of what you see. Yes, yeah. Yeah. So many, it's just, yeah, we could go down the road. Yeah. Um, yeah, you matter and you're enough. How many times do we say that to other people, but not ourselves? I want to grab everyone and like shake them and be like, you're enough, you matter, you know. And it's not not because of how you look or what you do or who you know. I I feel like, especially as women in this society and culture, we are constantly being fed you're not enough. And so it's just my passion to instill that, especially having a daughter too. Oh yeah. We do affirmations in the mirror. And I know that you know what I'm talking about because you've taken my classes, but I always at the beginning of the day, since she was little, I like put her face in front of the mirror and we do these like daily affirmations for ourselves. And now she'll do them on her own, which is so incredible. And then if I see her looking at me while I'm looking at myself in the mirror, you know, we can easily just start picking ourselves apart. But seeing her little face like looking at me, I'll just stare in the mirror and be like, oh my gosh, you are so beautiful. You are really cool and so powerful. And you should eat more cookies, you know. Like she's like, so like she, it's just so it, it's just such a accountability. So knowing that she's gonna grow up, knowing she's enough and she matters is the biggest, the biggest goal of all. So I want to yell that to everyone. Yeah, yeah. Do whatever it takes to be such a great example of that. And you make everybody feel seen when they take your class. Like you just leave with your head up and so much confidence. I can attest to that. That's all that matters to me. Dance is just the conduit to get people in there, and yeah, it's just so it's so much bigger than that. That's amazing. I'm like, I want to take your class now. Like We gotta go. I'm not a good dancer, but I love dancing. You know what? That's the first thing we'll fix. We'll just turn that one. Just turn that dial. That says you're not good. Yeah. You love dancing. You leave with that. Oh, yeah. I'm gonna come to the club. Well, I make sure that I'm the one that looks the weirdest. Like you should see me in between teaching. I'm like, and I'll just do like the most random stuff so everyone's like, okay, she's the cuckoo one. Yeah. I'm okay. I might just stand there and stare at you and be like, Perfect. I like what's happening. You won't be the only one. Yeah. So who is the most fun artist to tour with or be around backstage? Oh gosh. I get, I mean, that's hard, but I'm about to burp. Go ahead. Oh, yes. After you burp, you just wink and do a little shoulder roll, and everyone's just confused. And then they're like, oh, what just happened? Fascinating. Um I love it. I'm jealous now. I wish I had let one rip. Girl, I do it. Um I am fascinated. That's what I live to do. Just fascinate. Your whole life is a dance. Oh my gosh, it is. And it's amazing. I love that. Thanks. I appreciate that. I'll take it. Do it. Okay, so each tour was very different. Um, but I will say, I think by the time I was on tour with Selena, Selena Gomez, um, she and I had become like best friends. And so it felt like I was just hanging out with best friends, traveling the world, doing what I love. Yeah. Um, so it that was just a very different vibe of a tour because it it felt like, oh my gosh, this is just so fun. I get paid to do this. I get paid to do this. Yeah. And like, who gets to say that? Yeah. Who gets to say, like, oh, I spent a week in Tuscany on our days off at a private villa? Yeah. Yeah. You know? Um, or like we went to Dubai and we it's just I have so many fun memories. It was also really, really hard because she was in a really hard season. So and I always cared more about the person than I did about the job. As you should, yeah. Um, so that could get tricky sometimes. Um, and it was before I really knew good boundaries, so I was like a caretaker. Oh, I could get overwhelmed really easily. Yeah. But that that was probably my my favorite tour. The Taylor Swift tours were so fun. They were they were super different. And Taylor and I were super close by the second tour that I was on with her, and then my other best friend Liz um was on the tour too. So those were the things that like made it. And it was like, oh, I also get to dance. That's cool. You know, it was it just felt really, really special. I'm so grateful that I have the stories that I do and that I got to be close to these people, and I'm still super close with my friend Liz. Like, and she's someone, she's the only person in my whole world that understands that that part of life because she was in it with me, you know. Yeah, yeah. Okay, I I just made a weird face at my sister because I had a realization. You might know our sister. She went on a Taylor Swift. She worked with Taylor Swift and did the costuming for the dancers. Which one? I did it a long time ago. Oh, okay. Reputation. Reputation too. That was after my time. Oh, okay. I was like, my sister might have done your wardrobe. Whoa, that's awesome. I love that. Oh my gosh, I loved the wardrobe people so much. That was so funny. Yeah, I was. You can see my wheels turning like a second. I love it. I love that like you can make those connections. Yeah, I did Taylor's first two tours ever. Okay. So Fabulous and Speak Now. Nice. Yeah. So she was still figuring it all out, like very much. So she was bright eye, bushytail, like 19 on her on the first tour that I was on the first tour. First tour. Why did I say like that wasn't Italian? No, it was not. It was it was gas boss. We love it. We love the garrison. Bon Aqua. Bon Aqua. That's fun to say. Has Frankie seen all of the videos of you dancing or a lot of things? Oh, yeah. She has. And she tries to do the dances too, and it's so cute. And it's also really funny because I have danced or know a lot of like pop artists. And so she thinks I know everyone now. Oh yeah. And she'll be like, Mom, when can we go to his house? And I'm like, that's Justin Timberlake. And I don't actually know him. You know, like really how this works. Oh, can you tell Usher hey from me? And I'm like, sure. Text him immediately. It's so cute. But yes, she loves him. And she'll be like, Mama, there's mommy on stage. You know, it's just so cute. It's so, so cute. Are you on the YouTube? Like, do you have stuff up there? My YouTube. Nice. Yes. I haven't, it's not like on my own channel. Okay. I'm like, I want to see your channel. I want to see like a channel. My channel has some. I need to be better at posting on YouTube. You need an assistant. It's like I need an assistant. Seriously. But my YouTube is more of like the classes I've taught since I've been in Nashville. Okay, cool. Yeah. I teach out of Millennium. Okay. In Nashville. Okay. And then like I do all of my um like private lessons and performance coaching and stuff out of there. I just rent rent the studio, and then the class that I teach is like put on by Millennium.

Contact him for all your entertainment and sound needs. He's ready to party. Okay, so tell us about the film you're working on with Unveiled Productions and what makes this project feel especially meaningful and personal to you. Yeah. So I'm working with this production company, Unveiled Productions. And they are just amazing. They are so inspiring and so authentic. They do dance films. So they're these films don't even have words in them. Okay. But they're short films and they are so powerful and they address things that are very raw and very necessary. And they do it in such a beautiful way that doesn't water down things, but it speaks to it speaks to everyone. And it's it's things that most people have had to work through. So they actually asked me to to choreograph their newest one. And it's I'm I'm just so excited. I'm so freaking honored. Like that is so good. And the reason they asked me is because they saw some work that I've done with um this artist that I absolutely love. Her name is Liv Ritchie, and she everything she does has such meaning to it. Um, she just walked through three pregnancy losses in the last year. And so her songs are all about that. And I have been so honored to get to create um movement. And we've done like movement therapy to process through some of the grief. And now we just finished our second music video that has like it's just it's real, and it's it's I mean, I could just cry thinking about it. She's just such a an amazing woman. She was like, I was grieving and I didn't have anywhere to find someone else that was like going through the same thing because it's something that's like So personal, so personal and not talked about. And it's so it's also so sadly common. Yeah. And so she's kind of opening this this pathway of just like, hey, ugh, yeah. You two? Oh my gosh, okay. Yeah, here's a song that can like help you if you want to process this in a different way. So wow. I've been working on some um really powerful music videos with her, and they saw those, and they're like, Hey, this is kind of some stuff that we do. Um, so that's how I got connected to it. And we're in the very, very, very beginning stages, but we're in the creative process and um in casting and all of that. And they they're self-funded films. Amazing. It's just that's a big deal, which makes it even more meaningful because it's like, okay, we we're doing something so important, even if we're not making money doing it. Well, you have more creative freedom in that as well. A lot more. Yeah. Um, and with that, they still care to pay the the dancers and pay, you know.
