Major Business Podcast
Welcome to the Major Business Podcast, where we talk all things HBCU dance —from strategy, structure, leadership, performance, and training. Hosted by Vershion F. Lee, the podcast explores the business, culture, and impact of majorette or HBCU dance through conversations with coaches, dancers, choreographers, trainers, and industry professionals. Each episode provides insight, education, and real conversations designed to elevate dancers, parents, band directors, coaches, and programs at the community team, high school, and collegiate levels. It’s not gossip — it’s education.
