Author: Joanie Sigal May 9, 2025 Duration: 35:32

Dancing since the age of 5, Sybil Stanonis' first love was tap. Taking classes and competing with top level recognition in tap, ballet and jazz throughout childhood; she knew dance was a passion. Her competition success provided her invitations to dance across Russia (Leningrad, Minsk, Moscow ) and Denmark (Tivoli Gardens, Copenhagen).

Her professional credits include 2 seasons as a NFL Cheerleader for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers which involved promotional work and community events. While pursuing & completing her degree in psychology at State University of New York (SUNY) Old Westbury she continued dance by adding to her professional credits dancing with the Knicks City Dancers summer dance events, coaching high school cheerleading and performing with the Fred Astaire Dance Troupe on Long Island, NY.

Moving to Florida and starting a family has shifted Sybil's dance career to instruction/dance therapy.  The curriculum Sybil developed from her education, dance expertise & life experience offers a creative and therapetic approach that teaches skills to last a lifetime. DTWS is currently offered in studio and public & private schools, virtual and also at your location site for team building experiences.

"To Me dancing is a beautiful way of expressing your thoughts, emotions and feelings through movement of our body...There is never any judgement on my dance floor...and it will forever be a part of my journey we call life."

Hosted by Joanie Sigal, The Addiction Podcast-Point of No Return is a raw and necessary conversation about substance use and the path out of it. This isn't a clinical lecture, but a collection of real voices from the heart of the crisis. You'll hear from people who have lived through addiction to opioids, heroin, cocaine, prescription drugs, and fentanyl, sharing their journeys from dependence to recovery. The podcast also makes space for the families and loved ones whose lives are intertwined with this struggle, offering their perspectives on the chaos, the repeated attempts at rehab, and the strategies that finally made a difference. Each episode tackles the complex societal and personal issues surrounding addiction, all while grounding the discussion in tangible hope and practical recovery options. By focusing on these firsthand accounts, Joanie creates a podcast that serves as both a lifeline and a roadmap for anyone touched by this challenge-whether you're seeking help for yourself or striving to understand how to support someone else. Tune in for stories that don't shy away from the darkness but consistently point toward the light of resilience and regained control.
