  • Knowledge is Power

    What a fantastic in-depth conversation about the behind the scenes of the life of a professional ballet dancer.

    I only wish I had this type of access and insight into the leaders and choreographers of ballet companies! I do hope current professionals and upcoming ones are taking time into just learning more about what goes on in holding an artistic position in a dance company. What a interesting insight!

  • Crazy fascinating

    I’ve never done ballet but I love watching it. This is a great podcast for fans to learn the wild things about how ballet companies work. I had no idea they were only contracted for a limited number of weeks or the load artistic directors carry! Also LOVE the varied perspectives and diversity. Great to hear from so many women!
