    Love the episode on KM&Friends adult summer intensive. So helpful especially for those who are hesitant to invest their time, $$$,and egos (lol). Would you continue this theme and maybe do others? Would be so interested in hearing from someone who did a Ballet With Isabella intensive. Thanks so much for your channel!

  • Great podcast 🖤.

    You guys seem so kind and friendly, I love love Yelena's accent too. The episode with Dancer Strong was good, it'd be so helpful to talk through one or two exercises if you do it again.
