  • Uplifting, informative, realistic!

    The Busy Bunhead “After class” podcast has given me so much inspiration and comfort through the beginning of my adult pointe journey! It helped me realise how “in my head” I was about silly things, and gave me more confidence to trust myself and the hard work I’ve put into dance. Hannah is so funny, and the podcasts are easy and interesting to listen to. Wherever you are in your Ballet journey, I highly recommend this podcast ! -Rebecca

  • Scripts feel AI written

    I was so excited about this podcast because the topic is right up my alley, but unfortunately I was really turned off by the script of this podcast, which feels very AI-written. I hope the busy bunhead reads this and that she rethinks how she writes her scripts. I would be so much happier to listen to and support her podcast if her personality came through and the podcast was a lot more human and personable, with the creator’s unique personality and mannerisms shining through.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Ep. 118 - Making Time for Ballet When Your Life Is Already Full, with Rebecca Holden
Q: What tips can help someone make time for training while being a parent?
Critical tips include planning ahead, securing support from a partner, communicating needs to the family, creating a routine with core classes, and using adaptable options like drop-ins and in-home practice when necessary.
Ep. 112 - Your Adult Ballet Photoshoot Guide with Professional Photographer Katie Ging 📷
Q: How should dancers prepare physically and mentally on the day of the shoot?
Warm up well, arrive early but not too early, and keep the session relaxed with a focus on collaboration, letting the photographer guide you while you stay open to trying different ideas.
Ep. 112 - Your Adult Ballet Photoshoot Guide with Professional Photographer Katie Ging 📷
Q: What kinds of footwear or outfits work best for dance photo shoots?
Comfort and confidence are key; barefoot, pointe shoes, or street clothes can all be appropriate depending on the pose and vibe, and you should avoid something new you're not used to, like trying pointe for the first time in a shoot.
Ep. 112 - Your Adult Ballet Photoshoot Guide with Professional Photographer Katie Ging 📷
Q: Would you say it's best to look for a photographer with dance experience versus someone who's done headshots or other genres?
Yes, a photographer with dance knowledge can provide more guidance, coach you through poses in dancer-friendly terms, and help you achieve natural, graceful results that align with ballet aesthetics.
Ep. 113 - Hyperextended Legs in Ballet: What's Not Explained in Class... with Shane Wuerthner
Q: Beyond technique, how should adults think about training and mindset to stay positive when dealing with hyperextended knees?
Adopt acceptance of your body's differences, restructure training to prioritize movement quality over perfection, and use safer, progressive practice that protects joints. Focus on mobility, strength around the knee, and enjoyable aspects of dancing rather than chasing idealized lines that aren't feasible for your anatomy.
