    As a newbie ballet mom I’m so grateful I found this podcast! This is our third year of ballet and as my dancer gets older I feel like I have more questions about how to help them progress as a dancer and questions about competitions. Glad I found this podcast to answer some of these questions!

Comforting because this ballet world isn’t as scary as the Hollywood dramas have let us to believe.

    I really appreciate all the work that is put into each episode and how honest the interviews are.

    I even find myself going back to episodes a sec... more

  • PBT episode

    My son will be starting at PBT this Summer as a grad program student, and this episode was super informative and helped me mentally prepare for what his life is going to be like for the next couple of years. It was great hearing how involved Raymond is with the students and how the students are supported. I am excited about this next step in his journey. Thank you Ballet Help Desk!
