- My 9 year old ballet boy and I love your podcast
This is the best resource I have found and words cannot express my gratitude. I have made it through all episodes and we have listened to many twice. I found this podcast shortly after taking my son to an open audition for Nashville Ballet’s Nutcracker in 2024. We live over an hour away and thought this would just be a good experience for our son. We expected he would be a mouse and we could graciously say “no thank you we live too far,” but he was cast as Fritz. Then he fell in love. I st... more

Apple Podcasts5★❤︎︎theater kid florence❤︎︎★United States10 months ago - So grateful I found this podcast!!!
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!
Apple Podcasts5madrepajaroUnited Statesa year ago - Lifting the veil
This is the podcast that every week, I eagerly listen to and make sure not to miss. As a parent of a teenager hoping to have a professional dance career, I wish this podcast existed years ago. Having a family with a STEM background, we knew little of the arts and how to prepare for a future in dance. Jenny and Brett’s podcasts have been illuminating. I appreciate that they don’t hold back asking their guests the hard questions about the ballet community that many are too afraid to ask. The ... more
Apple Podcasts5TachydocUnited Statesa year ago - So Grateful
This has become a favorite on our ride to dance and competitions. The insight into world of ballet has been both enlightening and comforting. I say enlightening because it has demystified some of the concerns and impressions we had of the dance world. 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
