I was at Vail. This Bitter Earth was incredible! Definitely a highlight of my dance year!! Did not seem like you just learned it! 😊
Such a delight this podcast is! It’s like going on a weekly ride around your world where delights abound. Love it! Leslie in DC
Love all that you do, James! I’m a former dancer and ABT was my dream company too so it’s such a gift to hear all the bts and get insight into your experiences, opinions and approach to the dancer/artist life. Thank you!
I absolutely adore your podcast, James. Whatever you do - whether you're interviewing a guest and especially solo - you always make me feel like I'm engaging with my bestie. Thanks for the authenticity and insight into your world, plus your beautiful artistry on stage! I've seen you perform a few times in NY, read your book, saw your one one man show in Aspen and love your podcast. You are always so genuine on any platform and in real life ✨💝✨💐
I’ve been a fan of James for years but somehow only recently found his podcast! It’s entertaining and informative. I laugh out loud AND learn a lot about different aspects of the world of ballet. Thank you, James! I hope that you will make more episodes someday and to see you recovered and onstage again in ABT’s fall season!
