PODCASTS

One Step At A Time

Once every two weeks, we are producing podcasts that will highlight the diversity problem and stereotypes in the ballet world by exploring the standards and change, illustrating experiences, and interviewing professional and student dancers. These podcasts will mainly underscore the importance of eliminating racism, breaking stereotypes and increasing diversity in ballet, and what we can do to contribute to it with real stories of real people. 
 
The podcasts are available on Spotify as well as Apple Podcast, Google Podcast, RadioPublic, Breaker, and Overcast.
