Beyond the Pointe
Two former professional ballerinas sharing experiences as dancers and giving advice to students, parents and current dancers.
Beyond the Pointe
Dr. Ballerina
This week’s episode is a conversation we wish every ballet parent and teacher could hear. We sit down with Sarah's mom, who has a PhD in childhood development, to talk about why ballet isn’t one-size-fits-all. Some children flourish in its structure, while others struggle — and that’s okay. We explore the social dynamics of training, peer relationships, pressure, and how to truly support a child beyond technique and lead roles.
Thanks for hanging out with us on Beyond the Pointe.
