“While I enjoy the podcast as a whole and am loving getting a peek into the way that companies and bridge programs work, I just loved listening to this one with PBT director Adam McKinney.

“Love this podcast! Just listened to the ADC/IBC episode with Peter Merz. ADC is our preferred competition because of the holistic nature of adjudication and the vibe that they really care about their dancers. Peter was a great interviewee. I love candid people!!”

“For a parent and dancer, the ballet field is difficult to navigate when there is so little information available. The Ballet Helpdesk has been a wonderful resource for us to better understand how to navigate this field. Thank you so much for conducting the interviews and providing so much insight!”

“Wow, just listened to the interview with Peter Stark and I learned so much! My son did his first summer intensive in ‘22 and I realized then that I knew nothing about professional ballet and what it takes to get there. You have tapped into something with this podcast that is so valuable. Thank...”Read full review »

“Take your parental known unknowns, add the info you learned in the waiting area during an audition, sprinkle in your own knowledge from 3 or more years of SIs, bake in the Facebook group knowledge you’ve gleaned from a trustworthy(?) poster, splash it with what your studio has or hasn’t told you...”Read full review »
