Ballet is a space that thrives secrets, and this becomes extremely challenging to navigate for parents and children who want to peruse the art form professionally.

I also appreciate your questions and thoughtfulness throughout the interview.

I had them listen to this episode of your podcast and it opened up some space for a much needed conversation and encouragement for self- advocacy when I am not around.
