Broche Banter #27 -- Elizabeth from The Whole Pointe
Listen now
Description
Today, on the show, I chat with Elizabeth from The Whole Pointe. We talk about her journey starting ballet at age 14 and getting her first professional contract at age 19. But, that didn’t come without its challenges, and we talk about her experience with disordered eating and how she has rediscovered her self-worth after spending her ballet career at the bottom of the ballet hierarchy. The conversation winds to many lovely topics, including the exciting future possibilities of the budding world of online performances. She now leads the Beyond Ballet community, which is a membership group that helps adult dancers develop positive mindsets to support their lifelong love of ballet through journaling, meditation and visualization. Enjoy!
