#12 Leanne Cope on Ballet, Broadway & Beating your Fears
Listen now
Description
Episode 12 features the fabulous and fantastic Leanne Cope. Leanne danced with The Royal Ballet for 12 years before she was plucked from the flock of swans in 2015 to star as the original Lise in Christopher Wheeldon's An American in Paris. From Broadway to Westend Leanne hasn't stopped performing and has rare and valuable insight on moving from Classical Ballet to Musical Theatre. She shares not only lessons from her ballet days but how she handled the transition from Corps de Ballet to a principle in a new musical 1000's of miles from home.  Leanne's honesty is touching and its so refreshing to be reminded that even our idols cry, get scared and have their body hang ups. Leanne's outlook on how she wants to teach is encouraging and exciting and gives me hope of positive change in the dance world. INSTAGRAM @leannemcope @redlips.highkicks
