In the wake of all the conversations around ballet competitions, you might find our most recent podcast episode worth a listen. We chatted with Kathryn Morgan, former New York City Ballet and Miami City Ballet soloist to hear what she had to say about a whole host of issues surrounding ballet competitions and social media fame. We cover how competition judging and scoring actually works, the pressure on young dancers to build a following, what it takes to get noticed by a professional school, and why she thinks ballet is struggling to hold onto its next generation. Part one of this two-part episode is out now wherever you get the Ballet Help Desk Podcast or see link in comments.
