In today’s episode I sit down with Artist in Residence Rachel Richardson from ABT, one of the world's leading ballet companies. Rachel was born and raised in Eugene. We talk about her early training and her road to ABT. We discuss freedom in dance and where that comes from. We talk about class mentality and competitive dancers. I ask about her favorite ballets and what she enjoys about ABT. And finish with what it's like to be exposed to culture from around the world due to the abundances of diversity in dance. It was a joy speaking with her, enjoy the episode.
