After Class with Ballet for All

In this episode we're joined by Janine Kovac, a former professional ballerina and author of The Nutcracker Chronicles. We talk all about her book - a beautifully honest memoir of her life as a dancer - and the experiences and lessons she's gleaned from a lifetime spent in the ballet world. From learning to listen to her body to embracing joy in the studio environment, Janine shares her most poignant insights with us. It's a conversation for all ballet nerds, so grab your coffee & join us!  ◡̈ 

The Nutcracker Chronicles is available on Amazon & anywhere books are sold. Purchase your copy here. (It's the perfect Christmas present for fellow ballet-lovers!)
