When a ballet teacher told co-host Leila that her back should be straight on the ground, no light shining through and Leila couldn't make it happen, her ballet dreams disappeared. The world of classical ballet is extremely difficult to break into, and for those who do, there's a lot that comes with it. This episode looks at breaking the line. We talk to former ballerina Aesha Ashe, and dance educator and writer Theresa Ruth Howard about ballet, bodies, and skin tone.
