Inside the Qatar World Cup – Episode 1

Ballet demands absolute sacrifice. Dancers push the limits of the human mind and body in the relentless pursuit of perfection. For journalist Nicky Anderson, a childhood love for ballet has become a lifelong fascination, a fascination that has always drawn her back to one place: the New York City Ballet. Home to some of the greatest works of the modern age, its legacy was shaped by the genius of its founder, the so-called father of American ballet, George Balanchine. But behind the beauty lies a more complicated truth. Across its 76-year history, the New York City Ballet has faced allegations of power misuse, a major lawsuit, and an investigation into sexual harassment and physical and verbal abuse by a former Ballet Master-in-Chief. Yet, the real story isn’t in the headlines. It’s in the voices of those who were there, the dancers who lived it. You see, this isn’t just a story about ballet. It’s about devotion, ambition, and the cost of surrendering yourself entirely to something. It’s about the people who graced that famous stage - and what became of them. From Stak, this is Season Three of the award-winning Legacy: Dancing with Shadows. Extraordinary sporting stories that really matter.<hr> Hosted on Acast.
