The Bookish Ballerina Podcast was created to investigate various aspects of ballet, art, culture, and science. Although it has the same goal, today's episode follows a slightly different format.

Several new episodes of this nature will be coming over the next few months, where ballet laymen interview ME concerning the ins and outs of ballet - why it is important, how to best enjoy it, its origin, and many other topics. Today, I am interviewed by two of my teaching assistants concerning ballet, authorship, and several other topics.

If you would like to be involved in a future Laymen Talk Ballet episode, please contact me through Instagram at @the.bookish.ballerina or @the.bookish.ballerina.podcast.

Also, feel free to leave a rating or review, and check out our new Buy Me a Coffee page at www.buymeacoffee.com/the.bookish.ballerina to learn more ways to support the podcast. We are currently working on improving the audio quality and increasing the number of episodes produced, so any support is much appreciated!

Enjoy!
