We are 6th Position

We mark episode 10 by talking to Gino, our regular 6P anomaly. Usually the only male in class, its hard for him to go unnoticed and it was difficult for us to not talk about men and ballet, and his own experiences. He also sheds some light on the similarities between ballet and mathematics... Click play or download to hear his story.

When can I go on pointe?

Its a common question all ballet teachers around the world hear, from students of all ages... The answer is the same for everyone who asks this question: That's the wrong question.

The question you should be asking is, "Am I ready for pointe?"

Pointe is an enormous, and often underestimated, commitment. We chat to four of our beginner pointe students to learn what this commitment has meant for them and to get an insight into their very different journeys on the pink satin road.

PLUS, we make a very special masterclass announcement!

For the seventh episode of We are 6th Position, we took a trip down memory lane with our very first lyrical teacher, Sally. From a young age, Sally was dancing on national and international stages, performing on cruise ships, and appearing on television. She knew no other life, but the dance life. So what happens when this life comes to a sudden halt? Like many others before her, dance 'stopped' for Sally at the completion of high school... Click play or download to hear how she story.
