He was on the cover of Vogue. Twice. The youngest principal dancer at New York City Ballet. Performing at the White House. Called the Golden Boy by The New York Times.
Chase Finlay has never spoken openly about any of this. Until now. In this raw, deeply honest conversation, Chase pulls back the curtain on what it really took to reach the top of the ballet world — the 6-day-a-week grind starting at age 8, moving alone to Manhattan at 17, and the relentless pressure to perform no matter what was happening inside.
But this episode goes far beyond dance. Chase opens up about the addiction that quietly consumed his career, the oversexualization and exploitation he experienced as a teenager inside one of the world's most prestigious companies, the scandal that ended his time at New York City Ballet, and the moment he stood in a bathroom , in a detox room, and finally asked — how the hell did I get here?
What's on the other side of that moment is even more powerful.
