This week on The Balanced Ballerinas Podcast, I’m honoured to share a conversation with the legendary Lynne Charles as we launch our new mini-series, The Art & Impact of Ballet Teaching. Lynne’s career is nothing short of extraordinary—dancing with American Ballet Theatre, London Festival Ballet, and as a principal with Hamburg Ballet and Deutsche Oper Ballet. But it’s the teacher she’s become that truly inspired this episode.   _____ Join the Balanced Ballerinas EXCLUSIVE Teachers Facebook Group here: https://www.facebook.com/groups/balancedballerinasteachers My Instagram! @thebalancedballerina Community Instagram! @balancedballerinas Facebook - Balanced Ballerinas And join the SECRET Facebook group here: https://www.facebook.com/groups/balancedballerinas/ Join the Balanced Ballerinas FREE 5 Day Challenge here: www.balancedballerinas.com/challenge Prenatal, healing or beginner ballet student?

🚨 A Must-Listen for Dance Parents 🚨 Not all studios are safe. Not all teachers have your child’s best interests at heart. And too many parents don’t realise the risks - until it’s too late. In our final instalment of the Difficult Conversation series, this episode is the wake-up call every dance parent needs. In this solo episode (an open letter to parents), I pull back the curtain on grooming, abuse, and safeguarding in the dance world, sharing the red flags to watch for and the choices that can truly protect young dancers. If you’re a parent, teacher, or studio owner, I urge you to listen. This conversation is difficult - but necessary. ___ Join the Balanced Ballerinas EXCLUSIVE Teachers Facebook Group here: https://www.facebook.com/groups/balancedballerinasteachers My Instagram! @thebalancedballerina Community Instagram! @balancedballerinas Facebook - Balanced Ballerinas And join the SECRET Facebook group here: https://www.facebook.com/groups/balancedballerinas/ Join the Balanced Ballerinas FREE 5 Day Challenge here: www.balancedballerinas.com/challenge Prenatal, healing or beginner ballet student?
