Description

It's the season five series finale!!! We can't believe that we've come to the end of another season of Open Barre - but here we are! Thank you to all of our amazing listeners, guests, and of course our wonderful sponsors, Dansez. We have such a special guest joining us for the finale - none other than the Nutcracker Prince himself - William Bracewell. As Principal dancer with The Royal Ballet, William is one of the few Principal male dancers to star at both Birmingham Royal Ballet and The Royal Ballet. We find out what this journey has been like and Brandon reminisces on his memories of Billy during their time at BRB together. Julia wonders if seeming real on stage comes naturally to a dancer...
