In this episode, we discuss what we have learned from taking ballet class in our kitchens, share our favorite cross-training routines, and fantasize about our hopes for the future of the ballet world post-COVID 19.

Liz and Natalie are joined by sophomore Jack Grohmann to discuss all things IU Ballet Theater!

Update: This episode was recorded prior to Indiana University's decision to switch to online learning for the remainder of the spring semester due to COVID-19. We are extremely disheartened to share that we will not be debuting Sasha Janes' Cinderella as discussed in the podcast. While we will not get to perform this ballet, we are so proud of Sasha for putting together such a special production and we look forward to the day it will be seen by audiences! Until then, we hope that everyone stays safe and healthy.
