A brand-new season of City Ballet The Podcast launches today with a fresh New Combinations conversation between Associate Artistic Director Wendy Whelan and Resident Choreographer Justin Peck. Commissioned by Miami City Ballet a decade ago, Peck is in the midst of rehearsing his Heatscape for its NYCB stage debut, with the help of original dancers and coaches Michael Sean Breeden, Patricia Delgado, and Jeannette Delgado. He shares what drew him to Bohuslav Martinů's Piano Concerto No. 1, a piece that both references earlier works and prefigures musical changes to come—an interesting parallel to Peck's Miami-inspired choreography and collaboration with artist Shepard Fairey on the ballet's scintillating backdrop.

Do you ever feel like you're not good enough yet to really enjoy ballet class? You're not alone — many adult dancers carry the belief that joy in ballet has to be earned through progress, achievement, or “getting good." In this episode, we're digging into the psychology behind that mindset and exploring why joy isn't just a reward at the end of the journey, but a powerful tool for growth.You'll learn practical ways to reclaim joy in your dancing right now, whether you're brand new to ballet or returning after years away. Plus, we'll talk about why your joy doesn't just benefit you — it's also a gift to your classmates, your teachers, and the ballet world as a whole.Because here's the truth: you don't have to earn the right to love ballet. You already belong, and your joy matters.

Il y a ceux pour qui tout semble couler de source… et ceux qui avancent, un pas après l'autre, à la force du travail. Ceux qui ne rentrent pas dans les cases, mais qui finissent par redessiner les contours de leur art.Cédric Andrieux fait partie de ceux-là.Dans ce premier épisode d'un diptyque exceptionnel, Les Sens de la Danse vous emmène à la rencontre d'un danseur au parcours aussi exigeant que passionnant — entre Bretagne, New York et Lyon, entre admiration et transmission, entre rigueur et intuition.Formé au Conservatoire national supérieur de musique et de danse de Paris, Cédric Andrieux rejoint à 21 ans l'une des compagnies les plus mythiques de l'histoire de la danse contemporaine : celle de Merce Cunningham. Dix années d'un travail rigoureux, abstrait, épuré — à l'image du chorégraphe américain qui a bouleversé la relation entre la musique et le mouvement, séparé les disciplines pour en faire surgir de nouveaux possibles.

 Les merveilleuses fêtes de la Renaissance italienne portaient en germe tout l'art du ballet. Au fil des siècles, compositeurs et chorégraphes auront été amenés à unir leur talent dans des mises en scène toujours plus éblouissantes. De cette symbiose sont nées les grandes étoiles du ballet.  Mention légales : Vos données de connexion, dont votre adresse IP, sont traités par Radio Classique, responsable de traitement, sur la base de son intérêt légitime, par l'intermédiaire de son sous-traitant Ausha, à des fins de réalisation de statistiques agréées et de lutte contre la fraude.

Tarik and Ann start this week's tour of Milwaukee food news with a trip to the Caribbean ... sort of. The tropically minded cuisine will get a soul-food twist at new restaurant Jerkin' Me Crazy, which is set to open on Center Street this October. The concept from restaurateur Darryl Simmons will offer baked mac and cheese, chicken done three ways (jerk, curry, stew) and Caribbean-inspired cocktails — with some live jazz thrown in for good measure.Moving from Center Street to 3rd Street, the popular food hall just got a new tenant in Bebe Zito, the Minneapolis-based burger/ice cream joint from Ben Spangler and former MIAD student Gabriella Grant. When you stop by the new stall at the 3rd Street Market Hall, expect burgers (obviously), chicken sandwiches and ice cream flavors that can get a little unconventional.We also got another grand opening from a place we've talked about on the pod before: Summer of '85, the flashback-themed bar/restaurant on MLK Drive that features a patio, arcade, DJ booth and menu with plenty of nods to the 1980s. The Pee Wee's Big Adventure homage, “The Large Marge” (an oversized hibiscus/prickly pear margarita), is a personal favorite.Finally, we chat about the rebrand in the Deer District (Good City is now Explorium Distilled), as well as Ann's captivating interview with Birch chef de cuisine Zach Castillo in the print version of Milwaukee Magazine. The two got into Castillo's past as a ballerino (a male ballet dancer) and how the discipline required by the pursuit carried over to his next phase in the food world.

Think sweating more = better results? Or that lifting will make you “too bulky”? You're not alone. If you've ever felt like your body's either “too much” or “not enough,” or struggled to balance training for aesthetics with training for strength, this episode is a must-listen.I sat down with Emily Duncan, fitness coach, entrepreneur, and host of EmBody Radio, to talk about what women are really up against when it comes to body image, fitness trends, and self-trust.We unpack why “bulky” is one of the biggest myths in fitness, how to separate discipline from obsession, and why balance is overrated (and harmony is where the real results happen). We also talk about why motivation is never enough on its own, and the systems we can use to stay consistent without burning out.Emily Duncan is a fitness coach, entrepreneur, and podcast host who has been creating online for over 12 years.

Back from holiday, full of ideas… but second-guessing everything? You’re not alone. In this energising and heart-to-heart episode, Stacey and Rhee take on one of the hardest parts of leadership as a dance studio owner—sticking to your vision, even when it ruffles a few feathers. Whether you're restructuring your comp team, changing your schedule, or raising fees, someone will have an opinion. The question is—are you confident enough to move forward anyway? With stories, practical tips, and a healthy dose of dance teacher truth bombs, this episode is your reminder that your studio doesn’t run on parent approval—it runs on your passion and leadership. Key Takeaways: Confidence is the secret sauce. You had a vision—don’t let other people’s doubts drown it. Mrs. Smith isn’t forever. You’re building for the next five years, not next week’s car park conversation. Backpacks full of resentment are heavy. If you’re exhausted, it’s time to let go of what no longer fits. Your vision deserves better marketing. Speak it clearly. Write it down. Share it with conviction. Who you surround yourself with matters. Not everyone is meant to come with you to the next level. This Episode is for You If: You're toying with a big change—but worried how parents or staff might react. You’ve ever lost sleep over feedback from a loud (but temporary) voice in your studio. You’re ready to reclaim your leadership, your energy, and your studio’s future. You know it’s time for a reset—and you’re looking for a loving nudge to do it.
