Silas Farley walked away from his performing career while he was arguably at the top of his game. In this thoughtful and deeply personal conversation, Farley—former New York City Ballet dancer and current choreographer, educator, and leader—reflects on his journey through the ballet world. He shares how his cultural background shaped his experience, the pressures of representation, and what ultimately led him to step away from the stage at a young age. Silas opens up about the emotional challenges of transition, the role of faith and mentorship, and why he's committed to building a more inclusive and emotionally intelligent future for ballet. We also explore how training can evolve without losing its rigor, and what he'd say to a young boy considering dance today. This is a must-listen for anyone questioning what it means to succeed in ballet—and how to define that for yourself.

The Swans of Harlem: Five Black Ballerinas, Fifty Years of Sisterhood, and the Reclamation of Their Groundbreaking History   By:  Karen ValbyThe forgotten story of a pioneering group of five Black ballerinas, the first principals in the Dance Theatre of Harlem, who traveled the world as highly celebrated stars in their field and whose legacy was erased from history until now.At the height of the Civil Rights movement, Lydia Abarça was a Black prima ballerina with a major international dance company—the Dance Theatre of Harlem. She was the first Black ballerina on the cover of Dance magazine, an Essence cover star, cast in The Wiz  and on Broadway with Bob Fosse. She performed in some of ballet's most iconic works with her closest friends—founding members of the company, the Swans of Harlem, Gayle McKinney, Sheila Rohan, Marcia Sells, and Karlya Shelton—for the Queen of England and Mick Jagger, with Josephine Baker, at the White House, and beyond.Some forty years later, when Lydia's granddaughter wanted to show her own ballet class evidence of her grandmother's success, she found almost none, but for some yellowing photographs and programs in the family basement. Lydia had struggled for years to reckon with the erasure of her success, as all the Swans had. Still united as sisters in the present, they decided it was time to share their story themselves.Captivating, rich in vivid detail and character, and steeped in the glamor and grit of professional ballet, The Swans of Harlem  is a riveting account of five extraordinarily accomplished women, a celebration of their historic careers, and a window into the robust history of Black ballet, hidden for too long. During Covid, five ballerinas met weekly on Zoom and formed the 152nd Street Black Ballet Legacy Council. Karen Valby joined them and wrote their story “Karen Valby's The Swans of Harlem brings to life the stories of Black dancers whose contributions to the world of ballet were silenced, marginalized, and otherwise erased. Karen introduces readers to important figures of our past, while inspiring us to courageously chase our dreams.”Misty Copeland“These five original Dance Theatre of Harlem ballerinas fell in love with an art form that most of America believed was white and should remain so. Upon Arthur Mitchell's founding of an all-Black company in 1969, they eagerly took their places at the barre and challenged themselves to the utmost. They triumphed. They showed that Blacks could not only excel at classical ballet but could also shape the art in their own vibrant image. Karen Valby weaves their stories together as a choreographer would: the women form an ensemble, yet each gets her own riveting solo. It's thrilling to watch as they join forces at last and claim their unique place in American ballet's past, present and future.”—Margo Jefferson152nd Street Black Ballet Legacy FoundationThe 152nd St. Black Ballet Legacy is an independent non-profit organization created by five trailblazing Black ballerinas.  Their professional careers began at the founding of Dance Theatre of Harlem, where their sisterhood was born.  They have enjoyed and nurtured their sisterhood for over 50 years and continue to thrive for the sake of preserving our their rich history.Lydia Abarca Mitchell is a founding member of the Dance Theatre of Harlem and their first prima ballerina. She danced leading roles in George Balanchine's Agon, Bugaku, Concerto Barocco, Allegro Brillante, Tchaikovsky Pas de Deux, and Swan Lake, Jerome Robbins' Afternoon of a Faun, Ruth Page's Carmen and Jose, William Dollar's Le Combat, and Arthur Mitchell's Ode to Otis, Holberg Suite, and Biosfera. She was featured on the cover of DanceMagazine, in the movie The Wiz, and on Broadway in Bob Fosse's Dancin'.  It was a stunning career on the world stage.Karen Valby Author of Welcome to Utopia, and contributor to The New York Times; O, The Oprah Magazine; Glamour; Fast Company; and Entertainment WeeklyDance Theater of HarlemThe Dance Theater of Harlem was founded in 1969, during the Civil Rights movement by Arthur Mitchell and Karel Shook.Harlem School of the ArtsElizabeth Howard, Producer and Host of the Short Fuse Podcast Elizabeth Howard is the producer and host of the Short Fuse Podcast, conversations with artists, writers, musicians, and others whose art reveals our communities through their lens and stirs us to seek change.

It was a criticism about her Afro-braided hair that led Ruth Essel to create what she calls a safe space for Black dancers. 正是对她的非洲辫子头发的批评促使露丝·埃塞尔为黑人舞者创造了她所谓的安全空间。The founder of Pointe Black Ballet School in London said when she was a child, teachers and others all but punished her for not following the traditional ballerina way. 伦敦黑角芭蕾舞学校的创始人表示，当她还是个孩子的时候，老师和其他人几乎都因为她不遵循传统芭蕾舞演员的方式而惩罚她。“I'll never forget my first time about to dance on a West End stage,” said Essel. That was the time the 10-year-old wore her hair braided at dance practice. Her mother had spent her last $120 to get her hair done. “我永远不会忘记我第一次在西区舞台上跳舞，”埃塞尔说。那时，10岁的女孩在练习舞蹈时把头发编成辫子。她的母亲花了最后 120 美元来做头发。 Her happiness disappeared when her teacher pointed at her in an almost all-white group of dancers. The teacher told her to take out her braids because it looked like “a mess.” 当她的老师在一群几乎全是白人的舞者中指着她时，她的快乐消失了。老师让她把辫子拔掉，因为它看起来“一团糟”。 That was just one of several times Essel was made to feel bad about being different. “These are all things that happened before I was 16 years old, and I didn't know any better,“ she said. 这只是埃塞尔数次因为与众不同而感到难过的事件之一。“这些都是我16岁之前发生的事情，我当时不知道更多，”她说。These difficulties led Essel to establish Pointe Black in 2020 at the age of 26. 这些困难促使 Essel 在 26 岁时于 2020 年创立了 Pointe Black。“I wanted there to be a Black environment. I wanted there to be people who looked like me. I wanted there to be a teacher that looked like me,” she said.“我希望有一个黑人环境。我希望有人看起来像我。我希望有一位像我一样的老师，”她说。 She said it felt like she was given power when she could finally wear black clothes and shoes rather than the traditional pink color for ballerinas, “because it was closer to my color.” 她说，当她终于可以穿黑色的衣服和鞋子而不是芭蕾舞鞋的传统粉色时，感觉就像被赋予了力量，“因为它更接近我的颜色。” Ballet has expanded across the world with famous ballet dancers from Asia, South America, and Cuba. But many still think of ballet dancers as light skinned. And classical ballet companies try to have a similar look for dancers in classical works like Swan Lake. That makes it harder for dancers of color. 芭蕾舞已扩展到世界各地，来自亚洲、南美和古巴的著名芭蕾舞演员也纷纷加入。但许多人仍然认为芭蕾舞演员肤色较浅。古典芭蕾舞团也试图在《天鹅湖》等古典作品中为舞者打造类似的造型。这让有色人种舞者变得更加困难。 Some 2.2 percent of dancers at the top four ballet companies in Britain are of Black ancestry. That percentage is in line with the country's Black population at 3 percent, said Sandie Bourn of Britain's Society for Dance Research in 2017. 英国四大芭蕾舞团的舞者中约有 2.2% 是黑人血统。英国舞蹈研究协会的桑迪·伯恩 (Sandie Bourn) 2017 年表示，这一比例与该国 3% 的黑人人口比例一致。 A spokesperson noted that keeping diversity is important to everyone at The Royal Academy of Dance, saying “Dance is for everybody.” 一位发言人指出，保持多样性对皇家舞蹈学院的每个人都很重要，并表示“舞蹈适合每个人。”But Essel wants to speed up change by introducing new ideas. She said her shows use African dances and music. And dancers wear different hairstyles, including twists, rolls and afros. She added, “… it's really just about celebrating the person no matter where they come from.” 但埃塞尔希望通过引入新想法来加速变革。 她说她的节目使用非洲舞蹈和音乐。 舞者有着不同的发型，包括麻花、卷发和爆炸式发型。 她补充道，“……这实际上只是为了庆祝这个人，无论他们来自哪里。” Maya Beale-Springe is a 10-year-old student at Pointe Black and another ballet school. She enjoys exploring different kinds, or types, of ballet. 玛雅·比尔-斯普林格 (Maya Beale-Springe) 是 Pointe Black 和另一所芭蕾舞学校的 10 岁学生。 她喜欢探索不同种类或类型的芭蕾舞。 “I get to experience different types of ballet, different music,” she said after a perfect practice for an upcoming show. “我可以体验不同类型的芭蕾舞、不同的音乐，”她在为即将到来的演出进行完美练习后说道。 Essel teaches all the classes in her school. She said, “Everything about my school is what my younger self would have wanted.” 埃塞尔教授学校的所有课程。 她说：“我学校的一切都是我年轻时想要的。”

“Dance is for everyone. That's the mission. We see people that might not be able to encounter dance in so many ways because it's not something that their school offers. I had a family that subscribed to the New York City Ballet, most families don't do that, so for us to be able to offer that level of exposure…and I think traditionally ballet has felt like it can be an elitist art form. Only certain people are invited. You have to have a certain type of foot. You have to have a long neck. You may have to have finances to be able to study ballet. We would like to eliminate that and make sure that it's available for everybody to sort of dip their toe in and get a sense of it and have an experience of dance.”Artistic Director of Pacific Northwest Ballet and director of PNB's Ballet School, Peter Boal was raised in Bedford, New York.

The hosts chat with child actor and ‘Little Ricky' on I Love Lucy, Keith Thibodeaux. Keith was beloved as the son of Lucy and Ricky Ricardo on the much loved program and later, went on to play Johnny Paul Jason on The Andy Griffith Show. Keith started his career at a very young age playing drums professionally at only 3 years old traveling and eventually getting the role that changed his life. He discusses his time on the show, his relationships with Lucille Ball, Desi Arnaz and their children. Most importantly, Keith discusses the huge role God plays in his life since becoming a born again Christian, meeting his wife, playing with his band (David and the Giants), forgiving his father and mending that relationship and opening up a ballet school dedicated to dancing for Christ. Truly an inspiring story from a man who went through a lost patch and came out the other side with grace.

In spite of great success at ballet, Elizabeth Druker's journey through years of ballet training, and dancing with the most famous dancers and in world-famous dance productions in New York City and elsewhere, showed her that she was not 100% satisfied in doing just that; when she began to teach ballet is when she knew she'd discovered what she really was meant to do in the world of dance. She has taught well over 100 students, loves her job and is sure she will never stop.

Now I'm really excited to bring you today's guest because he's one of those rare master teachers who can actually relate to dancers that begin their training as a young adult. I always have so much respect for those that find dance a little later in life and had to persevere and persist amongst other dancers who had been training their whole life. I can't relate to my clients who start ballet later in life as I began ballet classes from the age of three. I honestly don't know what it's like to not know what a plié is! Sometimes I find it hard to relate to an adult ballerina who begins their journey at the age of 25, 35 or 85 years old and sometimes I need to be reminded what it must feel like in order to teach with empathy and sensitivity. Today's guest has this in spades. I had the absolute honour of speaking with William Waldinger (who prefers to be called Bill) who teaches both Ballet and the Luigi Jazz Technique at the Joffrey Ballet School in the Ballet Trainee Program, the Adult Program and the Jazz and Contemporary Program. Bill is also on faculty at the New York Film Academy and has served as the Director of Jazz at the Manhattan Ballet School and the Director of Ballet at the Contemporary company Cora Dance. As a performer, Bill has appeared in musical theatre, commercials, music videos and television. Highlights include many regional and off broadway productions. His flare for Musical Theatre makes him an excellent practitioner when it comes to developing and laying down the fundamentals of classical ballet for his clients who may have a beautiful voice and stunning acting skills but are turned away at auditions because of their lack of dance technique. I can't tell you how many times I've had a parent or student call me in a similar situation and I have to explain that there are no shortcuts when gaining a ballet education. In fact, Bill has written an amazing blog post all about this and I highly recommend checking it out on his blog (wait, how good is this title!) – classicalballetandallthatjazz.com I also recommend checking Bill out on Facebook or Instagram. As a ballet teacher I find his musings and way with words so eloquent, inspiring and relatable. Usually when I'm thinking something (like magic!) he tends to post about it the next day or following week, summarising my thoughts exactly. From my apartment on the Gold Coast in Australia, I spoke to Bill in his New York City apartment about his rather unconventional start in the dance world to his incredible journey into the world of teaching. We touch on his transition to online teaching during this time, but mostly we focus on his story, his passion for keeping it real and his thoughts around teaching both Ballet and traditional Jazz technique. Now, sometimes you might need a pen and paper to jot down notes from a podcast episode, but this is more the kind that goes well with a cup of tea. So sit back and enjoy Bill's fascinating story and passion for teaching. ________________ Get your FREE Balanced Ballerinas 'Intention Setting' worksheet HERE and start kicking GOALS: https://www.balancedballerinas.com/product/balanced-ballerinas-intention-setting-worksheet/ You can find more resources at www.balancedballerinas.com Instagram @thebalancedballerina Podcast @balancedballerinas Facebook - Balanced Ballerinas (ensure you join the *SECRET* Facebook group too!)

Today I’m chatting with Danielle Peazer, professional dancer, personal trainer and fitness influencer. Danielle has danced on stage with some of the biggest names in entertainment, and has gone on to become one of the biggest fitness influencers in the world. What I love about her is her refreshing take on health and fitness: no quick ‘fixes’, moderation, and a sustainable method that makes your body feel good. Her method is rooted in dance and the kind of training that professional dancers do, but it’s for everyone. Short, digestible workouts that you can do at home or on-the-go. Our chat goes over her background as a dancer, how she launched her method, how to train like a dancer, why she’s totally against drastic weight loss, and so much more.

I am so excited to share this interview with the Balanced Ballerinas community because I know there are a lot of adult ballerinas out there who listen to the podcast! Dianne Harrison is the principal of Elancé Adult Ballet School in Melbourne, Victoria. And as you'll hear, she is an astonishing woman. When I arrived at the Mitcham location (Elancé has two studio locations in Melbourne) Dianne took me for a tour of the premise. And it was what adult ballet dreams are made of! After being greeted in the foyer, clients walk through to a designated stretching area with a change room to the left, studio to the centre and a beautiful kitchen and boardroom to the right! Yes, that's correct Dianne has an adult ballet boardroom. After sitting down for our interview, Dianne was making me a cup of tea and I was packing up my podcast equipment. Now, I must have had my thinking face on because Dianne said, 'You look deep in thought, are you okay?' To which I replied, 'I think so... I'm just in awe of what you've built... and a little jealous!' To which she replied, 'My darling, this has taken me 17 years!' And whilst the facilities are amazing, it's also the vibe of Elancé that I find so special. Creating a space exclusively for adult ballerinas is a beautiful thing and as someone who also teaches adults I know the amount of work that goes into creating a space where adult ballerinas are not only seen and heard, but respected. But seriously, what Dianne has built is nothing short of amazing and after our short time together I can say that without a doubt, Dianne is one of the most eloquent, classy, organised and inspiring ladies I've ever met. I truly hope we are friends for years to come. Dianne and I cover a lot of topics in this conversation; starting with her own personal ballet journey, which I'll let her share. We also touched on why adult ballet is having a real moment in the dance world and offer some advice to those embarking on their own adult ballet journey. Personally I thoroughly enjoyed Dianne sharing why she loves teaching adults and she even shared some of the funnier teaching stories, so make sure you listen right to the end for those… I think you're really going to enjoy this one - especially if you're an adult ballerina - but even if you're not, Dianne's tenacity and drive will inspire anyone to follow their heart and foster a life of fulfilment. Sit back with a cup of tea and enjoy Dianne Harrison! www.balancedballerinas.com Instagram / @balancedballerinas & @thebalancedballerina

A rather tense car ride to my new Ballet School. My little sister playing 'rag doll' with me, my brother giving me a whole Ten Shilling note and my mother sobbing and smoking like she would use every cigarette in Surrey. Meeting 'Nursey' and finding out that trendy, short skirts were useless for galloping like a horse around a dance studio.

Evenings at a girls Ballet School for borders. Midnight games, kissing practise 'girl on girl', crushes, making cheese from yoghurts and eventually sleep. . . .

Being at a Ballet School involves many rituals. You also have to know your place in the hierarchy. This is where Aprons came in. Your apron and National Skirts were part of you. Life evolved around the seamstress who inhabited a cramped and warm space at the top of the school, a sort of haven for me. . . .

My first year at Ballet School was tough and my homesickness was extreme.

Miss Marsh was the 'Queen' of the Ballet School. A total character with make-up, hair and clothes creating a terrifying vision that we worshipped and curtseyed every time she passed by.

Royal Ballet audition

My last end of term show. rehearsals take over.

Our school gets invaded by boys. no complaints, quite the distraction.

I go to London for a photo shoot. A solo is choreographed on me.

I meet the most amazing choreographer and dance my heart out.

Late night conversations with the powers that be make me feel less certain of my future.

My final performance at the school.

It's a wrap.

Artists know that their craft can be both an aesthetic and kinesthetic experience. Our brains and bodies change as a result of time spent practicing and performing—this is especially true for children. Today we explore these ideas with Elizabeth Drucker, owner and director of The Ballet School in Topsham and with Dr. Anastasia Antonacos, award-winning recitalist and professor of music at the University of Southern Maine.

41: my age. And I am happy to say also nerdily commemorated with one of the best mixes I've produced in a while. There is some really amazing music on this one. And dare I say, it has mad flow. It makes me feel how much I love music, and not just love some of it and like the rest (because really I do like almost all of it). That's saying a lot. It's one thing to love the sculpture in the out-of-place park on Manhattan's Upper East Side somewhere around Central Park & 115th, but another thing entirely to just love art.This is yet another relatively short one; it is only 42.5 minutes long. But I guess, I figure, why bother making them any particular length? I never have the opportunity to listen to one from start to finish without bookends ever.  I doubt anyone does. So now I have a new standard: make these mixes great without regard for duration. Which neither raises nor lowers the bar, but only changes its position.BiH 41 feat. CC33, Fink, Hebinomichi, John Southworth (one of the best songs this year), X priest X, Paperwhite, Jamie N. Commons, Caribou, Ballet School, Jaako Eino Kalevi, and this one absolutely amazing track that is a crazy mash up of Biggie Smalls, Louis Armstrong, Kwami Liv, and more by I have no idea who (Baby Duka). 

Warning...there is 6 minutes of dead air at the beginning of the podcast.  I messed up and had my mike on mute.  Hey, what do you expect...professional podcasters?????
