We’re back with part 2 of our episode on ballet myth busting. We started with this one: “there’s one body type for ballet.” We asked Peter LeBreton Merz, artistic director of Eglevsky Ballet and former director of Ballet West Academy, and Racheal Nye, director of Oklahoma City Ballet’s Yvonne Chouteau School and Studio Company, whether that’s true. They also answer your questions about competitions, training in Europe, whether big donations buy better casting and whether Vaganova is the only method that works.

Find the full interview wherever you get the Ballet Help Desk Podcast or see link in bio.

For sure, Vaganova is not the only method that works. But it's a bestseller.
