In every ballet studio, there is a wall of mirrors. It reflects the people within. They’re part of a closed, elite group that asks for sacrifice and devotion from its members. This insular community produces iconic artists. It’s founded on a strict power structure, often with one man at the top. By tracing the origins of this unusual lifestyle, starting with the legacy of choreographer George Balanchine and the intimate stories of young dancers, we expose the beauty of an artform and the complexity of ballet culture.

    PART TWO - "I would experiment a little. I would go to the theater, and the lights would go down, and I would say, 'Okay, I'm going to give you my mood. I'm going to give you all these troubles, and you do something with it,' said I to the stage. And then I would walk out, and I felt like somebody had rinsed me."For more content, follow us on Instagram @RococoPunchTRANSCRIPT - https://www.rococopunch.com/turningtranscripts

Exceptionally done and captivating in an extrordinary way.

I listened to the first season when it came out and got completely pulled in by the story. Excellent interviews, well thought out structure and interesting and important discussions and questions. I was very doubtful about this second season. It felt like the first one was so monumental and such a finished piece I really didn’t want a second season that could disappoint me. Now I’m just happy I decided to give it a shot as well, because the second season was done with as much heart and amazing work that once again has moved me to tears and action more than once.
