Customer Reviews
Favorite Podcast!!
I started ballet at 14 years old, It’s been nine months and I’m en pointe and beginning to rehearse for the nutcracker! Thank you so much Mrs. Georgia for making such a wonderful podcast!
Listening to this Podcast make my Heart Happy
I’m an adult ballerina who came back to the barre after a 10 year break. This podcast resonates with so much of my experience and is a highlight of every week. I can’t help but smile, laugh, and sometimes cry when listening. I know the 50th episode was the most impactful as I cried along with you Georgia as you spoke about your dear friend. We all have those life changing members of our adult community who bring it together! I cannot wait for future episodes and the opportunity to cross the global and see ballet from the other side.
Hello from Texas
I found your podcast through the PBT Facebook group when someone shared the interview with Marie Walton-Maher. While listening to it, I found your voice to be so incredibly soothing. My life is very busy. I have 5 children that I homeschool, I teach ballet 3 nights a week and my husband and I own/run a youth baseball organization. Being able to hear your soothing voice at the end of my day (or sometimes the beginning) helps me relax and I always take away something positive from each episode. Thank you for sharing yourself with so many all around the world. You are truly an inspiration!
