Gr@d student ,

A great addition to adult ballet conversation!

Sasha, aka @thelongshotballerina is a great addition to the adult ballet podcast world! I particularly loved the episode about authenticity. If you aren’t following her on instagram, I recommend you do! And listen to her podcast!! I’ve been enjoying all the episodes. She’s a great conversationalist, and really comes across as authentic and engaging. Go follow her, and listen to her podcast.
