  • Tights Under: Going Pro with LeeAnaca Moore and Natalie Bowman

    Tights Under: Going Pro with LeeAnaca Moore and Natalie Bowman
    2026/02/11

    LeeAnaca "Lee" Moore (Pacific Northwest Ballet) and Natalie Bowman (St. Louis Ballet) are the duo behind Tights Under, the popular social media account showcasing the realities of pre-professional and professional ballet life.

    In this episode, Lee and Natalie get candid about their journeys from training to landing their first professional contracts. They discuss the pivotal moments that shaped their careers, including their transformative (and humbling) experiences at PNB's Professional Division program — where pointe shoes at the barre at 8:30 AM became the new normal.

    The conversation covers the biggest adjustments from student to professional life, from navigating company class dynamics to finally having a "place" instead of constantly fighting for your spot. They're refreshingly honest about early career finances, the reality of needing parental support, and what it takes to make a dancer's salary work.

    Lee and Natalie also share the origin story of Tights Under — how boredom backstage during Swan Lake sparked what became a brand — and what it takes to maintain their content while dancing full-time. They offer practical advice for aspiring dancers interested in building their own social media presence, emphasizing authenticity over perfection.

    From memorable mentorship advice like "dance like you smell good" to their ballet Mount Rushmores, this conversation offers an honest look at what it really takes to go pro.

  • Lynne Charles on English National Ballet School's GAP Programme

    Lynne Charles on English National Ballet School's GAP Programme
    2026/02/04
    Lynne Charles, Artistic Director of English National Ballet School, discusses the school's new Graduate Artist Programme (GAP), a postgraduate program that combines performing with English National Ballet and continued education. Unlike traditional programs where students serve as "free labor," GAP dancers perform with the company while continuing ballet, repertoire, strength training, and audition prep. Lynne shares how ENBS prepares students for professional life, from teaching them to research companies and understand the difference between repertory and choreographer companies, to building sustainable careers through community over competition. She also discusses creating the 4 Pointe method, a holistic approach to pointe work that's reduced injuries by 48% at BYU, and her stance against early competition culture and starting pointe before age 12. Lynne offers refreshingly direct advice on honest teaching, helping dancers showcase their strengths in auditions, and finding companies where they'll thrive. Plus: the school's robust health and wellbeing protocols, the "no phones in the studio" policy, why repertoire class builds community better than variations class, and why being in the corps de ballet is a rite of passage, not a punishment.
