In this episode we discuss the pros and cons of social media and how it is impacting our industry. Have we gone too far with living our lives on social media and do we feel pressured to share every class we take? In the Spotlight this week is megastar Brodie Donougher, star of Billy Elliot. behind the headlines this week; Business rates cut but not for theatres, Burlesque tour delayed and England bring back the Dance World Cup!

In this episode the topic is (one of many discussions to come) about boys in dance. I address ignorant/uneducated opinions that are potentially damaging to boys who dance. Listen as I discuss dancewear, dance belts, changing rooms, social situations, being singled out and the dreaded saying, "PEEPEE POINTS!" I also address the latest news through 'behind the headlines' as well as participating in my very own quick fire questions! If you have anything you would like me to discuss or have any questions for me or would like some support, I would love to hear from you. behindthebarre5678@gmail.com

Before we dive deep into conversations about the industry, it feels only right to start at the beginning...

In the very first episode of Behind The Barre, I share details about my own journey, from my first experience of the sights and smells of the theatre, the journey my career has taken me on, to building Phoenix Boys, working across television, theatre and dance, and the lessons learnt along the way. This is just the beginning. Welcome to Behind The Barre. New episodes regularly, please like and subscribe to stay in the loop.
