The European ballet training system has long been admired, but how does it really compare to training in the U.S.? In this episode, we sit down with Stephanie Potreck, founder of Aus Dancers Overseas, to discuss the key differences, the biggest challenges European ballet schools have faced, and how recent scandals have sparked change. We also explore the role of journalists in exposing abuse, the effectiveness of wellness programs, and what it takes to truly reform ballet education. If you’ve ever considered European training for your dancer, this is an episode you won’t want to miss.
You can learn more about Stepanie and Aus Dancers Overseas on their website.
