One response to “Sarah Wroth: The Impact of State Mandates on IU Dance”
Thank you for this very informative, timely, and much needed podcast with Sarah Wroth.
I currently have 2 students who will be applying to the IU ballet program and both have been stressed re: the future of the ballet program. One of these students is currently at the ABT intensive, the other at Kansas City’s intensive and both heard immediately about the supposed elimination of the IU program. Needless to say we were all relieved after hearing Sarah confirm it was going nowhere.
Thank you !!!
