This conversation is an honest and encouraging look at what it means to build spaces where adult ballet dancers truly belong — in the studio, on stage, and in community with one another.Connect with Erica on Instagram:Tournesol Dance StudioRochester Adult Ballet CompanyOr visit her website tournesoldance.comJoin the Corps de Ballet below👇🏼Support the showFollow Hannah on Instagram @thebusybunheadExplore blog posts, merchandise & resources for adult ballet dancers like you at thebusybunhead.comPodcast produced by Mission Bridge Media.www.MissionBridgeMedia.com
