The Myth, the Muse and the Algorithm

When we were growing up, we learned about the great ballerinas through library books, biographies, and grainy photographs. They seemed larger than life. We knew them for their artistry, their stage presence, and the magic they created onstage. We couldn't just open Instagram and see what they ate for breakfast.

Today, dancers are building personal brands, becoming influencers, and sharing everything from rehearsals to their daily routines.

But has all that access changed the way we see a ballerina? Has social media made ballet more accessible—or has it taken away some of the allure and mystery that made these artists so captivating?

This week on Beyond the Pointe, we're looking at ballerinas then vs. now, talking about artistry, influence, and what it really means to be a star in ballet today.

Have we lost a little of the magic, or are we simply experiencing it differently?

Grab your coffee (or your pointe shoes) and join us for the conversation!
