The Hosts

Our podcast was created when Jayne texted Kalena about potentially starting a blog. Kalena said, "that's a great idea, why don't we make a podcast?" What may have started as a joking conversation led to an incredibly fun and rewarding podcast, and we are so excited to share with you our ideas about the unspoken ins and outs of the ballet world and talk with some amazing guests.
