This week on Conversations on Dance, we are happy to bring you a chat with our friend, Damien Johnson. The topic of today’s conversation was suggested by one of our listeners who was looking for us to delve into male specific training and some of the issues that arise that are different from females in the field. Damien is a permanent guest faculty member at The School of American Ballet, and a sought after teacher who is certified in the American Ballet Theatre National Training Curriculum in Pre-Primary-Level 3 as well as classical Pilates through Power Pilates. It was just announced that Damien will be stepping into the role of Upper Division Head at The Washington School of Ballet after his recent time as a faculty at Central Pennsylvania Youth Ballet.Damien is the perfect person to chat with about this topic as he shares advice for young male dancers navigating an aspiring career in ballet.Special thanks to Brett Elizabeth Gardner for this topic suggestion. As a parent of a male dancer, who is now a part of a second company, Brett has founded The Ballet Help Desk, to help other parents support their dancers as they navigate the serious ballet training path. The Ballet Help Desk provides an extensive digital library, featuring a collection of articles and videos.

Today we are joined by critic, dance scholar, and former chief dance critic to the New York Times, Alastair Macaulay. We talk with Alastair about the incredible legacy of George Balanchine's 'Serenade'.

Alastair takes us through the history of the ballet, including the myths surrounding its creation, the many changes it has gone through over the years, and why we should really all be pronouncing it 'Seren-AYDE'.THIS EPISODE'S SPONSORS: Energetiks specialize in creating sustainable, world class dancewear for the stars of tomorrow.

This November 1-5, Stefanie's ‘Embarqued: Stories of Soil' takes the stage at BAM.
