Show Notes

Welcome to the Kinetic Conversations series on pre-professional dance programs, featuring the Fort Wayne Ballet Summer Intensive program. Over three episodes, Artistic Director Karen Gibbons-Brown sits down with professional dancers Talbot Rue, Jessica Humphrey, and Abby Zinsser, and graduating pre-professional GiGi McDowell to discuss this all-important phase in a young dancer’s training.

Following up on our episode on pre-pro development, this is the first of two-parts discussing the importance of summer training in the life of a pre-professional dancer and the benefits of a program like Fort Wayne Ballet's Summer Intensive.
