After Class: The Adult Ballet Podcast
If you've ever cried in the car after ballet class, questioned whether you started too late, or wondered why your pirouettes still aren't cooperating, this is your podcast. After Class is for adult ballet dancers — the ones balancing real life, careers, and ballet dreams. Each week, host and fellow dancer Hannah covers technique, artistry, mindset, and the honest conversations that don't always happen in the studio. Whether you're brand new to the barre or a seasoned bunhead, you belong here.

In this episode, I’m joined by Candis MacKinnon, an adult ballet dancer who recently attended her very first ballet retreat — the KM & Friends Adult Ballet Intensive. We chat about everything from pre-intensive nerves to surprising moments of growth, the power of community, and what made this event so special for adult dancers of all backgrounds.
Whether you're thinking about signing up for your first adult ballet intensive, curious about the behind-the-scenes experience at KM & Friends, or a fellow attendee who just wants to relive the magic of the week with us, this conversation is full of insight, encouragement, and honest reflections. So grab your coffee and let's get into it... ◡̈
