Summary
In this conversation, Shane Wuerthner shares his dream of creating a 21st century training institute for ballet in Australia. He envisions three pathways: pre-professional elite education, education for young dancers who have a love for ballet but may not want a professional career, and a space for adults to develop an understanding of dance. Shane believes that by expanding access to dance and creating a future generation of respect and love for the art form, ballet can remain relevant and valued in society. He invites others to join him in creating this space and fostering open conversations.
