SHINE a Light on the Royal Academy of Dance

To dance is to show the world our passion and feelings without a spoken word. We continue our SHINE series as Orb, Planet Classroom’s virtual host, is joined by 5 young finalists from the Royal Academy of Dance’s flagship event, The Margot Fonteyn International Ballet Competition. The Fonteyn is one of the world’s most prestigious ballet competitions, attracting the finest young dancers trained around the globe. In this episode, you will find out how these dancers were impacted by COVID19 in the best and worst of ways. Get the inside scoop on how the dancers dealt with their mental health through the pandemic and what their opinions are on technology and how it can globalize dance education. Who knows, maybe this podcast will influence you to get up and dance!
