Former principal dancer Jared joins Under NDA for Part 2 of our deep dive into the secret world of ballet. He pulls back the curtain on the side of the industry audiences never see. The backstage jokes, onstage mishaps, and the intense pressure that shapes every performance.
Jared also opens up about the harder realities- harsh body standards, the infamous “fat talk,” starving to stay employable, and the financial sacrifices dancers make for the art they love. From falling into orchestra pits to forgetting choreography mid-show, he shares the raw, human moments behind the perfection.
If Episode 1 gave you a rare window into the world of ballet, this episode takes you even deeper, offering an unfiltered look at what it really takes to survive, and thrive, in one of the most demanding art forms on earth.
