About this listen

Miriam Landis trained at the School of American Ballet, danced with Miami City Ballet, and now teaches at Pacific Northwest Ballet, all experiences that informed her work as the author of three young adult novels set in the ballet world. In this episode, she talks about the reality of the professional ballet path, the emotional and practical sides of stepping away from performing, and how her cultural background shaped her journey.

Miriam also discusses what led her to transition out of ballet, how her training continues to influence her life, and why she keeps returning to ballet as a central theme in her writing. Miriam also offers her thoughts on the current challenges in ballet training, the need for change in how dancers are taught, and the generational shift she sees happening in the field.
