We sat down with Sarah Wroth, Chair of the Department of Ballet at Indiana University's Jacobs School of Music, to hear all about IU's ballet program. University ballet programs are becoming an ever more viable means to a professional ballet career and IU is a leader is turning out well-trained and mature, employable dancers. Tune in to hear about the myriad opportunities that exist for IU ballet students including a huge performance schedule, the chance to choreograph on other students and the ability to add a second emphasis of academic study.

Be sure to also check out IU's collaboration with Phil Chan, co-founder of Final Bow For Yellowface as the school stages a completely reimagined version of Petitpa's classic yet problematic, La Bayadère. This newly staged version, renamed, Star on the Rise: La Bayadère ... Reimagined, is sure to get people talking! Performances take place March 29 and 30 are available to watch online for free.
