My guest today is a lively and daring ballerina. We first crossed paths in New York City where we both studied ballet under the legendary Gelsey Kirkland. I was training full time as an Academy student and she was performing with the Gelsey Kirkland Ballet company. Today, she calls Paris her home and has established her performing career touring with numerous french ballet companies. She is both a student and teacher of the Boris Kniaseff floor barre method, a sequence of exercises where ballet movements have been adapted to be practiced lying on the floor. Her journey from NYC to Paris is as unique as her name, India Rose. I’m delighted to have her as the first guest on the Dance to Inspire Podcast.
