Episode 45: Laura Victoria Ward
<p>Laura Victoria Ward is in the studio this month! She is a choreographer, somatic movement educator, musician, painter, performer, and maximalist artist. Her work intersects with ballet, theater, geometry, punk rock, and self-acceptance. And she’s so talented at all of it!</p><br><p>She is the artistic director of Octavia Cup Dance Theatre, a contemporary ballet company known for creating surreal, expressionistic works that push beyond traditional ballet vocabulary while still remaining in conversation with it. She’s also a movement analyst and a somatic movement educator.</p><br><p>Laura’s work makes space for contradiction, experimentation and complexity through the structure of ballet and the joy of improvisation. We discussed what belonging looks like in dance, and why some of her work wasn’t initially well received by audiences and how she pushed past it to create meaningful work that resonates. She also gave advice about connecting with mentors, collaboration and doing work you believe in.

Episode 44: Reed Luplau
<p>Reed Luplau is in the studio for this mid-month episode! He’s a dancer, choreographer, and performer and has built such a multifaceted and versatile career in the performing arts. He trained at the Australian Ballet School and performed with Sydney Dance Company, and he’s appeared in the original Broadway casts of Moulin Rouge! The Musical, Natasha, Pierre & The Great Comet of 1812, and the 2015 revival of Fiddler on the Roof. As a choreographer, his work has spanned Broadway, opera, concert dance, large-scale live events, and festivals across the United States and Australia.</p><br><p>Now, he’s bringing his own work to the stage with the world premiere of How Will I Remember This, a new dance narrative presented by Reed Luplau Works in association with the Institute for American Musical Theatre. This piece is inspired by the history of Eldorado — the legendary queer cabaret nightclub in Weimar, Berlin, shut down by the nazis in 1933. The piece explores memory, identity, loss, and erasure through movement, music, and theatrical storytelling. The production will play for three performances only on May 22, 23, and 24<strong>,</strong> 2026, at the IAMT Theater in New York City. The link to purchase tickets is below!</p><br><p>In this conversation, we talk about Reed’s path from ballet to Broadway, the artistic transitions that shaped his career, and why dance became the medium through which he wanted to tell this story. We also talk about starting ballet late, mentorship and accessibility in the performing arts, and the importance of creating more inclusive dance spaces.

Episode 43: Anne Easterling
<p>Anne Easterling, founder and director of The Ballet Club, is in the studio this month! The Ballet Club is a New York–based school that Anne launched in 2011 with a mission to make ballet accessible to students of all ages.</p><br><p>Anne brings decades of experience to her work as both a performer and educator. She began her professional dance career performing classical and modern repertoire across the United States and Europe, and she also trained as a competitive figure skater. Since then, she’s been teaching ballet and developing an approach to training that blends strong classical technique with creativity and individuality.</p><br><p>She has an MFA in Dance from NYU’s Tisch School of the Arts and has taught at Broadway Dance Center, Ballet Hispánico, Peridance Center, and 92nd Street Y.</p><p>At The Ballet Club, Anne has created a unique environment welcoming everyone from toddlers as young as 18 months to adult students well into their 70s. Her philosophy centers on the idea that ballet is not just for performance or for a select few, but a lifelong practice that supports both the body and the mind.</p><br><p>In this episode, we talk about Anne’s journey into dance and how her experiences in both ballet and figure skating shaped her artistic path. We explore her teaching philosophy — including what she means when she says “ballet is for the brain” — and how she approaches working with adult beginners who might feel intimidated or unsure about starting later in life.</p><br><p>We also dive into The Ballet Club’s curriculum, the importance of staying a student even as a teacher, and why performance opportunities can be transformative for dancers of all ages.</p><br><p>For those who are curious about starting ballet as an adult, Anne shares insights into her on-demand course, All You Need to Know Before You Begin Ballet Class, designed to help beginners build confidence, understand the structure of class, and take those first steps in a supportive way.
