The Ballerina Chronicles: Recent Episodes
Lara Kunze Briseño
Welcome to The Ballerina Chronicles! Hosted by Lara Kunze Briseño and cohosted by Sammie Floyd, two teenage ballerinas navigating this huge part of their lives. This podcast will mainly consist of interviews with fellow dancers, as well as candid conversations between your two hosts. No matter what the topic of conversation is, expect the raw and unfiltered truth. We hope to have a mix of fun, heartfelt interviews, but also serious, pressing conversations about the ballet world, advice on how to have a healthy relationship with dance, and what it means to be a ballerina.
What's the perfect work-life balance? We obviously don't know yet. But in this episode, we dive into our struggles with juggling junior/senior year and dance, and also with some sort of a non-existent social life (haha). We will definitely be revisiting this topic again sometime soon, but for now, this episode is just here to relate to your guys' experiences and normalize not having a solution to everything.
Breaking down Storie's relationship with dance from the beginning of her injury Freshman year until now. She also goes into how she manages the long hours with school, what it was like slowly losing her passion for dance and how she deals with that while she continues to do it at such an intense level.
Hey everyone, and welcome to the introduction episode of The Ballerina Chronicles Podcast! In today's episode, Sammie and I are sitting down and talking about ourselves and our lives, our relationships with dance, and the goals that we have for our podcast. We hope that you guys enjoy this first sit down talk, and be ready for more episodes in the very near future!
