Link: https://forms.gle/Uf3Xx3XyEUzBtQw69 In Part 1 of our #NoThirds series on bullying in ballet, we sit down with two experts to unpack what bullying looks like in today's dance world. Dr. Suzette Takei, a longtime middle school principal with a PhD, and Kelsey Fyffe, a licensed therapist who works with high-performing dancers and athletes, offer clear, grounded insight into how bullying is defined, how it develops, and how it affects young people. Fran Veyette adds his perspective from inside the ballet studio and helps frame how these issues can show up in day-to-day training. Together, the conversation explores the difference between bullying and abuse, the influence of social media, the roles parents and teachers play in responding to problems, and the importance of emotional awareness in preventing unhealthy environments. This episode sets the stage for understanding how bullying takes root in ballet settings and how families, teachers, and students can work toward building a more supportive studio culture. In part 2, we begin to address the listener questions we received.
