  Really appreciate how open and genuine Skylar is! Honest about everything from her privilege to something small like wearing arch enhancers, just really refreshing to see. <br> <br>Even nowadays it feels like much of ballet’s ‘inner world’ still takes place behind closed doors, so thank you for helping open them up with these interviews!

  Totally empathize with the pressure that comes onto myself when asking for something outright

  Having a teacher that exposes you to &quot;fall in love with the hard work and the challenge&quot; reminds me of David Hallberg&apos;s beginnings in ballet too! Here&apos;s to all those amazing teachers who help us all strive to become better at our crafts. Long time fan of Skylar&apos;s and so great to hear she also chose to ground her technique in the Russians too. What an insightful interview, thankyou Isabella!

  Lovely, really interesting interview. There just aren&apos;t enough superlatives to describe Skylar Brandt. So outrageously talented and disciplined, generous and humble to a fault. Amazing. <br>&quot;I was going to be &nbsp;the best tree I could be...&quot; is surely a lesson for life.

  Interesting comment, feeling the difference between the dancey and refined romanticism, and quick footwork and more technical aspects of the role. I&apos;ve always wondered how dancers cope with parts they&apos;re not naturally attuned to.
