Starting point is 00:00:41 I'm Nikki Anderson and my childhood love for ballet has become a lifelong fascination. And that fascination has always drawn me back to one place. The New York City Ballet. New York City Ballet. New York City Ballet. New York City Ballet. New York City Ballet. Its sparkling legacy was shaped by the genius of its founder, the so-called father of American ballet, George Balanchine. But behind the beauty lies a more complicated truth. Throughout its 76-year history, the New York City Ballet has faced allegations of misuse of power, a major lawsuit, and an investigation into sexual harassment, physical and verbal abuse
Starting point is 00:01:19 by a ballet master-in-chief. Now to that bombshell lawsuit against the New York City Ballet, a ballerina is claiming a male dancer secretly took and shared intimate photos of her. Yet the real story isn't in the headlines. It's in the voices of those who were there, the dancers who lived it. Balanchine was an incredibly sensitive person and a religious person and a funny person. Complicated. You see, this isn't just a story about ballet. It's about devotion. I am eternally grateful for that man. Ambition.
Starting point is 00:01:51 I remember walking out of there and going, I'm going to be up there. That's going to be me. And the cost of surrendering yourself entirely to something. It shows humanity. And it wasn't there at that time. It's about the people who graced that famous stage.
Starting point is 00:02:05 It was a fairy tale, really. And what became of them. I knew that there was something, that I had done something really terrible.

Starting point is 00:02:50 you doing? How's it going? It's alright. It's National Pokemon Day apparently. National Chili Day. Kachapuri Day. We do like a bit of kachapuri here at Stack. International Polar Bear Day. National Kaluar Day. You can make a pretty decent argument to say it's a good day for food. There's National Protein Day so you can have a steak, the Big Breakfast Day, you can just have breakfast all day, National Strawberry Day, toast, Fat Thursday where you can just eat doughnuts all day, and a Kaluwa as well. It's just absolutely
Starting point is 00:03:20 cracking isn't it, not bad. and Cornish pasty week comprises Second yeah, what do you have for you doing last night? I Hadn't eaten anything all day because I had crippling stomach pains, but I did end the day with noodles I woke up vomited I woke up vomited played 11 aside of the match, because that's how I roll, came back, did a bit more vomiting, looked after a baby solo, did a bit more vomiting, all day, cramby cramps, having a terrible time. What was the cause of that do you think? I went to a Japanese restaurant and ate too much because I'm a greedy pig.
Starting point is 00:04:02 I don't think I've ever spoken to you about food or meals without you saying at some point you've vomited. Too much food. I just ate too much food. I had two pints of asahi and... Who were you with? Sarah. And I was like, I was absolutely putting the... I always over-order and Sarah will stop when there's still a bit of food on the table.
Starting point is 00:04:23 But I just always think... That's the Japanese custom, isn't it? No, you've got to eat bit of food on the on the table but I just always think like Japanese customers in it no you got your food that's the thing they're quite they kept bringing you more no no I think they just want you to finish all our food they did they don't like waste in a restaurant and snow over order but I just think when they're still like eel or chicken on the table I've got a I've got to see it off it's disrespectful otherwise in it yeah you you'd rather disrespect your own gastric system? Yeah, yeah.
Starting point is 00:04:47 I felt terrible. It's rubbish. I only had myself to blame. I'd just eaten too much. Terrible. How often? Just out of interest. And I'll give you my answer first to make it fair.
Starting point is 00:04:57 It's not as often. I don't vomit as often as I used to. Well, that's not an answer, first of all. But before I would say I probably vomit probably once every two years. Really? Wow. Right. So how often do you vomit?
Starting point is 00:05:15 I mean, individual vomit. Yeah. Oh, individual vomit. Well, no, it's a day of vomiting. If you start in the day with a vomit. No, if you vomit four times in a day, that's four times of vomiting. No, it's a day of vomit, it's all related to the same... You can probably get it all out if you wanted to, but you get tired and stop.
Starting point is 00:05:32 How many days a year? Two, two days a year maybe I'm doing vomiting. That's bullshit. Total bullshit. Because I reckon, look, you vomit probably 40 days a year. I don't... 40 days a year. I don't, 40 days a year. I've had tactical vomits.
Starting point is 00:05:48 I don't think they really count. You're just moving food, you're just moving booze around together. What are you vomiting tactically about? Stella, Stella in a bar. Stella in a bar toilet. Speaking of this by the way, right? You won't know this because you came in just after me.
Starting point is 00:06:03 But this morning, Pete and I did a show this morning together in the office. And I normally get in at half eight, try and be there early, because that's part of my irritating personality. And I was only just in before you today. And I'll tell you why. I dropped my son off at nursery. And what I normally do is I drop my son off and I go and find a line bike and I cycle. And as you know, I've told you guys this loads and I go and find a line bike and I cycle and as you know I've told you guys this loads.
Starting point is 00:06:26 I couldn't find a line bike this morning because someone had vomited over four of them. As in separate bikes. Separate bikes. But this very clearly the same type of vomit. How would they manage to do that then? Did they do it deliberately? It feels like that's deliberate. I will even tell you where it was right.
Starting point is 00:06:44 So it was a road, a big long road, residential road, but it's really long, called Rosendale Road in Dulwich. There were four separate line bikes parked at various spots down the pavement, and all of them had vomit on the seat and it was the same vomit. What a ride! Do you know what I reckon is happening? I reckon it's a protest from some of the wealthier residents who hate the line bikes around Oh, do you reckon yeah, like they try to slowly dissolve them with their stomach acid So maybe it wasn't vomit. Maybe it's like food made up to look like vomit or something I mean very deliberately dumb Pete I'm telling you so I had to write 20 minutes to get a line bike
Starting point is 00:07:19 It just seems like to I mean what you're using for that, like food that looks like vomit. Chicken soup. It's just a minestrone soup isn't it? It's just a minestrone soup, yeah exactly. So someone just poured minestrone soup all over the line bags. What do you make of that? I just don't understand why, it just seems like... Do you know what I thought when I saw it? I thought I'd know Pete was around.
Starting point is 00:07:37 Skills. Pete's up on his skills. No what do you make of it? If you did one long projectile vomit and managed to hit four bags, but if you're doing that deliberately you go, and then running over and go. It was across about 200 meters. That's absolutely insane. Why vomit?
Starting point is 00:07:52 Like what? Why? Do they just sort of, is someone just getting up? You've got to go to the same place tomorrow and find out where they're going to be doing it again. I want to do a podcast series about it. I'm going to speak to the head of narrative, Nicky, and say, will you do this? Will you do this vomit, the vomiting line?
Starting point is 00:08:06 Have you done much stuff on vomit before? Maybe it is the linebikes rejecting bums. It's like, bleh. Could be, they're like, I'm having a bum in my face all the time. Disgusting. Disgusting. Yeah. So I reckon you vomit 40 days a year. Yeah, well, I reckon I don't. And who's more clued in on this particular situation?
Starting point is 00:08:26 It's me. Me. It's me. It's me. You know we spoke about 2012 on Monday. One thing I forgot to mention was that was the year you had that really bad constipation wasn't it? Yeah, no.
Starting point is 00:08:38 I think it was earlier than that, I think it was about 2007. Tell everyone listening how bad that was. I just went through a bout of just not pooping all that much. You know, it's tragic. So Pete had four poos in a whole year. Didn't that, did none of that happen? I think I had one month where it was like, I had like three weeks I didn't poo and that is, that is horrible. But I never want to go back those days and I haven't to be honest. I know Constipation isn't funny and people listening to this who have it won't be appreciating me laughing, but it's only funny because it's Pete and the way he deals with it. You'd think I'd find a way out, but I didn't and I couldn't and I didn't.
Starting point is 00:09:12 I told you before that I remember working with someone who had that problem and they went to the doctor and it's been like two weeks since I've been past the stool and the doctor's like totally unruffled by it. He was like, oh well yeah, come back in a few weeks if it hasn't happened yet. Yeah, just give us something now. If this continues. Did you pop a load of Senokot or something? Just give me, Senokot is not a proactive, it's just rough edge. What's the go-to medication? There's this stuff that stimulates the actual muscles that rotate and undulate in your guts to make things move.
Starting point is 00:09:45 What's the name of the product? Cocaine. If you ever have flirted with that particular drug. Well if you have ever flirted with that particular drug, I hadn't done any cocaine at that point but later on I did find out that that would have been the solution and cause of a lot of problems. Why do you say flirted with it? Like you make it sound like an amazing tryst? Yeah like to oh stop it, get out of my nose stop it. Your eyes locked over a candle lit meal in one of the Oran de Cimant of Paris. Yeah it's not good stuff. You went round the back of some bins like
Starting point is 00:10:21 everyone else does and you bought some cocaine. It's not good stuff. You went round the back of some bins like everyone else does and you bought some cocaine. It's not good stuff, but oh it makes you shit. So I wish I'd had some Coffee didn't work. None of things work. It just makes you feel lethargic and horrible and oh god When you keep bringing it up Everything about you is fascinating. That's why I keep bringing it up. It's not fascinating because I have it isn't true. When you walked in this morning, I know you hate doing stuff about people's dress and stuff, and I don't generally comment on people's dress. You do it all the time. Every hour of your life you comment on people's dresses.
Starting point is 00:10:52 No, yours. Right. Fine. But you walked in this morning. I just had a hat on. I think it honestly like it stopped me in my tracks of what you were wearing. I had a hat on. You had a bright red jumper on.
Starting point is 00:11:03 Right. Some deep purple pinstripe trousers. Yeah, sounds good. A massive pair of Timbaland work boots. Yep. A houndstooth black and grey coat. Yeah. And a beanie that made your head look tiny.
Starting point is 00:11:17 Mmm. I mean... And a mustache. Well when you read that back... The cart of fancy dress is probably against me. How do you feel when I read that back, the the caught of fancy dress is probably against me. How do you feel when I say that? Because I'm not lying about any of that am I? No you're not lying about any of that but yeah but when you're in a bit of a... When you get up at 4 o'clock in the morning when you've got a bit of time on your hands...
Starting point is 00:11:37 More time to get dressed! More time to get dressed in many ways yeah. It's not ideal. Do you want to just... It's a Monday. Things can only get better, it's a Monday. Can I just ask if you just chuck stuff on and don't think about it? Is that what it is? Yeah, that's the issue. You don't ever think about it at all? No, I don't think of anything.
Starting point is 00:11:55 What about if you go to a wedding or something? Oh yeah, I'll put on proper stuff for a wedding. I don't get invited to many. Me neither. I was thinking that there was no happen to a wedding in fucking Asia. And there's nothing better than a wedding? No, well there's loads of things better, cock fucking action. And there's nothing better than a wedding. No, well, there's loads of things better, Cockin. There's loads of things better at a wedding. Why are they mutually exclusive?
Starting point is 00:12:14 But I don't think there's anything better than going to a wedding that's away somewhere where you've got license to go there for a couple of nights and you've got no responsibility at the wedding anyway. So you just get to hoover up the free food and drink, a couple of nights and you've got no responsibility at the wedding anyway. Yeah. So you just get to hoover up the free food and drink, potentially meet some quite interesting people and they generally tend to be at nice locations where you can have a nice walk through a lovely garden. Oh yeah, yeah, that's true.
Starting point is 00:12:35 That is true. And it's normally nice weather because it's normally the summer. But taxi availability always stresses me out though. Yeah, out of London it's stressful. Just out of London it's absolutely, I mean to be fair it's just bad around where I live but um. You open the Uber app and it just laughs in your face. Yeah, out of London it's stressful. It's absolutely, I mean to be fair, it's just bad around where I live but... You open the Uber app and it just laughs in your face. There's one Uber man near my house who basically has a, I think he sort of works in Chelmsford way,
Starting point is 00:12:54 but if you go on the Uber app in Southend there's just one solitary Uberman and he's half an hour away in Chelmsford every time I look. It's just untapped market. I've got the car. I've got the driving skills. I think you should do it. My brake calipers are a little bit funny at the moment, which I'm a bit stressed out about.
Starting point is 00:13:12 I reckon you should do it. Yeah, yeah, just sort of drive around. Get rid of the char-seat. My wife's aunt did some Uber driving just for fun. She had nothing to do for a few months in her town. Made some money. I might do it. I always sort of said I'd do like Deliveroo for Donut Boy. Deliveroo for Donut Man.
Starting point is 00:13:29 Do Deliveroo for a few, a few weeks until I've made £250 and I can buy Donut Man. Yeah. I think we could probably get the Luke and Peach Show community to chip in for £250 good to get you Donut Man. Yeah. But it's not fun like that though, is it? No, it's not. I think I'm past the time of buying funny things.
Starting point is 00:13:49 I think I've got to earn them now. So I was... And that shows growth. Yeah, that's fair enough. You know that chat I did the other week about how ridiculous it is that pubs get closed down for a stupid reason. Yes, yes. Loads of people have been touching me about that.
Starting point is 00:14:04 Hmm. Oh, there's loads of ones. People working pubs or barmen, a stupid reason. Loads of people have been touching me about that. People working pubs or barmen, landlords, all that kind of stuff. Saying that like, some ridiculous stories. Like someone said, I remember listening to a podcast where they were discussing a pub in London where a couple bought a property next door to it. They were made aware of the pub's hours
Starting point is 00:14:22 at the time of purchase, but not long after, just endlessly started logging noise complaints with the council and the pub was eventually closed down. Yeah. Um, it's just, it's another one here. Look, um, there's a pub near my house has been there since the 1900s wins award for best pub in Yorkshire in the country all the time. They never stopped receiving noise complaints from new bill flats that have gone up around it in the last few years. Now I cannot stress to you how unlikely that is considering that the place is basically a nursing home. When I as a 30-year-old walk in and bring the average age by about a decade, no one makes any noise. It doesn't have a license to play any music.
Starting point is 00:14:55 Just, I mean, that should be factored in, shouldn't it? In the people who sort of move in, you cannot make a noise complaint of a thing that's just come up. You know, that was a long time ago. I left out the bit here where he goes on to say that if I find out who's making the complaints, I'm gonna brick their windows, because that's not part of our idea. That's not part of it.
Starting point is 00:15:14 That's not part of the looking picture service, one would suggest. James here, who I've met in real life, says, my dad's local had the same issue. An idiot bought a house that backs onto the beer garden. Complained nonstop for months, they've now local the same issue. An idiot bought a house that backs onto the beer garden. I complained nonstop for months. They've now closed the garden. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:15:28 And then someone else got in touch about the specific pub I mentioned in the article, who said that the guy who, the pub that was closed down through one person endlessly complaining in fairly central London, literally cost in total when they worked out all the things, some like 100 jobs. Brilliant. How bad is that? What a prick. What a prick. I hope an abattoir opens on its site. That'd be great. And it's just wall to wall the sound of grinding cow bones and screams and blood. They sound like you like the death of animals. And we've been in trouble
Starting point is 00:16:02 with that a lot before. Have we? Does anybody really complain ever? No you just get scared because we talked about you know cats and stuff you just get scared you think people are going to get upset they never do because they are you know we've ruined them we've ruined the listeners we've ruined the poor listeners. Just break now. Take a break all right. Bye. Ah, the listeners. We've ruined the poor listeners. Just break now. Take a break, alright. Bye!

Starting point is 00:19:04 It's The Local Beat Shot, I'm Pete Donaldson. Every single Thursday we talk about all things do that sort of thing at Luca Piccio. Not on TikTok though, I'm not really sure how that works so I'm not going to bother checking. Can people get in touch on TikTok? I think they can message. I think they can message. I don't have time for TikTok. I know it's a pure product over Instagram or Facebook or Twitter but there's just too much noise. People trying to sell me three ply sheet toilet roll. Paul has got in touch. Sawadee krap, oh battery.
Starting point is 00:19:51 So Paul, oh battery gods upon high. Greetings from Thailand once again. Hoping to hit my battery daddy hat trick. If successful and the Holy Grail is achieved, then I will bow out of the anxiety provoking submission process. I could maybe chime in sometimes to answer hotel questions such as I tried to get chat GPT direct quotes from the show, alas it's not good enough yet. Yes, I'm kind of confused about how this one's going. I started reading it, I didn't really understand it. Oh yes, can any staff member open my hotel safety box? That's a question that somebody would ask about hotels. They can't, you have to get a very expensive keypad decoder, a
Starting point is 00:20:33 very limited amount of people have access to, interesting. Two, bottom half naked room service orders. It's okay to place orders with no pants on, but please don't answer your room door like this. So you can ring room service Billy Bollocks but do not subject the staff at the hotel to your generals. I don't think he enters GPT for that one. No that seems pretty straightforward to be honest. But the second one is fairly straightforward common sense. Yeah you're quite right but Paul thank you for suggesting questions you might want to ask a hotelier. Yes, here are two candidates, but I will flip the coin and go with this lovely specimen. It came out my daughter's knockoff frozen toy. Ultra super.
Starting point is 00:21:13 I mean, that really was very much a knockoff frozen toy. Barely looks anything like any of the characters. Elsa's got very... It's like an elderly Elsa, isn't it? It's got very silvery hair. Does your daughter like Frozen? Not yet. We went to the cinema for the first time and watched about 40 minutes of it. Then it was dancing time. It was corridor dancing time.
Starting point is 00:21:36 Got to do the corridor dancing. That was very much what needed to be done. But I think you caught me with the Everyman Cinema in Chelmsford. I'm very much not at the stage of taking my son to the cinema yet. Anyway, Ultra Super are indeed a brand new player, so congratulations to you, Paul. Whoa! Wow! Cool. Paul Smith, his name is. Is he Paul Smith from Maximo Park or is he Paul Smith the clothes designer?
Starting point is 00:22:01 Do you remember when Paul Smith used to have that chimpanzee? Or is that Paul Frank? I'm thinking of Paul Frank aren't I? Yeah you are. Or just Frank or talk to Frank. Am I thinking of Paul Frank? They used to have like yeah well I'm gonna Paul Frank that little chimpanzee that was everywhere. That was sort of quite big. Every lass had like a t-shirt of Paul Frank on. Yeah it was at the moment. Quite a big deal innit. It was the same I'veshirt of Paul Frank on. Yeah, it was out of my mind. Quite a big deal, wasn't it? It was the same. I've got a Paul Frank adjacent piece of artwork on my leg. The artist Shrag was the one who drew the Paul Frank monkey and he also did like a tiki mask that I got on my leg which I think might be a little bit problematic.
Starting point is 00:22:40 Anyway, hey, that was the tiki stuff from the 50s baby. Malcolm's got in touch. Hello Luke and Pete, greeting you from Malcolm in Snowland. Long time Luke and Pete short Ramble listener here and a proud card carrying member of the Luke Nation. This past week... He's got to be the only Malcolm we've ever had listening to this show. You don't find him anymore.
Starting point is 00:23:00 A lot of Malcolm tints. I tell you what. Yeah, that's not the same thing. It's not. This past week the partner of ours and I have been battling fumes, 12-hour days and existential dread while painting my recently deceased parents house in the Canadian North. Sorry to hear that Malcolm. The adventure began with a four-hour drive through Ontario, I can't speak today I'm so sorry everyone, where we were greeted by minus 30 degrees celsius. Usually when we get stories like this you were like
Starting point is 00:23:29 minus 30 degrees well that's probably not that bad. Yes it's bad. It is. Actually it would be worse in Fahrenheit wouldn't it? If it wasn't Fahrenheit that would be quite bad. I think they start to become very similar around that temperature. Do they merge? Yeah, okay. Well, snowpacked back roads nearly reduced our hot hatchback to an ice sculpture. After a few near-death experiences, we made it to the house, only to be dragged, kicking and screaming into relentless back-breaking days. Still, as you recent fathers well know, the body adapts. Somewhere between our feverish brushing and rolling, I stumbled upon this just-in-case AA in an emergency kit we keep in the car.
Starting point is 00:24:08 Fingers crossed it's a fresh entrant. We did finish the house so if you or your wealthy benefactors are in the market for a four bed two bath home on six acres with lake access in the Ontario wilderness do get in touch no reasonable offer. Absolutely amazing. Refuse, it does doesn't it? I'm actually looking for a new house at the moment but I'm not sure that commute will be good. Little, little, yeah it's a it's a heady commute has to be said but. Just in case is the battery. Yes just in case. So you are the second person to send those in Malcolm after our friend Katie who sent them in about 18 months ago with a lovely picture of her cat as well. So unfortunately you're the second person to send those in.
Starting point is 00:24:49 So quite a rare battery, but they're not a brand new player. Yeah, well, look, close. I think, Malcolm, if you weren't so tired from the house renovations, you probably would have got in there first. But I'm so sorry to hear that. Don't blame yourself. Don't blame yourself crying out loud. And I was watching this video about how you keep a car running in that sort of temperature.
Starting point is 00:25:11 People are living like your cut skunk stuff. They have like little adorable little kind of covers for their car to keep them warm. warm and also they pack their engines with like loads of like basically just like packing to keep them warm. Lots of people in the US have a button they press where their car warms up before they get in it as well. Yeah, that's got to be a modern one. Oh yeah, that's definitely modern. Anyway, Jeroen has got in touch, thank you Jeroen, long time listener, first time emailing
Starting point is 00:25:43 all that bollocks. A girlfriend I have access to and I do not live together yet so over the Christmas period she lamented the spectacular lack of any decorations in my apartment. Being a good boyfriend and also a cheapskate I opted for a little tree with some lights all the in situ. I mean an atrocious bit of work I mean it really is Geron. I mean you are... It looks so depressing. You're a bad boyfriend. You're a bad boyfriend. It's worse than having nothing. Yeah, I know. As I finally came round to get rid of the bloody thing last week, I noticed that the little battery pack was see-through
Starting point is 00:26:15 and the two beautiful double A's were staring right at me. I present to you... Ifster Eye, super energy even. Ifster Eye, super energy even if star eyes super energy even never if star I super energy even even oh sorry yes I added that into the into the title super energy even so I'm appalled by your Christmas tree effort yeah to say that yeah and your name seems like it might be Belgian if it is you should be ashamed yourself because Belgium is a very Christmasy place Yeah, good point. And in my heart
Starting point is 00:26:48 And if that wasn't bad enough news, you are unfortunately the seventh person to send in Ifsterise So I'm afraid no new player there either, but we've got one today, which is not too bad We've been it's been slim pickings in recent weeks. So it's good to have one then there at least. Yeah good stuff Well, thank you, Jaron. And and yeah thank you to everybody who got in touch via the emails about the battery batteries you found in your lives. HelloLewpidsShow.com is the way to do that. Shall we do a quick email before we chip off? Have we got any more? Oh you're going to do one, why don't you go and do one?
Starting point is 00:27:19 Dan's got in touch, hello man, I hope you're keeping well. Please can Pete discuss Gordon Kindness? I started volume following Gordon Kindness on Instagram recently and noticed that Pete was one of four mutual friends. I love people like Murray, friend of the show Murray, typed in, like found some stupid account and then went, oh Pete will like this. I was already following it like a dirty little drunken shibuya account. Yes, I would love to hear his thoughts on Gordon's output and think the Laps list of shit would enjoy it too. Well worth a follow, Dan. I heartily recommend Gordon Kindness.
Starting point is 00:27:54 He is a bloke from Salford, I think, and he gets up at three o'clock in the morning to work in what can only be described as a leisure centre. But his main thing is he eats shit food from like, he doesn't treat us, but he treats his body worse than I treat my body basically. Which is quite hard to believe. Which is quite hard to do. He will basically just have McDonald's, have like Greg's pasties and stuff.
Starting point is 00:28:18 Can I just say like about 60% of his posts are about diarrhea. Yeah, so he constantly has diarrhea. He will start the day by eating some, he'll go to the gym, because he's on a bit of a health kick now at the moment, but he'll sort of go, he's married with children, and he'll just sort of,
Starting point is 00:28:36 he'll sort of make his own little kind of tomato sauce, brown sauce, mayonnaise, kind of mix it up, and he goes, a bit of wet, bit of wet. And he's going, and he goes, bit of wet, bit of wet. And he's gone, and he'll go, oh, but he's not camp all the time, I'll just switch into a, is this going to give me diarrhea, oh, and he just does like a sexy like, ah noise when he... It's not the content you'd be doing if you were brave enough.
Starting point is 00:29:02 Exactly, so he always wears a big coat and I'm a big fan of Gordon Kindness and he just seems like a proper stand-up bloke. Well Dan, thanks for bringing that to our attention. Are you nothing about it? All that success in the world for him, he's well worth a follow, all that success in the world for him, he's just a lovely bloke who just seems like a stand-up man and I look forward to three weeks time where he's exposed as an awful murderer, which is usually how these things go and we can all unfollow him.
Starting point is 00:29:27 But at this moment in time, Gordon Kindness, he sort of makes that noise. He's safe. He's safe. He's nothing vicious. Is this going to give me diarrhoea? And then he'll cut to him like three hours later, he goes, it did not give me diarrhoea. It's just the ooo noises I quite like. He's a good follower.

Starting point is 00:31:25 Dancers push the limits of the human mind and body in the relentless pursuit of perfection. I'm Nikki Anderson and my childhood love for ballet has become a lifelong fascination. And that fascination has always drawn me back to one place. The New York City Ballet. New York City Ballet. New York City Ballet. New York City Ballet. New York City Ballet. New York City Ballet.
Starting point is 00:31:46 Its sparkling legacy was shaped by the genius of its founder, the so-called father of American ballet, George Balanchine. But behind the beauty lies a more complicated truth. Throughout its 76-year history, the New York City Ballet has faced allegations of misuse of power, a major lawsuit and an investigation into sexual harassment, physical and verbal abuse by a ballet master-in-chief. Now to that bombshell lawsuit against the New York City Ballet, a ballerina is claiming a male dancer secretly took and shared intimate photos of her.
Starting point is 00:32:18 Yet the real story isn't in the headlines, it's in the voices of those who were there, the dancers who lived it. Balanchine was an incredibly sensitive person and a religious person and a funny person. Complicated. You see, this isn't just a story about ballet. It's about devotion. I am eternally grateful for that man. Ambition. I remember walking out of there and going, I'm going to be up there. That's going to be me. And the cost of surrendering yourself entirely to something. It shows humanity and it wasn't there at that time.
Starting point is 00:32:52 It's about the people who graced that famous stage. It was a fairy tale, really. And what became of them. I knew that there was something, that I had done something really terrible. From Stac, this is season three of Legacy, Dancing with Shadows. You can listen to the first three episodes right now.
