| 4/30/25 | Barretender of the Week - Troels Oxholm Thomsen | Everyone on your best behaviour please - Here comes the stage manager!!! We have mixed it all up this week and we are shining the spotlight on someone who is usually hiding backstage. A show is far more than just the people onstage - it is not a competition but the stage manager is probably the most important person of them all. So everyone be quiet in the wings and be ready on time for this weeks guest Troels Oxholm Thomsen. | — | ||||||
| 4/23/25 | Listen Up Kids | Our school days are only so long, and teachers can only throw a certain amount of knowledge at their students. Luckily, all you listeners have Denise and Poppy to teach you and pass on all the advice that you didn't ask for or want! In this school session however, you are all allowed to bring drinks! | — | ||||||
| 4/16/25 | Barretender of the Week - Kathleen Videira | Pouring you all a lovely glass of South African Syrah is my wonderful friend Kathleen. Due to injury she was forced to retire at a very young age, and has gone on to have a great career outside the dance world. We wanted Kath to join us on the pod as we believe her story is very important to tell. Injury affects a lot of dancers and sadly does force quite a few people into an early retirement from dance, so it is a very important topic to disucss. | — | ||||||
| 4/9/25 | It's Just a Job, and That's Ok | Sometimes we just need to talk. Luckily Poppy and Denise have a podcast to do it on! This week's episode shifts into a slightly more serious tone as we discuss some subjects that are not openly spoken about, but we feel are important to share. | — | ||||||
| 4/2/25 | Oops! Whoops! & Sorry! | It happens to the best of us, EVEN to Damien and Paul. Whether it be a costume mishap or a forgotten entrance, it is live theatre and things can and do sometimes go wrong! | — | ||||||
| 3/20/25 | Barretender of the Week - Leanne Cope | Serving you all drinks this week is the beautiful, talented and funny Leanne Cope. From being a dancer with The Royal Ballet to originating the lead role in 'An American in Paris' - as soon as the interview started Leanne prinkled her magic and we were chatting and giggling. We hope you enjoy this episode as much as we enjoyed recording it. | — | ||||||
| 3/12/25 | Dance in the Media | It's time we spoke about models in pointe shoes, and dance movies.

| 3/5/25 | Questions From You | Damien and Paul are back together, this time answering your questions that you have sent in, answering them in only a way that they can. Maybe they will help you out? Maybe they will entertain you?Maybe they will go off topic and talk about something else! Either way, Denise and Poppy are back chatting away and hopefully helping you all out with your queries. | — | ||||||
| 2/20/25 | Auditions | We catch up with Damien & Paul and are talking about auditions....when they decide to keep on topic we are talking about auditions.
