One of the unique off-stage experiences that the Vail Dance Festival offers is the opportunity to sit in on a live-audience recording of the popular “Conversations on Dance” podcast. The podcast, hosted by former Miami City Ballet dancers Rebecca King Ferraro and Michael Sean Breeden, has published over 230 episodes and features in-depth conversations with people from all corners of the dance world.
Over the course of the Vail Dance Festival, the podcast will be recording nine full-length episodes in front of a live audience at the Manor Vail Lodge in Vail Village. Ferraro and Breeden will be interviewing a different dancer, musician, director or choreographer from the festival at each recording. The forums provide the opportunity to learn more about the talented individuals who make Vail Dance one of the preeminent festivals in the world, and the intimate setting allows attendees to make a personal connection and even ask their own question
