Ballet Help Desk was born out of two moms who spent years trying to figure out how to support their dancing kids.
About this Event

We are excited to welcome Ballet Help Desk as the featured guests for ZTalk 3. This widely followed podcast was created by two dance moms, Brett and Jenny, who spent years navigating how to best support their children through competitions, ballet training, and professional pathways. Like many families, they learned through experience, questions, and trial and error, and now they are ready to share what they have discovered along the way.

This ZTalk marks their first live presentation. We invite dance parents, parents of dedicated ballet students, ballet instructors working with young dancers, and studio directors to join an open and honest conversation about what this journey really looks like for families. Brett and Jenny will explore how parents are processing the demands, decisions, and opportunities that arise along the ballet path.

Our host, Dawn Sue, will lead the conversation. Dawn is also a dance parent with a teenage daughter currently in the ballet circuit, bringing a relatable and informed perspective to the discussion. Brett and Jenny will offer insight into both professional ballet trajectories and collegiate options, helping families better understand the range of possibilities available.

For those who want a preview, we encourage you to listen to the Ballet Help Desk podcast to hear conversations shaping ballet communities not only in the United States, but around the world.

ZTalk 3 will take place on April 18, 2026 from 7:00pm to 8:30pm. The evening will include time for audience questions and discussion. This event is an opportunity to learn, gain clarity, and feel supported while navigating the complex and meaningful journey of ballet.
