About This Podcast

Welcome to the Booty Kicking Ballerina podcast — for dancers, by dancers. Whatever your background, you’re welcome here. I’m Rachel Jenks: retired pro ballet dancer, injury prevention coach, and always a dancer. After decades learning to heal from the inside out, I’m passionate about helping dancers take back their story. Join me and my guests as we get honest about the realities of a dancer’s life — from shin splints to self-doubt — and share what it really takes to thrive... for a lifetime.
